Woke up with the sun today, knowing I’m headed away from the brackish water. This won’t be my last time in Florida, but I’m glad it’s over for now. 🚘

Today, we secured a life vest for Chewey, so we could kayak… That’s what’s up.

Rolled to a stop on the drive; couldn’t see through the tears. Her death certificate came today.

Ah, Leif…

Decisions, decisions… I-10 or I-40?

I went all the way east, to the Atlantic Ocean today. I sent the poems I wrote about the deaths of my parents into the deep, and played Bird York as the road pulled me westward. Letting go felt pretty peaceful.

I just accepted the contract payout terms on my practice match termination. ☑️ My leased house? Gave notice this morning. ☑️ Pilgrimage plans firming up by the hour… #grateful

Oof.

Watching my kids make the same relationship mistakes I made in real time has me feeling a kind of way… …I didn’t set a very good example of holding boundaries. I blame myself for putting up with sh*t I should have walked away from. I was too afraid, too dependent, too complicit. Heal, babies.🙏🏻

NO.

Two Bama Boys in the first round! That’s 17 straight drafts with 1st round picks… Roll Tide!! #Booker #Campbell

I’ve decided to take a pilgrimage as part of my grieving time. Just me, and the Chewster, on the open road. Plenty of exploration, photos, and lots of writing.

Good. Go… bye!!!!

My mind said “you can do that” but my body said “nah, sit down right now.”

@rynelson.bsky.social are you #RedRocks adjacent?

Wasn’t this also an episode of ‘The Newsroom’?!? How was Aaron Sorkin so damn prescient and why weren’t more people listening?

Every accusation is a confession.

Think I might do a little good trouble today… #NoKingsHere #DictatorDissTrack

I fed myself a full, nourishing meal today. Now, I’m going back to my bed.

Grief update: every time I log in it’s yet another sh*tshow of current events. I need to completely disconnect for a bit. Toe-dips out into the world have gotten me fully out of sorts. Losing my mother and my stepfather within 3 weeks of each other has wrecked me in ways I couldn’t anticipate.

What the actual fkk?!?

The congressional delegation en route to El Salvador has my prayers tonight. And I’m really hoping fiction does not become reality a la the Tom Clancy novel “Clear and Present Danger” … more murders as cover up, y’know? Villains gonna villain, right?

“There is no home, there’s just wherever you live.” —felt this, despite my current shattered state.

The world is too loud, too bright. I cannot go outside. There is no resolution at death. I’ve tried to live life without resignation, truly believing there is always hope. I have no hope. My mother taught me that.

I have not had alcohol. I am not suic*dal. Right now, that’s all I’ve got.

Fuuuuu…
