#MeToo… And

October 17, 2017 Erin M. Bank

For as many women posted something with the hashtag #metoo, and for those who didn’t, there are as many emotions and opinions about the effort and what it means. I realize that many men can also share a #metoo story, but I’m not a man and this is about my reactions as a woman. So,… Continue reading #MeToo… And

Nail-biter

May 19, 2017 Erin M. Bank

I opened a document and then started inspecting my nails. I’ve never had great fingernails. I bit them as a kid… and as an adult. I no longer chew them down to the nubs. But I catch myself biting them when I’m nervous, when I’m bored, when I’m both. Or even if I don’t take… Continue reading Nail-biter

Saturday night’s all right

May 13, 2017 Erin M. Bank

After a lot of sleep and an unscheduled day, I'm feeling more like myself. It occurred to me on my easy run today that my engrained tendency to just grit my teeth and bear it (regardless of what "it" is) extends to my reluctance to shape my days in a way that will be best… Continue reading Saturday night’s all right

Sick

May 12, 2017 Erin M. Bank

I stayed home sick today. I hate feeling bad enough to not go about my normal day but then also bad about myself for being lazy all day. But tommorow's a new day.

Sunday Funday

May 7, 2017 Erin M. Bank

Blank screen. Blank mind. After an afternoon in the sun with champagne, followed by a late-afternoon nap, it was all I could do to boil water for the quinoa that will go into my lunch for this week. Thankfully, J cooked dinner and is doing all the hard work of deciding what we’re watching on… Continue reading Sunday Funday

Friday night observations

May 5, 2017 Erin M. Bank

I’m meeting girlfriends for dinner in 20 minutes, but I’m sitting at the restaurant bar early, glass of white wine by my side and laptop open in front of me. Although I’m staring at the same computer screen I have all day, the change of scenery makes transitioning to writing for fun much more pleasant.… Continue reading Friday night observations

Ten minutes

May 4, 2017 Erin M. Bank

It’s late. I’m tired. But I have this daily task to complete. It’s one of those nights when it feels like a “have to” rather than a “want to.” But as soon as the words start flowing I don’t regret stalling the bedtime routine ten little minutes. It’s late. I’m tired. This has been a… Continue reading Ten minutes

Not sharing

May 2, 2017May 2, 2017 Erin M. Bank

I wrote on the plane coming home. In my journal. So I'm not sharing. I think I need to keep doing that now and then. I still need the private sections of my brain. Plus, five hours of sleep + all-day travel = fried brain.
