I feel like I have gone with the flow. Being adaptable to this new reality. However, in the last few days, I am getting a little annoyed. Tomorrow is Bailey's 25th birthday. Before the shit hit the fan, I had a plan. Well, many plans of making his day special, but the...

Yesterday, I shared that I was pitching my manuscript to three literary agents during a virtual writing workshop. Let me just say, if technical issues were a drinking game, I would have been drunk. Christ. On. A. Ritz. Cracker. My first pitch was at 9:15. I logged on...

After 500 days in quarantine, I have something scheduled to do today. I was supposed to attend a writer's conference, but since COVID-19 is on spring break in our area, it is now a virtual event. Last year when I attended, my manuscript was only a fourth of the way...

Many blogs ago, I shared that math isn't my friend. Apparently counting isn't either. I guess that goes with math, right? Do you see my issue? So, I ordered some more of my favorite Perrier. I might be a tad obsessed. It is flavored with orange and lemon. So...

I ventured out yesterday playing the role of the delivery service for my mother. You know, since she had an emergency where she required orange juice, vodka and cream of wheat. Of course, because I don't want to go out for a while, I got additional items since I know...

Yesterday felt like a Monday. Oh, right, it was. I shared my ordeal with accomplishing the simple task of making coffee. It seemed that the day was off-kilter, but I was determined to grab it by the throat and bend it to my will. Sometimes I crack myself up. Anyway,...

I woke up late today and it threw me off. You are probably thinking, "Allison, you are basically chained to your home, why the hell do you need to get up so early?". I have a routine, friends. It involves being woken up by a demanding Basset, who is desperate to go...

People, it felt amazing for me to vent yesterday. (For those of you who haven't read it yet, please feel free to peruse my blog entry, It's You.) It was such a release. So freeing. And the response was unbelievable. We are all in this together, well, except for the...

Yesterday, my husband braved the belly of the beast AKA Costco, and experienced empty shelves where toilet paper used to reside, and an extensive line to simply enter the building. Here I go on a rather elaborate rant. Friends, hold my coffee. You. Yes, I am talking...
