Yesterday was Thanksgiving. And I don’t know why y’all. Leading up to yesterday. Kept asking me if I was hosting. First of all. I’m not domestic. In any form. I keep trying to tell y’all this. Two weeks ago. I washed the Cross Country uniforms. In the dryer. Chose the settings and everything. Threw in … Continue reading I’m Not The Matriarch

Mountain Biking Introduction
Oh hey! So I brought- “Give me your keys.” And I tried for indignation. That was my gut response. But then images of that time I lost my key at North Mountain. And then that next time I lost my key. At North Mountain. And… No. That’s fair. So, I handed GBFF…WHTBS my car key. … Continue reading Mountain Biking Introduction
My Invisible Roommate
Rogue believes that December 6th is the day. The day that I will finally hit my breaking point. Whether from my job. Or from what I'm now referring to as my Invisible Roommate. I've talked about him before. About how bad it was. And it was bad. When it was just him. Clomping around like … Continue reading My Invisible Roommate
Star City Half Marathon
“Whatever you do, just don’t beat Coach.” This was our Track Coaches directives. To my Cross Country runner. I don’t get nervous for races. Ever. Because I put no pressure on myself to perform. Or even finish. I’m out there strictly to have fun. And find the post-race nourishment. And camaraderie. But yesterday morning? I … Continue reading Star City Half Marathon
Upstairs Podracer
I almost fell asleep on my way to PlatFITStayFIT yesterday. But managed to stay awake long enough to get there. Early. I’m early! “It’s 4:25.” I know! I’m early! “Class starts at 4:00.” But no. I start at 4:35. Except. I’m early! Find you a gym trainer that will let you bully him into adjusting … Continue reading Upstairs Podracer
Leo Ego
My work boyfriend told me I looked “fiiiiinnneeee” yesterday. Then she said something about bouncing a quarter off of me. Now, she did it during a virtual faculty meeting. So people could watch my reaction. But also. She continued to tell me. After the meeting. In real life. When there wasn’t an audience. So I … Continue reading Leo Ego
Flex Format Friday
Teacher work day. Should be a pretty easy, relaxed day. I mean, not so relaxed that they’ll let us do our work from home. In our comfy clothes. Where we have full access to our refrigerators. Where all of our stress foods are. Because the people who are working nights and weekends when they’re not … Continue reading Flex Format Friday
PFSF Dress Code Violation
So, I’m the reason PlayFITStayFIT may have to implement a dress code. I went to leg day this week. And I was the star student. Like, J-Vicious wasn’t saying I was the best student in class. But he was saying the others were the worst. Which automatically makes me the best. So I was feeling … Continue reading PFSF Dress Code Violation
Unmedicated, But Caffeinated
That is what was left of a Joe Bean’s iced mocha coffee. With whipped cream. And chocolate syrup. After a one hour meeting with DSS. She brought me that coffee as an apology. For “running me ragged” with truancy. Look, I don’t know how much y’all know about the Department of Social Services. But when … Continue reading Unmedicated, But Caffeinated
Day Creek Comeback
I keep seeing these dudes on Tik Tok. All pissy. Bitching and complaining about how we've hidden the powers of Midol from them. But y'all don't understand. Midol may be the only thing keeping us from randomly punching you in the balls. When our hormonals kick in. Times like. Now. I laid down for a … Continue reading Day Creek Comeback
