A Sneezing Tale: Achoos & Bless Yous
February 17, 2025
I am sneezing. Relentlessly. My eyes are watering—not from tears of joy, but from an unholy alliance between sneezes and the cold. The weather outside isn’t even that cold—just mildly so. Am I hoarding all the cold inside me, depriving the season of its rightful chill? A one-woman cold bank? There’s not a single raindrop, … More A Sneezing Tale: Achoos & Bless Yous

There were “Meet the Teacher” appointments, Curriculum Nights, High School Freshmen Orientation, and … More Things That Made Me Smile Today
From Summer Slumber to Slipping Time #FictionMonday
July 22, 2024
My alarm went off at 5:15 this morning. I got out of bed after 5:30 somewhat reluctantly—not because I wanted to sleep more, but because tomorrow school begins after the summer holidays and I’ll have no choice but to get up when the alarm goes off. That thought discouraged me. It’s always these unwelcome, undeserving … More From Summer Slumber to Slipping Time #FictionMonday
