EDMR for MFA trauma? We can do that??? Keep working, you! And your inner child is all that. I haven't read All Fours yet, but I just the reviews and New Yorker excerpt, plus all the press about menopause have me eating chomps turkey sticks and barbells like I'm already shriveling. ♥️♥️

When she suggested EDMR to me I was like, this isn't like REAL trauma, this is like, you know, manageable trauma or whatever? And she was like, uh huh, IS IT? What I think they really took from me is my ability to relax and have fun and explore, and that's what I want to connect to again.

Yes, the final draft, no matter how pretty, is always the ass-end.

Costume tutorials always welcomed. One year my ever-delaying middle school son decided at the last minute to attend a Halloween party and needed a costume. So…

I grabbed an old white radio promo t-shirt, went out to the car, painted one of the rear wheel’s tread black and ran over the shirt.

He gladly went to the party as Road Kill. My best work as a parent. 😏

About 85%, so I'm almost done. I don't dislike it, but I'm not really resonating with it. I feel like SANDWICH may be more my vibe so I def need to get that one soon.
