It has been a very stormy summer. I just got yet another weather alert telling me it may start raining shortly, which feels less like a forecast at this point and more like a personal threat. We’ve had the rain. The thunder. The lightning. A giant tree in […]
There was a time when I believed my umbrella choices said something noble about me. I was a small umbrella person. The kind who tucks neatly into a bag, emerges politely, and takes up as little space in the world as possible. Compact. Considerate. Mildly damp, but morally […]
We are supposedly in the last week of summer. But let’s be real, it’s not actually the last week. The sun hasn’t signed off yet. The weather app is still screaming UV index 9. The sandals still have one more lap in them. And yet the vibe says […]
The first crack of thundersends one dog scurryingtiny paws, frantic heart,vanishing beneath the coverslike a secret we pretend not to keep. Rain taps at the shutterslike a memoryI haven’t quite made yet.The kind that lives in muscle and moodbefore it ever finds words. The leaves sway lush, green,resilient […]
You ever walk through soup? Not metaphorically. I mean real, breathable soup. That was me today on my way home. Dragging my legs like they were filled with lead and regret through the thickest, heaviest air this side of a pressure cooker. The kind of air that slaps […]
It’s Monday. Again.But this one feels… oddly quiet. Suspiciously still. The kind of quiet where you wonder if you missed a memo. A mass text. A cosmic “Out of Office” notification. This past week, I’ve noticed something. Or rather, I’ve not noticed something.People. Where are they? The commuter […]
Well folks, it’s not even July and the heat has already come in like a sweaty wrecking ball. That’s right Miley! The kind of heat that seeps into your bones and short-circuits your brainwaves. You know it’s bad when the street pigeons are panting and the corner bodega […]
It’s officially summer. The season of sunshine, sandals, and spontaneous joy. The time of year when, according to every influencer and CVS seasonal aisle, I’m supposed to be glowing, hydrated, energized, and possibly twirling in a field of wildflowers. But here I am staring down a lukewarm to-do […]
Let’s talk about the dog days of summer. Not because it’s sweltering (though it is for some already) and not because your AC unit is giving you side-eye from overuse, but because I’ve been pondering whether dogs really know or care that it’s summer? The phrase “dog days […]
