Nowhere Pam

My household is streaming chaos and I’m Nowhere Pam chasing my tail, wondering what condition my condition is in.

I just returned from a family reunion. It’s the most time we’ve spent together in 50 years and it was cathartic.

You might think a woman like me would be well past the silliness of hiding things in her bra. But not so much.

I don’t need to prove my feminist bona fides. Gender is a trap I’m side-stepping. I love him just the way he is.

I sit and sit and write and write. Then it happens. The big catastrophe. I read what I’ve written. And it sucks. So, how’s your day going?

Have a listen to my interview with Dr. Bruce Chalmers and Judy Alexander on their podcast, Couples Therapy in Seven Words.

There was only one path to this moment and it’s the path I took. That’s my big birthday revelation. Aging has a sweet spot, and I’m there.
