Hi! Thanks for reading! My hobbies include making coffee, drinking coffee, and starting to write a story and then rage-deleting it when I get the slightest bit frustrated.

Hi, "Mike"... I've been thinking about you again.
***Author's Note*** I love nurses. I respect nurses. I've worked with fantastic nurses. This is an open letter to one specific nurse who "cared" for me and my first son after he was born. I discuss trauma and infant peril. Read with caution, please, and don't read if you aren't in an emotional place to do so. I totally get it.

The Amalgamation Game
Every night at midnight, the purple clouds came out to dance with the blushing sky. Tonight was a special occasion though. Sometimes the clouds took on the shapes of enormous animals as they danced across the heavens. And tonight, they were Emily's favorites... dragons!

Why Vocal Reminds Me of My Aunt Cathy's Upstairs Bathroom
My kids are napping and, of course, I can't because I needed three cups of coffee to make it through their swim lessons this morning. So here I am, very awake, sitting down with cup number four, my feet up on the couch arm, and my open laptop humming quietly.

Man's Best Friend
My humans left for their day jobs just now and that means I can curl up on their bed in comfort without getting caught. There is a crate in the living room and several cozy floor rugs where I could spend the lonely hours, but let's be honest. Is the floor or a cage really the place for man's best friend? I guess my recently adopted sibling, Teddy, can go in the crate if he wants, but I'm staying on the bed!

Hey YOU! STOP IT!
Last night, I finally submitted my first story for the Tall Tail challenge. It took me a long time to research and get right and I am super proud of it, actually. Vocal says it has a 4 minute read time, although, in reality it takes me closer to 2 minutes. I'm a fast reader, as many of you are, I'm sure! Whatever, that's fine if every single read doesn't count. I enjoy the interaction with other authors in the comments more anyway!

What the F is Magical Realism?
Every night at midnight, the purple clouds came out to dance with the blushing sky. "Ummm...what the heck did I just read?" I said to my hovering coworkers, tapping my fingernails against my rather anachronistic journal and fountain pen while staring into the bright and unnatural light of my laptop screen.
