I am moving from Philly to Boulder in July. Weirdly, I am also rehearsing the largest role I have had in years. So along with the creative disassociation that is part of acting, my relationship to the place I have called home for 30 years is . . . untethered. I haven’t been high from any substance in many years and yet the best description of how I feel these days is stoned. So yes, I find this post relatable. 😳

So, I’m going to need to know who that Italian witch was on YT.

My drug of choice is Zoloft (and estradiol and progesterone and a small helping of levothyroxine).

And I have been doing the work in EMDR in releasing the grief and absolute outrage that I wasn’t nurtured the way I should have been. (My mother told me a story on Friday about how a person told her that she was their favorite person while they were on a trip. That is, perhaps, a weird thing to tell someone else and Teen Kris really wanted to punch her in the face in that moment… but that is my mother - focused on how she is perceived and being feted for her specialness.)

Good luck continuing to ride the waves and I’m super happy your roof is leak proof!!

I’m soooo glad I’m not the only one who buys courses and never does them! Only recently did I figure out that, right now, I never want to take a class again.

For a severely disabled person, I am hideously over-educated; BA in English (Creative Writing) and a JD who never practiced law.

After that, I was periodically required to take work-related courses.

It’s not that I don’t want to learn new things—I just don’t want them packaged and promoted.
