If I ever become a comedian I have my opening liner. How do you know if you’re clinically depressed? You cry through your ketamine treatment. (Cue drums and laugh soundtrack) Yes. I cried through the whole thing. How is that even possible?! I mean dude, that is depressing. Even a pain reliever pumping through your veins …

Keeping my promise Jacob
Either my hiding skills have gotten worse or they are better finders as Cycle 3 has one main difference (or at least I think it does…maybe this is another tale of mine), but my children are very aware. It was Benno who found me first crying hysterically as I lay balled up on our patio …
If you can’t trust yourself, who can you trust?
I’m realizing that the narrative in my head is not quite complete. Nope. That is not even a fair description. It is totally inaccurate. When reading THIS. It was like I was reading someone else’s story. My eyes rapt with this stranger’s tragedy. Turns out depressive people like tragedies. Note: I have NOT watched the Hands …

It’s back, cycle 3
Going on four. Four days. Day one was really dark. Just the understanding that there will be a day two, three, four, five…was enough to put me in tears for hours. I don’t have time for this. I don’t have minutes to spare! Days? Absolutely not. It’s odd that even though I know what it …

Lego Block
The lego block. Pure genius. Even as toys get more complex with remote controls and flashing lights, the lego block remains supreme. Fads come and go, but there is always lego. Its pure simplicity is its brilliance, but also its power. A block with endless possibilities. A unit of wonder. A cell that can be …
Ukraine
We have all been so challenged as parents these last years. Having to explain things that we never thought we would have. We explained to our children the need to wear masks, we explained why they can’t see grandma. We did unthinkable things, but that is what we do. We protect our children. And now …

Last one standing
She was the last one standing. I wonder what that is like being last. I don’t think any of us envision being the last one standing. Instead we envision our funeral full of people swapping stories and passing tissues, but what if there are few people who know your story left? My last grandmother died. …
