A place where I write
by Kate
I turned 39 earlier this year. When my wife hit that point a year ago, she made a comment about wanting to have walked a certain amount of distance before she hit 40. I thought it was a good idea at the time, but didn’t really think of it as any sort of necessary thing …

Somehow, I survived the week. I capped off today by riding my bike on a Target errand and promptly collapsed at home for the night, because that’s just what time is like around here right now. Before the weekend is over, I have to read 2 books and help get the apartment presentable assuming we …

Here we are, week 2 of Blaugust. I’m still lost in the busyness of daily life, but, I’m trying. Week 2 is supposed to be about introductions. This place is only a couple of years old, and I’ve only managed a single introduction post in that time, and it wasn’t even for Blaugust. Here are …

Did I forget I still need to do a post today and it’s after 7pm? 100% yes. Life now is busier than it was when I was doing this a year ago. It’s weird to realize there are lots of things taking up my days, and somehow I made the choice to be doing them. …

I am no more prepared for this endeavor than I was last year, but, here goes nothing! At least this time around I knew this was coming. Of course, it’s Thursday, and one of my busier Thursdays at that, so I’m hoping I can get something short and sweet thrown together to mark the occasion, …
