loose change

monday piece from the airport 🙂 and surely the first time i’ve begun one before dawn! i am sleepy. i left for LAX this morning at 4:10. i’m going to meet my lovely family in hawaii for a very indulgent birthday trip for dad. what a treat! the terminal is crowded. i’m often surprised by…

a sneaky (tuesday) monday piece due to yesterday’s extenuating circumstances! it was a big weekend–dad’s sixtieth birthday party and some beautiful quality time with sammy. this past week i’ve been thinking a lot about fear, and a lot about community, about friendship and love. i’ve ALSO been really hung up on daylight savings, and muscles…

the first monday of march! i’m bundled up in the corner of my bed in my room with the lights turned off. today was my first day back at work full-time and all i wanted to do when it ended was crawl into a cave and think about nothing. i’ve marginally achieved the first half…

after what felt like the longest and most sedentary week of my life we’ve made it to another monday. my 12th piece! i’ve been dreading sitting down to begin it for most of the week and i’ve spent the entire day putting it off but i refuse to miss a single monday, so my stubbornness…

i snapped my radius in half this week :- ) truly i can’t wait to write about all that i have learned in the past four days (vast amounts of knowledge) but i simply don’t have the willpower to transcribe it all with my one hand. surgery tomorrow! a gigantic first! hopefully you’ll hear about…

january is gone! it was a good month, a month for settling into things, a month to figure out how to lay the foundation for the year. it felt like a loooooong month. we’re back in a leap year! leap years have always felt kind of romantic to me even though i prefer the odd-numbered…

starting this ninth monday piece from brian head utah! where i’m staying w/ maddog and madmax and niki for a weekend of friendship and skiing and beers and unpredicted circumstances! it’s sunday again (i’m writing ahead) and we spent all day hopping from blue to blue to green to blue and our bodies are tiredddddd…

writing my monday piece on sunday for the first time! because i had the time, and it’s sunday evening, and i have a vague idea of at least one thing i want to write about, and tomorrow’s gonna be a busier one. and now i’ve been sitting here for 40 minutes and written only those…

it’s monday morning in big bear and i’ve begun writing while s makes breakfast. the house in big bear faces east and every day it is filled with the purest morning light that reflects off of the white walls of the kitchen. it’s extremely pacifying to sit here wrapped in a blanket with my coffee…
