Part One “Hey Cal, Mr. Jacobs pulled his mask again.” “Again?” Callie blew out an exasperated breath. “Can you take care of it? I have to get this report done.” “Sorry, I’m a nurse, that’s the job of an RT. I wouldn’t want to step on your toes or anything.” Callie rolled her eyes “I’llContinue reading “Take My Breath Away: Part 1”

Headache
My husband is an extreme extrovert, so it goes without saying that this pandemic/social distancing has been very difficult for him. This Saturday a good friend of ours was celebrating a birthday. My husband, never one to pass up an opportunity, invited her and another friend over for a game night. Throughout the night IContinue reading “Headache”
Sunday Stories
Sunflower Sunflower, her name was Sunflower. She walked through the halls with grace. Her toned muscles working under the surface of her skin like ripples in a pond. She moved like the seven-days-a-week dancer she was. Toiling away in the studio, her home away from home. Tap, ballet, modern, contemporary, jazz, and hip-hop; every styleContinue reading “Sunday Stories”
Apologies
In these times of trouble and divided sentiments I have come to realize that there are those who see the act of apologizing as one of weakness. This boggles my mind. Don’t we as parents tell our squabbling children to “be the bigger person” to “apologize and make peace”? Have we gotten too old toContinue reading “Apologies”
One Star
It has come to my attention that one-star reviewers are often total idiots. . . . . Since I have become (cough*cough*) an avid online shopper I have become dependent on ratings and reviews. What did we ever do without them? Stumble around in our consumerist diapers buying faulty light fixtures and electronics that dieContinue reading “One Star”
What’s Truth Got to do with It
*I definitely have certain leanings in politics, but I try very hard to keep that from my writing. My intention is to not bias the reader. If my skirting around and not making a judgement feels like an endorsement of one belief over another, that is not my intent. I simply want to get peopleContinue reading “What’s Truth Got to do with It”
No Dogs Allowed
I didn’t want a dog. I wasn’t looking for a dog. My friend, who has two dogs, thought I needed a dog. Just like a happily coupled person is always trying to play matchmaker, she was always on the lookout for a dog I could love. TXT: Did you see the puppy on Nextdoor? SoContinue reading “No Dogs Allowed”
Lots of Laughter and a Little Patience
I work in the special education department of an elementary school. As an instructional aid I have held multiple positions working with children with varying levels of need. Several years back I was working with a child who tested me on a daily basis. Most teachers will tell you they don’t have favorites, that theyContinue reading “Lots of Laughter and a Little Patience”
Only Human
A little over a year ago my co-worker mentioned he was looking for a kitten. His son wanted one and he was going to surprise him. “My daughter’s friend is giving away kittens.” I told him, excited I could be of help. He seemed excited too and we set it all up. A few daysContinue reading “Only Human”
Dear Extroverts:
I am an introvert. Not the kind of introvert that doesn’t talk to people. Not the kind the movie industry portrays as shy and unassuming. I like people. I like talking to people, hanging out, being friends. I would just prefer to do it from the comfort of my own home. I guess you wouldContinue reading “Dear Extroverts:”
