  • One winter evening I got a notification about possible fraudulent charges on my credit card. I had not in fact gone to Redbox twice that day, so I told them to replace the card. I got home and really had to pee so I beelined it to the bathroom. It occurred to me that it was really cold inside for some reason, and when I got out of the bathroom I noticed the living room window was open. Then I looked around and noticed that on my way to the bathroom I had walked past a bunch of drawers and cabinets that were also open.

    Luckily not much of consequence got stolen. Whoever it was probably didn’t have a car because everything that was taken was small. We had a nice TV and my ex had a nice computer that were both still there. On my end, I was missing that credit card (I had accidentally left it on my desk after making an online purchase) and my wedding and engagement rings. I was in the middle of a divorce and wasn’t going to keep them anyway, so hopefully someone else got some enjoyment out of them.

    I have had many times when I can relate to all of this.

    I hope this comes off as intended - not trying to belittle your experience, hopefully make you chuckle - but have you considered a rap career?

    Haven’t gone to the gym or been outside, and eating junk. Hard habits to break when I get into a funk.







  • True that. I’m also trying to learn and grow and realizing that I am very very scared of being authentically me, and interactions with a wide variety of people make it easier to put bits and pieces of myself out there, but they never really quite add up. So it’s a bit of a crutch that I’m leaning on. I finally got off the wait list for a therapist, so that will be a thing to bring up for sure!

    Alaska’s been good to me. We found a really nice place to spread my friend’s ashes. It was just off the trail and a very peaceful spot for the four of us to sit for awhile and figure out what we wanted to say and how we wanted to go about the whole thing.

    I’ve been on the road solo since the 16th. Met some really cool people in very brief periods of time. Not sure why I crave these transient experiences so much, but there’s something about them that is so good for my soul.



  • Finishing up an Alaskan cruise. This is the complete opposite of how I usually travel and likely something I will never do again. That said, it has overall been an incredible time with some wonderful companions.

    Tomorrow, we will pick up my friend’s ashes at a post office in Anchorage, and the next day we will head to Kenai Fjords National Park. He made it to 49 states, so we’re bringing him to the 50th.
