Keep these posts coming, Lindsey. Consider that when you don't know what to write, what you give us is the gift of a window into the reality of ambivalence, of trying and sometimes failing, falling short, yet noticing. It's all in the noticing. Your foibles (the turkey went bad! the seedlings didn't make it into the ground on schedule! the rice was overcooked!) are so relatable. They make me smile and forgive myself, too. Who doesn't need that? xo
This stack of post-it note observations may be one of my favorite things you’ve written. I laughed out loud at the punched mouse and my heart squeezed at little W writing and holding your hand.
I lol’d at the thought of Brian punching a mouse. And I enjoyed reading the random life updates 😘
And like Casey said- your admissions of failings (no matter how small) make me feel better about mine :)
Allyn, he punched right into the broken lamp pieces so he had all these cuts and blood running down his arm. It was so intense.
Fight or flight. Something kicked in.😂

I love you, dear Casey.
The feeling is mutual. 🩷
There’s a lot about this that I love, especially your little boy holding your hand.
brilliant and hilarious, Lindsey. i can see how you found inspiration in Diane. just look at her! (though i suppose it's Poppy, really. :)
i admire that mouse but am so glad it didn't have time to give birth in its blue nest.
does this mean you didn't have fun at indigo girls? i dont even care - i did!
i'll tell you all my failures anytime.
I love your rambling, Lindsey. Not many writers can do it well, but you are the exception.
This is my very favorite type of post~about the minutiae. Thank you for not giving up and not giving up. xoxoxoxo
