Funny thing about death. You don’t know anything about it until it’s at your door. Or on the other line. Or in a small college town 400 miles away. Grief feels a lot like walking through sludge.

Another Monday.

My dad is coming home today/tomorrow.

I say today slash tomorrow because his flights from Chile, although departing today, won’t arrive in Chicago until tomorrow morning. I can’t wait for him to come home. Two weeks is too long for someone I love to be in a different country. I loathe not knowing I’m a less than 5-hour plane ride away.

(Lexi, a 5-year-old, came home singing "Sexy and I...

Nicky: Um...she said sassy
Lexi: NO, I said SEXY
Leslie (Mom): Yeah, Lexi that's not really a good word for little people to use.
Leslie: Say "pretty."
Lexi: Well what does it mean?
Leslie: It's sort of an adult word for pretty, but it's not appropriate to use it really, so let's not.

Cracked the Crab

I had a really rough day at work. We’re talking clients calling and aggressively attacking my work for 30 minutes straight. We’re talking being understaffed and having multiple deadlines. We’re talking rushing to try and get a website live I’ve had on my plate for more than six months. We’re talking having zero time to take a break or eat lunch or function....
