It occurs to me that there’s a book I should be working on. The house is mainly moved. Down to the elliptical machine and the gardening table on the back porch. Then I need to clean the shit out of the place. Cleaning can happen later. I’m tired. I want to sit in bed and […]

Whoda thunk it’d be a controversy to show a couple of size 10-16 women in their underwear? Apparently, most men don’t like them.

I finally got around to getting my 3-month-post-IUD-insertion checkup at PP (Dear PP, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways…). There’s some pre-menstrual discharge for about four days before my period, I still bleed for 7 days, but only two of those are freaky. The cramps aren’t fun, particularly for somebody who
