Kiki asked if I ever wrote about not having children. It shows up on this blog often enough, but not really (at all?) in my fiction. I wondered if it would be helpful to try. I feel like it would be easier to write about if I had it all neatly processed and packaged up, [...]
I think I might need a separate category for Food Lion.
Anyway, this is just a note to say that I was looking for a card for a baby shower and it was hard. One card started with something about “tiny little hands…” Started crying right there in the card aisle. Not a lot [...]

Along the top of the garage door and by the side of the house are two wasp’s nests- mud tunnels about six inches long and a half-inch wide. These wasps look particularly horrifying as they hover threateningly, landing gear extended. I decided to ask google how to best get rid of them.
