ABOUT ME
Posting casual outfits and beauty reviews. I’m over 40, but still kind of cool. I love sushi, loud music, my fiancé Eddie, and my cute dog Charlotte. I used to skate.

THANK YOU THIS IS HOW I DO
A month now. That went fast. At this rate of healing, I’ll be up and at ’em in…who knows? Tonight I started drafting some thank you cards to people who sent flowers or contributed funds. A select few will receive a card just for attending the memorial service and leaving their address in the guestbook (signing the guestbook is very important, people).

11:11
I can’t believe it’s been 11 days already. And I haven’t “blogged” rjk5000 style in probably 11 years. But right now—in these circumstances—writing is what feels best. Eddie died 11 days ago.

I have to say that it was all very successful. I felt great, my productivity … Continue Reading »

I counted that I have seven jobs (some more legit than others, but…medical editing, teaching, private tutoring, freelance medical writing, shoe flipping, IG influencing, freelance creative writing), and all that work on top of trying to prioritize home life, health, and self-care (and bouldering!) has been a little much. But I think I’ll stop worrying about … Continue Reading »
