I can soon officially say, “I DID IT!”

A very tired me – January 18, 2026

Update

Tomorrow I begin Spring 2026 semester at UNR, and my last one before graduating in May!

Apologies to the 1 or 2 folks who were reading my writings! The last 3 semesters, especially the last semester, have kicked my ass. I had absolutely no time for anything but doing the classwork. It’s all good though, as most of it has been reading and writing.

On May 15, 2026, me and my 20 year old kid graduate from the University of Nevada, Reno. Me with an Interdisciplinary Degree in Creative Writing and Social Justice, and Gigi with an Interdisciplinary Degree in Creative Writing and Digital Game Design. Check this out! Me and Gigi have poetry class together! This will be interesting!

After I decompress for a few weeks, I’ll hopefully get back to writing and sharing here, and get caught up on posts from the past 6 months. Thanks to the few that stick around!

During winter break, I did more work organizing and cleaning Lillian’s room (my disabled 24 year old daughter), re-arranged and re-decorated the living room, and we (me, Lillian, and Gigi) had a photo shoot yesterday for an upcoming March magazine article.

I am pleased with the look and feel of the living room. I didn’t get finished with the movie wall. I’ll come back around to it after the semester is done. Lastly, after nearly 20 years, I finally found another hat I like on my head! I lost my favorite and only hat 20 something years ago. Yay!!
