e.darbyLeave a comment

I just couldn’t find much on how to process these randomised bouts of grief and depression, especially when they hit during the morning, on my way into work. It’s not that I couldn’t go home, I absolutely can, no questions asked, but will going home to an empty house make me feel better…or worse? Three… Continue reading Trigger Warning – 10 years later

With the holidays fast approaching, I figure I better brush up on my cooking skills. I'll admit, beginning a new job, studying for my Public Policy class, and all the fun of keeping up with local and national government news (constantly thinking it couldn't possibly get any more ridiculous... then it does), I mainly defer… Continue reading trente-quatrième anniversaire

la réflexion

Was very excited to be back in Sonoma County, even for the day. The husband and I decided, with forthcoming large events already planned, that our first wedding anniversary would be spent in the wee town of Sebastopol, for their Annual Gravenstein Apple Fair. Bay Area funk band Con Brio was such an inspiration amid… Continue reading la réflexion

This Vogue article almost perfectly sums up several of my fears when it comes to motherhood. I’ve touched on it briefly  but now that we’re a little older and financially sound, the posibility of having or considering having a kid looms closer each day. I say it like I wouldn’t welcome it but we both absolutaly would. It’s…… Continue reading fête des mères ’17
