It’s time for some hoodoo to buy this Techbuilt house. It’s overpriced by an investor who just can’t keep it rented or renovate sufficiently. Cut your losses!

It’s time to become more international! How have I not gone beyond these borders?

It has taken 6 months to fully exit the condo and escape the grounds of my trauma, which had been on mental repeat every Friday. My late husband had little faith in this sale and often little faith in me. Well, I’m free.

This morning’s dream was random yet specific: Midge Ure was producing my album. He hasn’t been top of mind, so what exactly did I eat/absorb yesterday to twist the noodle this way?

A “share your feedback” email? Oh, honey, your feedback is: Nothing went wrong enough for me to leave a negative review.

Dragon Con can’t always have something for everyone, but all 3 of the guests I wanted to see canceled. Boo! And the panels schedule hasn’t been published.

What is the point of AI generated comments on an ad for AI tools? Maybe another AI will read them and buy something?

50+ years for Baldinos in Doraville. It’s a dive of a sub shop but so good.

I had an HIV test yesterday. It has been many years, but I’m dating and want to answer with authority. There’s no reason to believe my late husband left me a “parting gift” but just to be safe, you know?

Seems I’ve been chasing unicorns. Ugh! But I *am* a unicorn! What to do?

Pardon the elitist tone of this, but I worked my way to what had been a much better than average living yet still there is an extreme struggle to buy an Atlanta home in an area that isn’t too sketchy. Even 10 years ago, this was a reasonable task.

Oh no! It has occurred to me that I might operate like a manic pixie dream girl. Enjoy my newfound whimsy if you dare.

Being more open/less conventional is a healthy aim, but it’s just not me. I won’t judge others but am unapologetic about heteronormative tendencies. That has gotten a lot of Boo! Hiss! lately—rightly so if regarded as normal/correct/superior—but I LIKE like vanilla, well, Vanilla Bean.

Tonight I’m touching my balls. If you come over, you can touch them, too.

The algorithms keep pointing the message “now is a time to work on yourself” at me. Bitch, no! I’ve got this.
July 22, 2026 at 2:48 PM
Don’t look at me like that, towel. I will not be judged by the likes of you!

I need to build a squad.

Claudia Peina creates the cutest Zuni fetish bears. I got these in Estes, Colorado.

The condo is getting its second open house on Sunday. It needs to get some bites! The house candidates I find keep getting snatched up, but I’m prepared for having to stick it out for quite some time.

Eating a bowl at Moe’s now because it’s a trashy Monday, and I kid you not. Cocteau Twins - Frosty the Snowman is playing. Am I hallucinating?

Help! Eye fatigue! Cheap bifocals to the rescue, but new glasses are needed (and an optical appointment).

You may have noticed I’ve been sharing my trauma lately. It’s more important for me to write about it than it is for you to read it.

This week would mark mine and Erik’s 11th legal anniversary or over 22 years together. We had 16 wonderful years. Ouch. I said it.

I gave Widow’s Bay a try. Not 100% convinced after one episode, but I see what they’re going for. Pretty much The Fog but with comedy along the lines of Newhart or even Schitt’s Creek (but not the heart). Perhaps one more episode.

I’m giving myself permission to be pissed. After many years in a smash-less marriage, the universe rewarded me with a nookie sample which is now on indefinite hold for respectful reasons. Famine again. Just Oy.
July 9, 2026 at 3:18 AM
There is such a thing as widow’s fire, but this ain’t it, y’all. I deserve re-established and new friendships. I deserve love, respect, trust and fun in equal measure. The universe owes me backpay on nookie, though.
