APA makes so little sense I want to spit chewing gum in its hair. And also, I hate it.

The bad news is I’m at that point in book writing where I’m pretty certain everything about this is stupid and derivative. The good news is I’m pretty sure no one’s done my journal article idea that I want to be working on. So.

A year ago my Popaw died. He was the worst kind of monster. So today, instead of remembering him, I am going to celebrate my mom, who had the strength to raise my siblings and me to be unafraid, even though she always was.

I modulate my emotions with music, so I listen to just about everything 1920s-2023. But whenever I need a pep talk, it’s gotta be Chance the Rapper.

Legitimate idea: one swiftie volunteers every game to check whether she’s there and then if she is, lights up the Bat Signal.

My mother has texted me my name in all caps, followed by 8 exclamation points! And then nothing else. For an hour. And I don’t think I’ve done anything? But I’ve been wrong before.

My kid just said the most Southern thing possible: she told me I grew up “in the North.” Reader, I grew up in Wyoming.

I am not contesting that doctors and their teams should get paid. They should. But doesn’t it seem wrong that I have to pay hundreds of dollars to all kinds of specialists just to have them shrug their shoulders and send me on to the next? They’re shooting in the dark with my health and my $$$

Honest trying-to-learn question: Here in the Deep South we are learning that it is still seen by many as wildly rude to not respond with yes ma’am, yes sir, no ma’am, no sir. However, I don’t want to misgender anyone or teach my children to. What can we use to respond instead?

Earlier this year, when they thought I might have cancer, my (secret) fear was that I’d lose my hair. Now, I don’t care. Shave it off. Facial scar? Don’t care! Just make the pain STOP. #trigeminalneuralgia #TMJ
