  • Buying a house, prepping bowels, and the airline industry: gold stars all around.

    The last few months have flown by, which is a mediocre pun if you know I work for the airlines. Read to find out what all has happened since the new job, new home, and new city. I give us gold stars. Josh and I really did pull off some magic in the first couple…

  • Scotland, because it’s not England

    I get my wisdom teeth removed. I work a week from hell. I go to London, Scotland, and consider how wise I ever was.

    I decide to work very hard for a week, to get a week off. My first trip is to Banff, Canada and I am excited. When I return home, I’ll have Wisdom Teeth extracted.

    I fly standby to Japan, experience fortune in a variety of ways, and return home wishing I had more chill.

    I fly standby, take my mother to Maine. We see Acadia, Tyler Childers, and Purgatory. Which is a specific inside joke, if you know Childer’s break out album.

    I am asked what my dream job is, I defend flying standby, I eat ice cream with my grandmother.

    Two Truths & a Lie. Read about the time I went Skydiving.

  • “Do the right thing”

    I get stuck at my kitchen counter laughing at a single instagram reel, write a poem about it on the way to work.

  • The Epilogue That I Ripped Out

    The epilogue, ripped out from They Won’t Apologize for the Mess by Xine Rose
