    Well. I got it. The day I tested, I tested because I felt really weak, and I realized I couldn’t smell the coffee I was making. I haven’t had any other symptoms besides being tired and having no taste. I don’t even feel tired today (except for daylight savings). I feel like the volume on…

    Updated after several texts from my dad to correct my mistakes Today is my parents’ fifty-fourth wedding anniversary. They got married on Feb 15, 1969. They were going to get married later in the year, but dad was home from Vietnam for a short leave, and his mom suggested they just get married that weekend…

    This post isn’t for all audiences. It’s mostly a rant. Premenstrual dysphoric disorder is a real kick in the teeth. It’s a severe and chronic medical condition that fortunately doesn’t affect everyone, but unfortunately does affect me. Dysphoria is such a good sounding word, but not a good thing. It means a generalized dissatisfaction with…

    What irritates you about the home you live in? I really like our house. It’s gorgeous – a well-kept Victorian. I do get irritated by unfinished projects – like, when we replaced the floor, we didn’t put the baseboards back everywhere. That is annoying. I also get irritated when I step on a dead mouse,…

    Describe the happiest day of your life. This is another prompt where I immediately feel bad for not having a single answer! But from another angle, I’m lucky to have so many happy days that it’s impossible to choose one. My wedding day was dope. That was really a good one. That whole weekend was…

    What color describes your personality and why? Hmm, interesting question. While I don’t always take well to these prompts, I do appreciate being nudged to think about things a little differently. In a course I did last summer, one of the things we were supposed to do is imagine ourselves, like, not our bodies, but…

    What’s your favorite meal to cook and/or eat? I don’t have a favorite! How could I choose!? I like cooking and I like eating as well, so I maybe I’m supposed to have one, but I don’t. It really depends on how I’m feeling at any given moment. I cook Hello Fresh a lot, which…

    Do you have a memory that’s linked to a smell? Aren’t most of them? Ok, I have a specific one actually. There’s a certain combination of diesel and/or airplane fuel, cigarettes, and cold that reminds me of hugging my dad after he’d come home from a worktrip. He had this grey leather jacket that he…

    What fear have you conquered? Hmm. I guess being confident in my own opinions enough to assert them pretty consistently? I have phobias that I have definitely not conquered (like, fear of heights, brrzt) and actually, conquered is a pretty strong term here. I have improved, which is all I think any of us can…

    What is your preferred mode of travel? Sometimes I think I’m indecisive because I don’t have a ready answer for this (see also: favorite song). I think part of the reality is that I don’t think too much about modes of travel, and I am ready to be delighted by any of them. For really…
