How do you fix five hundred years of oppression, murder, discrimination, fear, anger, distrust, and suffering? I know I’m not the only one asking this question. Our country is hurting. Our people are hurting. And, honestly, I don’t feel qualified to even be writing about this. I can feel sad, but I will never understand…

I’m Not Okay
I started crying while I was feeding the dogs this morning. Not because a bag of their special rice-free blend costs eighty dollars, but because I’m grieving and the overwhelming sadness came at me, unexpected and uninvited, as I scooped Annameat Encore into bowls. Rewind to March 26..it’s Thursday afternoon and I’m waiting anxiously for…
All I wanna do is Zooma Zoom Zoom Zoom
One day this will all be a strange memory. As I took my afternoon walk today (alone, obviously) I passed people working in their gardens, riding bikes, and sitting on their porches, just enjoying the sunshine. Simple pleasures. I thought of how I’ve been more patient with A in the mornings because we’re not rushing…
Going Viral
These are strange times. I’ve never been part of a plague before. It’s hard to remember what it feels like to just go places without worrying about who might be carrying a deadly virus. Or if there will be toilet paper. Really, doomsday preppers? You had to take ALL of the Charmin? We are blessed….
Trust me, I’ve been there
I’ve given my heart to some real winners. There was the alcoholic, the guy who stole my money and helped me look for it, and the one with anger issues who sent me an “I can’t stop eating” GIF because I didn’t want to date him anymore and had put on ten pounds that year….
Mrs.Who?
Did anyone else have an identity crisis when they tied the knot? I can no longer identify as “single plump waitress living in friend’s attic with constipated cat”. No wonder I didn’t get much action on E-Harmony. Just kidding. Mostly. The truth is, I spent many years not quite fitting in with the people around…
Souprise!
I accidentally made soup last night. I found a recipe for White Chicken Chili in a book I borrowed from Hoopla (free digital library app! Check it out! And that’s a library pun 😳). I took a screenshot of the ingredients and instructions but forgot the name of the recipe. I started calling it “Salsa…
B (Less) ed
“Of course, godliness with contentment is great gain” ~ 1 Timothy 6:6 I just want to lean into this verse, hug it tight and let it sink in slowly, taking up residence in my bones. The very appeal of it is strange to me. I always thought I’d end up living in some exotic place…
A Little Updatey Update
Mrs. Matthews here. It’s been almost two months since I walked down the aisle (well it was more a grassy pathway) to marry the best man in the whole world. We had a wonderful day surrounded by a few of our favorite people and it DIDN’T go by in a blur! We rented a…
