The Anti-Goal and Other Fabulous Things

Last week I finally finished the Viking’s wonky blanket. It felt wonderful to actually complete something. It felt even more wonderful when I realized he probably really liked it. Random side note: I found these pictures on my phone while I was dealing with the blanket photo. I think they are kind of awesome.   …

Then My Dog Called Me an Asshole with Her Face

Okay, it might have been almost a month since I wrote a blog last. I have a really good excuse. Mostly my life went insane again. There were hospital stays (not mine), near death experiences (not mine), and small nervous breakdowns (that one is mine.) Everything is fine now, mostly, but it was pretty bad. …

My Body

I want to right something super deep and profound. I’m too tired for that, so you cats are get honest. I’m fucking exhausted. The past three days have been comedies in errors.

I’m Using the Powers of My Birthday for a New Rule.

I believe with everything I am most people have far more things that are wonderful about them than flaws. We just focus on our own flaws than we do our good things. Fuck that noise.

I’ll Get Some Rest in February

Five days until my mom gets one of her knees replaced.  Let me say this before I begin: these surgeries (she is getting the other one replaced after Christmas) will change her life.

I decided to try something new for my depression and anxiety. Medicine changes are ALWAYS full of fun, and I’m still kind of …

A flower

Today is a big mess of a day for a lot of people. I said my bit on Facebook and I don’t really intend to say it again here. I will leave it at this: my heart goes out to all the families effected by our government being a bunch of twatty toddlers. They are …

I’m Not Psychotic… I was Tested.

I’ve been trying to decide how much of this wacky world of attempting to get my shit together I wanted to share with y’all. People around me freak out a little when I mention writing about something too private. There are some legitimate concerns like what future employers might find. Other concerns make me giggle …

Hit by a Bus, but in a Good Way

So, I’ve done three nights of water aerobics in a row. Next week I’m going to try to do all four. I wake up in the mornings feeling like I got hit by a bus, but in a good way. Okay, it doesn’t feel like a good way, but I still enjoy it. I never …
