Well, here I go again with the very irregular posting. See why blog consistently for 6 months is one of my Things? It will take some real effort. Granted, I do have a few good reasons for not being on top of my Things lately. I picked up some side work and it’s been gratifying…
Part 1: Clarification I feel like my last post was incomplete. I keep thinking about going back and editing it, but I decided to just clarify it here and move on. I mentioned finding what triggered my most recent depression. I want to make it clear that, this time…for me…there was a definite external trigger…
I haven’t posted in nearly a month. It’s been a hard month. My daughter was born in March of this year, and since then, I’ve been battling some pretty gnarly postpartum depression. Things started looking up in June and July, around the time I started this project, not-so-coincidentally. But things took a turn in August…

My first Thing was starting this blog. The next Things I tackle will be book related. Next up, I’ll be rereading The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy series, which inspired the project. I love the books, but I can’t claim Super Fan status. I’ve read Hitchhiker’s and Restaurant at the End of the Universe twice,…
I’ve never been big on goals. I’ve started so many projects that I never followed through on (including several forgotten blogs all hidden under this same WordPress account). But I feel really pleased with my list, and I’m excited to embark on this project. I think it’s fitting to kick this off with permission slips,…
