The other day I decided to go back in time. I've been trying for years to remember when I met my husband. Typically I'm great with dates, anniversaries; this should've been an easy one for me to recall since it was the first day of a brand new job. But January 2001 was a dark, …

Okay, so it almost isn't Thursday any longer. Type fast, KC! I'm back, and I'm here to stay. November got real bad and busy, real fast, right after that last post. December ended well but started terribly. January has been a more stable month, for the first time in a long time. I'm starting to …
Sometimes, only a Stevie Nicks lyric can sum things up. On Friday the 13th last week, I left my job. I had been there for 5 and a half years; longer than any other job I've ever held. I worked for one of Canada's major banks, and it was the best-paying job I've ever had. …

The long, long month of non-stop work stress (and work in general: I've been working 6 days a week to meet my goals) has finally given way to my long awaited week of holidays, beginning yesterday with my 35th birthday! For which I got...a wicked cold. Sigh. Hopefully that will subside soon, because we had …
I hate missing posting days! Messes me up, as I have lots of stories to tell and I love telling them here. However on Thursday, I had something else to write. My resume. Without going into too much detail, immediately following my dad's accident, I was put on a performance plan at work. It ends …
My world is upside down right now. So this morning I chose to put on a T-shirt that would remind me of my happy place. It also has ties to how I became a coyote. About 3 hours south of me is a gorgeous casino resort called Casino Rama. It's been the site of many, …
I don't mind waiting. I'm not a patient person. I polished off my bucket list last year at age 33 because I've spent the last 20 years just plowing ahead with whatever plan my heart latched onto. But I've spent a ton of time just sitting around, waiting for something to happen. Waiting for a …

Is that a thing? I mentioned at the end of the last post that it was a hard one to remember. It was a hard one to write, and it sent me down a mental rabbit hole that preoccupied me for days with things I really can't talk about because they'd make my identity really …
The other day, an account I follow on Twitter, @beachboyslegacy, asked followers to post pictures if we had ever been to the legendary (in Beach Boys fan circles) Paradise Cove near Los Angeles. This is where the Beach Boys' album cover for Surfin' Safari was shot, which was their very first album way back in …
Just a short post today... It's a very important day here at the Coyote household. It's our first wedding anniversary today! Mr Coyote and I have been together since 2009, and known each other since 2001. But one year ago today, we made it official. At this time last year, we would've been dancing the …
