Trust Your Gut

Back in my post-college era, while I was still living at home with my parents, we had a freak snowstorm in the beginning of March. It snowed about a foot or so, and I nearly didn’t make it home from work. I made it into our neighborhood, but my car got stuck on a different Continue reading

Pride

Coming to terms with one’s sexuality is be a challenge I never really thought I would face. Admittedly, there were rumors in high school and college that I was a lesbian, mainly because I didn’t date, but primarily had friendships with other girls and did not outwardly express attraction to men very often (at least Continue reading

Fever Dream

In the continuing saga of “Allie’s Many Ailments,” I contracted both the flu and tonsillitis last week. It was the first time I have had to call off work in almost twelve years – the last time was Snowmageddon in 2011. I have also never been more miserable, including the conjunctivitis/hypertension/respiratory infection debacle of last Continue reading

Lost

2023 has been off to a rocky start, despite my best intentions. I aimed to have positive beginnings in both 2021 and 2022 as well, to no avail. But this one has been somewhat different in tone. I have felt more hesitant, more afraid – but also more eager for change. Over the course of Continue reading

The Nice GameStop Lady

I am a forgetful person in general. Not good with names or faces. But I do remember actions – and kindnesses. Especially when they come from strangers. My best friend and I, wannabe Pokemon masters to this day, bought Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver at their time of release. A wise decision, considering how much the Continue reading

Vacation, All I Never Wanted

Allow me to preface this post by saying that I am fully aware the following story has a “first world problems” vibe, but sometimes, I just want to complain. Thus, I’m going to. This post will also contain descriptions of some rather gross medical conditions, but no pictures, so here is a trigger warning for Continue reading

Rainbow

On a recent flight, I looked out the window and saw that we were flying past a gorgeous rainbow. Unfortunately, my phone was off and in my bag, and by the time I dug it out and turned it on, this photo was all I could capture. A little fragment was left. A mere slice Continue reading

Worth 1000 Words #14: The Top of the Stairs

At the tail end of a dismal 2020, I vowed to make 2021 better. For my personal life, professional life, and mental health. I can now safely say that not only was 2021 exponentially worse, but 2022 isn’t off to that great of a start either. The downward spiral has continued. I am sure that Continue reading

Killer Swing

I was involved with sports for a significant portion of my adolescence. Basketball, soccer, track, and softball. I excelled in two of those (track and soccer) until a career ending knee surgery at age 15, and now I stick to the treadmill. On the bright side, I got out of it before I had time Continue reading
