After being happy that I managed a busy Thursday – ironically to prep for the weekend – my body absolutely said enough. Friday, I just could not get going properly, with more naps than your average preschooler, dealing with achy – achy – joints, and my hands just not cooperating. I was really hoping –… Read more

Before I dive into my rather large math assignment – and we all know how much I just love doing those 😉 – I wanted to share how thankful I am for a Friday and Saturday filled with the very best things. ❤ Friday night, Sara and I met our friend Ashley for the Alanis… Read more

Last week was chaos on the school front as we, the online students, are having some difficulties with a new system devised by the school and the on campus bookstore – that I did not use before (I preferred a local independent bookstore in Starkville where I NEVER dealt with this crap) – in which… Read more

Joan Didion actually wrote in painful detail the near miss she and her beloved husband John Gregory Dunne had with divorce in the 70’s. He edited the piece. (Of course, they were together for some thirty happy years after.) Still, she said you always just write what you have, whatever that is, no matter how… Read more

In the past several days, I’ve wrapped up my spring semester – and I am deeply grateful to have made President’s List grades this term. It was very *very* stressful at times with the sepsis/surgery/weeklong hospitalization that found me unexpectedly midterm. Managing to finish well was purely God’s grace, amazing professors, my wonderful family, and… Read more
