Cause and Effect

August 30, 2014 Dana

Another Crossroads

August 16, 2014 Dana

Getting By

August 2, 2014January 17, 2015 Dana

It’s bizarre to me that buying myself $10 of cheap vegetables can feel decadent. Maybe I’ve never been quite this poor before. In college there was student loan money every semester and free pizza at club meetings or free food… Read moreGetting By

Quarter-Century Crisis

July 27, 2014 Dana

Working Too Hard

July 15, 2014 Dana

Well, This is Awkward

June 23, 2014 Dana

There was this moment of communication with my boss today that I don’t know how to process. There’s this breast cancer awareness bicycle ride in September. She created a team for the bookstore, and since I’m learning to ride, I… Read moreWell, This is Awkward

It’s Been a Rough Week

June 6, 2014 Dana

I’m pretty good at psychoanalyzing myself. It takes a few days, but eventually I can figure out what’s up with me when things go south. Usually not before I break down sobbing once or a few times, but you know,… Read moreIt’s Been a Rough Week

Going With the Flow

May 28, 2014 Dana

Something I’ve been thinking about for a few days now. Just got back from Burning Flipside, a much-needed artistic vacation. My lover and I had printed out the list of events from the website before leaving, and while we consulted it… Read moreGoing With the Flow

It’s Never Too Late

May 1, 2014 Dana

Finding the Way Back to Me

April 8, 2014 Dana
