If you haven’t listened to the story on Risk!, this post won’t make sense (it should be coming out Monday night of 6/12). If you have listened to it, this post just gives you a peek into the mind of a woman going crazy in a car by herself for three months on the…

Alzheimer’s Ain’t So Bad!
People think Alzheimer’s is all gloom and doom and I get why they do. I mean, it’s definitely sad to watch someone’s mind deteriorate right in front of you. And it’s even harder living in constant fear of the day they won’t remember you anymore, which is essentially like being dead to them. Like instead…
Karaoke for alztheimer’s patients
My dad’s favorite caretaker and I did karaoke for the memory care unit again last night (we call ourselves Shell-anie). This Neil Diamond rendition ended up somehow turning into a st Patrick’s day tribute to immigrants lol. My Irish accent is terrible but this was super fun nonetheless. My dad was not impressed but…

How a Story Saved My Relationship With My Dad
I’ve flown back to Nashville to visit my dad 5 times in the last 6 months, which is kinda crazy now that I think about it. I spend the majority of my time here just sitting in a chair next to him, watching football while I play on my computer or swipe guys left on…

VIDEO: The Best Costume Ever
All my old coworkers (who lived in their cars with me back in the day) threw a costume party out in the desert. My favorite part was Zoltar. I went as “Hilary Clinton Beaten To A Pulp By the Media” cuz I will always defend the way we treat women, regardless of their…
You Shouldn’t Hate My Abusive Ex Either
(This summer in Vermont where I used to work for Outward Bound) When I worked at Outward Bound, one of our 23-day courses was with all at-risk boys ages 13-15 and it was insane. Besides all the gay-bashing we had to shut down and the toxic masculinity we had to deal with and the fights…
