The Klonopin Chronicles: 500 Words, Day 22 - Hashtag Heaven
http://theklonopinchronicles.blogspot.com/2015/06/500-words-day-22-hashtag-heaven.html
Wednesday, June 10, 2015. 500 Words, Day 22 - Hashtag Heaven. The bad news: Anne Lamott fucked up today. The good news: I have rediscovered Twitter. Again. The bad news: I’m out of popcorn. The good news: I’m on Atkins so no carbs. My love for and obsession with social media is ironic. I saw the Anne Lamott debacle unfolding and my thought was, “Oh good, 500 words will write themselves tonight.” It’s like a snow day for blogging. Does it really matter what the flap is about? Shit like this go down. My mi...

http://theklonopinchronicles.blogspot.com/2015/06/500-words-day-18-round-and-round-and.html
Saturday, June 6, 2015. 500 Words, Day 18 - Round and Round and Round We Spin. Your daughter is bringing her feral, drug-dealing boyfriend home to sleep with him in your house. Do something! She mentally pounded him with her fists. And he would tell her to do something herself, if she felt so strongly about it. She left him to clean up the filthy mess she had allowed him to make. And came back to clean it up when she saw that he would not. Posted by Mina Klonopina. June 6, 2015 at 11:30 AM. 500 Words, Da...

The Klonopin Chronicles: 500 Words, Day 23 -- The Twitter
http://theklonopinchronicles.blogspot.com/2015/06/500-words-day-23-twitter.html
Thursday, June 11, 2015. 500 Words, Day 23 - The Twitter. So I’m taking another stab at The Twitter. (Follow me! Well, no, there’s no exclamation point, it’s just @KlonnieChron with no punctuation or anything. A Twitter handle, that’s what it’s called right? I’ll buy it. Same thing with Twitter. Neil Patrick Harris? Fuck and yes. Boom, following. What do you mean, it’s not really Neil Patrick Harris? That’s his photo. RIGHT THERE. #what. But even weirder is 900 people follow me. How did THAT happen?

The Klonopin Chronicles: 500 Words, Day 21 - Kitchen Work

Wednesday, June 10, 2015. 500 Words, Day 21 - Kitchen Work. As she moves around the kitchen, she feels the inevitable tears welling, and she stops to consider this, to pay attention. What is happening right now that is prompting this sad, familiar overwhelm? Everything in general, nothing in particular. But no, stand still, notice. What is this really about, this time? Posted by Mina Klonopina. June 10, 2015 at 7:11 AM. June 10, 2015 at 9:35 PM. December 21, 2015 at 4:41 AM. All About Me: Yes. It....

The Klonopin Chronicles: #TextsFromMom
http://theklonopinchronicles.blogspot.com/2015/05/textsfrommom.html
Saturday, May 9, 2015. Yeah I should probably stay off the internet this weekend. What will my kids say about me, as adults, on Mother's Day, when they look back? Will my daughters think of our relationship as the tightest bond they've ever known? Or will I be the bane of the stories they will tell? Oh my god my mother. Horrible, mean, angry, hypocritical, manipulative. She made Dad miserable. She ruined our lives. Who waits for a child to start behaving like an adult? The child in question is 22 years o...

the nitty gritty mommy: Birthday
http://thenittygrittymommy.blogspot.com/2012/09/birthday.html
The nitty gritty mommy. My life as a mom of three preschoolers. Funny, sweet and full of chaos. Friday, September 7, 2012. Today we celebrate my twins' fifth birthday. It is full of conflicting emotions. The day they were born came after months of uncertainty and anxiety, laying in a hospital bed feeling like I was losing a battle at keeping them safe, keeping them alive. Posted by nitty gritty mommy. The Brady Bunch on Crack. September 7, 2012 at 8:18 AM. Happy Birthday to your boys! It must be amazing ...

The Klonopin Chronicles: May 2015
http://theklonopinchronicles.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 31, 2015. 500 Words, Day 12: Did That Really Just Happen? Why no, unctuous hostess seating people for the breakfast buffet, as a matter of fact I would NOT like you to “double check” whether I’m entitled for the senior discount. Ugh. That was a sock in the gut that was still making it difficult to swallow my coffee when it arrived a few minutes later. What is wrong with people? Or a blackjack bet (double down! Or a pack of the cigarettes everyone smokes around here (inside! 52, you say? Nope ...

The Klonopin Chronicles: 500 Words, Day 25 -- Coming Down
http://theklonopinchronicles.blogspot.com/2015/06/500-words-day-25-coming-down.html
Saturday, June 13, 2015. 500 Words, Day 25 - Coming Down. I pick up one of these drafts, do a word count, write an intro, boom, 500 words. Done. Crisis mode. Except you can’t be in crisis mode all the time. You have to ease up at some point. I think that might be where all the sadness is coming from these days. Summer doldrums. Time to reflect. Can be a double-edged sword, you know? My body is trying to tell me something. Done 500 words can kiss my ass. Let’s go to the movies. Thanks! Klonopin is mild an...

The Klonopin Chronicles: 500 Words, Day 20 -- The List
http://theklonopinchronicles.blogspot.com/2015/06/500-words-day-20-list.html
Monday, June 8, 2015. 500 Words, Day 20 - The List. With 1:16 to go, I guess I should get started on my essay for today, huh. It should be obvious that weekdays are my most difficult days for the experiment. I do have huge blocks of time at work where, if I were a different sort of person, I’d fritter away on my blog and other internet interactions. Which means no one loves me, not even the New York Times. How many people can say that? Shut him out of our son’s life. Run mile in 9:00. Khan academy for pr...
