Well yesterday was long, long day 14 hours 31 minutes to be exact. I once again was a poll worker. It is amazing how much has changed since November. November was a breeze, take your paper ballot and put it in the box. There was no MAGA hats, shirts or weapons, everyone played by the … Continue reading

Gingerbread Hotel
Every year I say I am not building a gingerbread house and every year I lose sleep because I never start early. This year is no difference, I decided to build the hotel. The house was due Saturday, I of course started Monday. I learned so much, like isomalt is really hot and I shouldn’t … Continue reading
Why? Why is this so hard?
I really do try to keep non-art stuff off my blog, however 2020 has thrown that like so many things out the window. I have been working behind the front desk since September, I now remember why I left the operation side of hotels and vowed never to return. The front desk is hard, people … Continue reading
To Mask or Not To Mask
I personally have been dawning my mask since May, any time I leave the house or head to work. I have been called horrendous names and told I was going to get pneumonia for wearing one (true interaction) the guy then said he was not a doctor (no, I am shocked – eye roll). I … Continue reading
Did I Miss Something?

The Five Stages of Grief…
The past week has felt like a death in everyone’s family. 196 Year Tradition was given the ax because of an invisible microbe invading everywhere. I admit I do wish it was zombies at least with zombies, I know how to defeat them and I have a plan (no judging I have a zombie apocalypse … Continue reading
An Eerie Calm
The calmness that has overcome the city is eerie. I have been through Hurricanes, the calmness that is currently happening is weird. It is a Friday before St. Patrick’s Day any normal year, there would be lines of people checking in, doing shots of liquor in the lobby, bag pipers letting us know the party … Continue reading
An Unexpected Guest…

Saying Goodbye
Saturday night, I received a text from a friend and former co-worker. The text was simple, “Mary died Wednesday.” I knew he was too broken up to type much more. We worked together for almost 8 years, I spent 40 plus hours a week for 8 years that is a long time. Mary was the … Continue reading
