Linger in a pleasing dream? Why not?

September 12, 2010 by D. A. Wolf 8 Comments

When you’re a challenged sleeper, even 30 more minutes of sleep can make the difference between an energized day and a long, difficult one. And when you love to dream, the idea that you could extend and linger in your cunningly conspiratorial unconscious is delicious, isn’t it? Yesterday I came across a Woman’s Day article […]

The Forest for the Trees

September 9, 2010 by D. A. Wolf 17 Comments

We were pressed for time. Again. While my son finished dressing and filling his backpack, I put a plate of fried eggs and toast on the table. Orange juice next to it. I paced a little. I hate running late. He swallowed down breakfast and gulped the juice, grabbed his things, asked for the car […]

The life behind the face

August 26, 2010 by D. A. Wolf 20 Comments

I am the face of the aftermath of divorce, the aftermath of layoff, the aftermath of defeat. I am the face of invisible illness, of piercing isolation, of daily hide-and-seek. Would you know me if you saw me? I am your neighbor, your colleague, your sister; I am the woman who yells at the cashier […]

Mall Walking

August 24, 2010 by D. A. Wolf 16 Comments

When I was younger, easy fitness options were abundant. I was strong and vibrant, and health clubs were affordable. There were 5-mile hikes for pleasure, and there was disco! Not that I took advantage of dancing for fitness and enjoyment as much as I would have liked. Work was always pressing, and time, in short […]

Looking forward

July 14, 2010 by D. A. Wolf 15 Comments

I am looking forward to having food in my fridge and a filled pantry. It’s been nine days since I last shopped; I’m down to one Lean Cuisine, one frozen pork chop, four microwaveable soups, and two yogurts long past their expiration dates. I am not looking forward to visiting the supermarket this morning. It […]

The Travel Twin

June 25, 2010 by D. A. Wolf 11 Comments

I really don’t have an evil twin. It just feels like it some days. And then there’s this: I think an evil twin would come in handy. Of course, I would endow her with a complex persona, not just character flaws and secret longings. She’d be my polished pinch-hitter (for whatever I dislike), my cocky […]

The one-two punch. She’s down! She’s up! She’s down! Do we call the bout?

April 28, 2010 by D. A. Wolf 13 Comments

Rough week. Of course, you know that, and I managed to get by with a little help from my friends. But it’s enough already! Okay. Apparently not. I was down. I was up! And then I was down again. Sucker punch. Yesterday, not even 24 hours after the last technology disaster, some nasty Trojan decimated […]
