Figuring shit out.
My tired brain is trying to untangle the threads of my fear of spending money, the irony of that in the face of my late husband’s addiction, and how I found spiritually at a Bruce Springsteen concert. There is an essay that involves all three of those things and I’m just trying to figure out how.

My younger dog got hold of the salt shaker and ran around the house with it and now it’s like I live on a salt beach and that’s how my day is going.

It took me so long to finish my essay collection—which features my wonderful marriage—that I’m now going through a divorce. Talk about revision work…
