Brief Intermission

Hey Guys,

Just wanted to apologize to you for being an absentee landlord here on C&Q lately. I’ll be back on track in a week or so. Right now everything’s pretty haywire with my day-to-day, and I’m going just a little nuts. My primary job is fantastic – love every minute of it – but I’m working some long hours lately on a few last-minute projects. That wouldn’t be a huge deal, but I’m also in my last month of grad school, and working on a 50-page paper that’s due this Sunday (OMFG) as well as a very large group project that is also due on Sunday (OMFG x 2). My old boss is still bugging me pretty much daily with a variety of BS, and I’m not doing a good enough job of convincing her that I’m really, totally, 100% not working for her anymore. I’m billing her for every minute she wastes with phone calls, but still, it’s running me a bit ragged. I also started a chorus girl class yesterday, which I’ll tell you about later, and I’m trying to make it to yoga but doing an awful job of it lately. I’ve realized that something’s got to give, so I’m not beating myself up about not exercising until after I’m finished with school in two weeks. All together, life is pretty awesome, just don’t have a spare second to sit down and update you!

Talk soon,

Anna

Hello,

I’m Nova

I have no “personal brand.” I’m not a girl boss, I’m not an influencer, and I don’t aspire to be powerful, inspiring, or rich. I probably can’t teach you anything, and there’s a good chance that there’s nothing at all of interest or use to you here. This is just where I come to talk about the random bits and pieces that make up my quiet life as a sober woman in her 40s. I’m engaged to the love of my life, have six (yes, SIX) indoor pets, and spend a lot of time gardening and hunting for thrift treasures. I also study classical voice (I’m a lyric coloratura soprano) and am deeply interested in all things spiritual and paranormal. Right now I’m trying to recover from career burnout and even out my personal energy, but my eventual goal is to become a medium and shamanic healer, using music to remind humans of the things that actually matter: connection, community, and loving all living things as though they were our own children. I may or may not talk about all of these things here (and sometimes all at once). Welcome!
