Woke up to the new fuel tanks being put in by Stewart’s, it’s been noisy, dirty, and had been a long weekend, but the guys were moving along. I was worried about breathing this all in and was having a lot of heartburn, so bad I had been throwing up the other night all night…
Carrying Baggage
Carrying around my two heavy suitcases was like carrying around all the pain I thought I had closure with, but all these wounds are being ripped open once again as I struggle with the awareness of all the new lies and violence I have to deal with and come to terms with once more. I…
Tangled Webs
It was cold and rainy this morning, I didn’t sleep all that well and was wet from the rain and wind hitting the porch making everything damp and cold. The pounding and digging from the new gas pumps being put in by the new Stewarts woke me early and I knew it was better to…
Sexual Harassment By Sheriffs
“You can fuck all my deputies,” laughing he said after getting nasty. No one will bother you there then. He was referring up to our Lakehouse. He was asking me out, but then he got more and more sexually aggressive when I thanked him at first for asking me out, but then he started in…
Down By The River

Fighting And Thrown Out Of Bars
“I’m going to kill you,” he said. I stood outside Armory Grill and wondered why everything seemed hazy, I didn’t feel right and only had one drink there, but it was liquor and I didn’t really like liquor. I had a few Beers before I went there, but I felt strange. I came to the…
Enablers
It rained all night, I didn’t sleep too bad though. I was grateful for the porch roof at the abandoned house I was still sleeping at. I was regularly watching sweeps being done on homeless communities in NY and across the country. The despicable way the homeless were being treated and criminalized I was learning…
Arrested Out Of The Lakehouse Memorial Day Weekend
“Ma’am, you’re going to have to vacate the property,” the officer said. Bentley and I had just headed down to the lake to wash up. I felt bad he had not yet been in the water. My other two dogs had played at the lake, but he hadn’t been able to. This was going to…
Peacefully Protesting
I stumbled down the street, scared, tired, and dirty trying to find out what happened to my suitcase, the last of the few items I had from my 20yr marriage—2 suitcases that consisted of basically some clothes, a few new brick-brack items I purchased in Maine and my old Macbook Pro. I had just bought…
