Networking with Friends
After getting the Mac n Cheese done and last minute preparations yesterday, the birthday party started with our first couple of guests showing up at the intended time. After that, people trickled in for a couple hours. J and A (two very cool dudes) came in last, but not least. It was really great getting…

Beautiful Day for a Party!
The Boyfriend and I went to bed much later than we wanted, because Valheim. We also got up much earlier than we wanted, because Walkies. LOL Featured pic is our back yard, which got brutally hacked and cleaned up by our friends last weekend, as a bday gift to the BF. Yay! We did get…

Connection
This morning after Walkies, I got in the shower. The Boyfriend had expressed joining me. At one point, he came in to the bathroom like he was about to do so, then left. As time went on and I did my thing, he didn’t come back. When I was finishing up, I called out and…

The Distance
I was going to title this “All Alone” and then the ADHD kicked in aaaaand… this song popped into my head (you know how it is, you think or hear a set of words and BAM)… I was today years old when I watched the official video for the first time. It makes me feel…

I Miss My Old Sleep
Four score and seven years ago… or some time in 2021… I slept well. Granted, I slept a lot, it was very difficult to wake me, and I was a grumpy bish upon waking, buuuuut… omg did I sleep hard and have better energy. Then, I started taking Gabapentin (for nerve issues). I believe I…

Monday Mark – 3.5 & 4.0
3.5 – For Last Week’s MM: Ah, yes. The subject of “pain.” One I know all too well, unfortunately. Mark IS right: pain is inevitable; suffering is optional. In other words, pain will happen, it’s a matter of course for literally just existing. But suffering? Well… as hard as it is to admit and hear, it…

My Precious
I don’t have much to talk about today, but the featured pic? My new set of acrylic marker pen thingies… I spent an hour labeling them with the included numbers, coloring the corresponding box on the card, and putting them all back in the way I wanted… because HYPERFIXATION! So yeah… I’m a whore for…

The “Onus” on Women
I read something so profound this morning that I just… blinked in shock and awe… First, the featured pic is an original I took 12-ish years ago when I visited Costa Rica. The flower is in Cahuita, Limón. I do not remember what it is called, it was just so gorgeous I could not pass…

“Should”
So Sayeth the Google AI Mode (tried a new version): The word “should” is not inherently “bad” in the sense of being a swear word, but it is often viewed as harmful or counterproductive in psychology, communication, and personal development. The word can create a cycle of shame, guilt, and unrealistic expectations for oneself and others. …

Avoidant Personality Disorder
So… along with The Boyfriend’s individual therapist’s initial suspicions, my opinion is that he has Avoidant Personality Disorder. I have suspected this for some time, mostly because I like to do research on things and learn the how and why of behaviors and whatnot. I am an Anxious Attachment Disorder type (though not diagnosed officially).…
