Embers of relationship smolder during impromptu camping trip

The thing about it is that the ex, we’ll call him B, asked for space but not a breakup. I was the one who decided that putting me on the back burner was not an option. Giving him “space” was a situation where I would be getting all of the restrictions of a relationship but all the loneliness of being alone. B didn’t want to lose me but he knew he was too busy with work and other projects to ... Read more...

Was this reunion with the ex at all healthy? Probably not

I came back to Vegas from Alaska, went to Arizona for a few days and now I’m back in Vegas. The drinking and the anti anxiety meds and the late nights have been too much for me. I need to stop. I’m a mess. When I returned from Arizona on Friday, I went straight to the Tool concert with people from work. After the show, I went to work. I promised myself I’d stop drinking when the night began. It ... Read more...

The trashy walk of shame leads to some quality time with the children

On the 4th of July I missed work. I spent it at a barbecue hosted by the couple with whom I was staying. I spent the previous night drinking all night and made my walk of shame that afternoon right into the house midbarbecue while still in my spidery long eyelashes and bright turquoise eyeliner. I was wearing a purple and blue tie-dyed short cotton dress, black thigh high socks and tall wedge cork shoes that didn’t match at all. ... Read more...

Heading north to Alaska, where the pickin’s for ladies must be pretty slim

Directly from the Anchorage airport, I went to the strip club where I am now working. It’s a two story wooden building that looks like an old western whorehouse. The walls are covered in dingy red and gold wallpaper, discolored from decades of smoke. There is a balcony with a wooden railing surrounding the perimeter of the main room, which is completely open to both stories. Strippers sit up there like guardian angels in bikinis watching the action below. Downstairs ... Read more...
