The first time I went to Pasadena Convention Center was for a robot convention called Bot Con. You know when that feeling that you have found some place so cool and rare? That’s how I felt about Pasadena. I didn’t leave the valley much and I had only been driving for a couple of years.…
#217 feeling twenty twenty-two
Like my girl Taylor Swift sang “I’m feeling twenty two” In my mind, there was so much I wanted to mention for the first post of 2022. I wanted to talk about all my hopes and dreams for this year. Tonight, as I write, fog is present in my head. I can't think straight or…
#165 2020
Hello everyone, It is finally 2021. One of the trends of 2020 was saying how horrible 2020 years and how excited we are for it to end. I always found that very unusual because it’s not like our problems are going to go away magically once the clock hits 2021. Life doesn’t have a reset…
#216 another year 2021
I wanted to take some end of 2021 photos. My room was always a mess this past year from all the sewing I was doing. The shirt I am wearing was made by me and never finished either. LOL The skirt is actually an old dress that I took apart. I plan on making it…

The definition of stagnant is “(of a body of water or the atmosphere of a confined space) having no current or flow.” Have you ever felt stagnant? When I looked at the definition of stagnant, I was surprised that water was being used on the definition. I have been wanting to go back to swimming…
#211 A Thanksgiving Story
PainWhat does pain look like?What color does it shine?Is it circular or square?Can I squeeze it?How does it create that gut-wrenching feeling?How does it bring tears out of your eyes? Marcel plays classical music loudly to drown out his pain. He sits quietly on his dining room table. A fresh pie sits on his kitchen…
#210 kindergarten blues
I have lost my voice. I opened up a new kindergarten class last week. I was not looking forward to teaching these munchkins because kindergarten is exhausting. The school pulled out four to six students from the other five kindergarten classes and put them in one class. Unfortunately, kindergarten at this school is insane. There…
