I don’t think I can write anything right now because I just got back from a strange house I was working in and it was traumatic. There was a mouse running around in the bedroom….his name was not Mickey. I checked. Twice I heard rustling from a hole in the kitchen wall. I’m sure it...

Run Like a Girl-see post story thoughts

Most people know about my fear of bees.  Anyone who hangs around me outdoors for ten minutes becomes aware of this, based on the shrieking they hear every time a leaf falls off a tree, or when my peripheral vision is invaded by a butterfly.  And if the little boy next door reports to me...

Strip Mall

I was SO excited the first time I ever heard the term ‘strip mall’. I was 13 years old and my mom said she would take me to one.  Man, what a disappointment…
