Yesterday

Yesterday felt like a Monday. Oh, right, it was. I shared my ordeal with accomplishing the simple task of making coffee. It seemed that the day was off-kilter, but I was determined to grab it by the throat and bend it to my will. Sometimes I crack myself up. Anyway, that’s not how it went.…

Just Another Day

I woke up late today and it threw me off. You are probably thinking, “Allison, you are basically chained to your home, why the hell do you need to get up so early?”. I have a routine, friends. It involves being woken up by a demanding Basset, who is desperate to go outside, and then…

Perspective

People, it felt amazing for me to vent yesterday. (For those of you who haven’t read it yet, please feel free to peruse my blog entry, It’s You.) It was such a release. So freeing. And the response was unbelievable. We are all in this together, well, except for the hoarding assholes. For the last…

It’s You

Yesterday, my husband braved the belly of the beast AKA Costco, and experienced empty shelves where toilet paper used to reside, and an extensive line to simply enter the building. Here I go on a rather elaborate rant. Friends, hold my coffee. You. Yes, I am talking to you. The one who insists on shopping…

Clear As Mud

During this difficult, the government wants us to participate in the Census. Kind of coincidental that our esteemed officials send this out when we are looking for things to do. I would have preferred my stimulus check or adult coloring books. Both would be delightful and welcome distractions. So, I filled out the damn thing…

Getting Creative

How are you all doing? I know this spending time cooped up in our homes can be daunting. Some of you are working from home while others are trying to figure out how this new reality is suppose to work. In a recent blog, I shared that each day I strive to write down three…

Teachable

As I am sequestered in what I will refer to as “Retreat 2020”, I am inundated with the realization that there are some rather stupid people wandering around the planet. Well, no one is really wandering unless they are running to the grocery store everyday because they are ridiculous humans living in fear. But, you…

The Little Things

With no end in sight for our current hostage situation AKA quality family time, I was reminded of a practice that I learned early on in my spiritual recovery program. At the end of each day, I write down three things that I am grateful for and two things that I forgive myself for. Yesterday,…

Breathe In and Breathe Out

I have no idea what day it is but I figured it’s Monday since it is gloomy and spitting rain. Turns out, I was right. I just want to say that I appreciate those who are swimming in the humor. Trying to laugh at a really bizarre situation. I love all of you, who are…

The Learning Curve

Yesterday, I escaped the stigma of being labeled a murderer. My spouse complied with my wishes. He and his group of merry men will now be doing their recovery work via Zoom. Praise Jesus. The whole process of proving him wrong was exhausting. Kidding. He is used to being wrong, so the world is as…
