I know this this just a bad day & I’ll feel better tomorrow.

But today I’m wearing my baggy “Auburn Tigers” tee & jeans that are at least two sizes too big for me. The waist hangs on my hipbones. The extra clothing is a buffer between me and the world. Dressed this way, I can fade into the background and nobody will judge me. I haven’t worn these clothes for a very long time, but today I need them.

I forced myself to clean up, put on sunscreen, mascara & lipstick, then pulled my hair back in a pony tail and now I’m ready to head out to take sis shopping.

It always makes me happy to make HER happy, and even though she’s in a wheelchair now, making her happy is as simple as taking her out for a cheeseburger and french fries. 16 months ago

... but I’m back now.

Time to take my life off auto-pilot & fly again! 16 months ago

I started writing songs & performing as a songwriter because I LOVED it. For awhile, it had become more work than fun, so I wrote with a couple of new people & got some fun new songs.

I was a little nervous about telling hubby that while I’d ultimately like to make some money with our music, it has to be fun for me, or I don’t want to do it. He’s been a professional musician forever & he’s learned to treat music the way I treat science – as a job. Thankfully, he got it when I told him & after we play the Bluebird this weekend, I’m taking a break. 1 year ago
