About
I'm a twentysomething MFA grad enjoying life in a state of flux, dreaming of Paris and San Francisco while loving the warm summer evenings in North Carolina. I'm a little irreverent, a little mercurial, with an uncanny knack for putting my foot in my mouth.

For Room Spinning
So, I’m going to see how long I can go today without medication. I’ve got two pills—one for nausea and one for “room spinning” (that’s literally what the bottle says: take 1-2 pills up to three times a day for room spinning). The nausea one is not supposed to knock me out, and the room [...]
Dizzy
So that part about the room spinning? Not a metaphor. I was trying to wait it out, but last night I started dinner and got so dizzy and sick that as soon as Jesse pulled into the driveway, I stuck my head out the door and said, “I need you to finish dinner!” and as [...]
Going
Well, folks, I guess this is about it. Unless I post tomorrow a “Just kidding–was too sick to board the plane!” message. I’m rocking a sore throat and a cough and a whole bunch of tired, but the fever is gone and I’m doing better tonight than I was this morning and the Zicam’s still [...]
What I’d Rather Not Think About
Yeah, and there are other things that are harder to talk about than good days and waffle toppings. Like, how the older I get the more terrified I become of losing my parents, and how more inevitable it seems. I am not coping well with their aging, with the knowledge that one day, assuming we [...]
The Week in Review: Plague Edition
Tuesday: Woke up with a not-so-great feeling which quickly turned into an “Oh, no!” feeling, which resulting in my sprawling across the bed, panting and moaning for Jesse to take me to the doctor’s office. Fortunately, The Plague began before Jesse had left for work. I remembered our friend M., who had something along these [...]
Ugh.
Been an interesting week here. I got the stomach flu on Tuesday. Jesse came down with a cold virus. Our house is a wreck–rolls of toilet paper scattered, empty boxes of medicine and bottles of Pedialyte discarded, the bathroom floor still sporting a towel and pillow, the spot where I spent most of Tuesday wanting [...]
