Unpopular Opinion
I saw Dear Evan Hansen last Saturday. I knew it won a bunch of Tony Awards. I knew it was well loved and very popular. And I did not like it. I loved parts of it, I must admit. There were some great songs. The acting was really good but the characters weren’t as developed…

Daily Prompt 5/10/23
(I started this 6 days ago and never got back to it. I am going to keep the original date.) I decided to just go in order of the prompts I’ve already used. I thought this one would be so easy but as I sit here thinking, I realized that it’s not. There’s a lot…

Work Ethic
Boy #1 has no work ethic. I hate saying it. I tried so hard with him. He’s always been…slow. Slow to follow directions, slow to take care of what he needs to, slow to grasp what the hell is going on around him. He got fired from his fast food job last night. At McDonald’s.…

Some days you just need a…
Nap. Today was one of those days for me. I don’t mean to keep going to bed late, but it just happens sometimes. I find that I have too much energy to go to sleep and then there’s a bunch to do and so you stay awake longer than you should. Bit of catnip. We…

Daily Prompt 4/2/23
What makes a person unique is someone who accepts themselves exactly as they are, quirks and all. I have met only a handful of people who genuinely do not care if people think they’re weird and embrace all of who they are with no reservations. Most of us have to go on a journey and…
