  • Anger

    Anger

    I wished I’d learned – when I vowed to never be like my father – that Anger itself isn’t “bad” – it’s how you use it… since I’ve written about this already, feel free to peruse my thoughts on it. 🙂 And thank you in advance for reading!

  • Me Too

    Me Too

    DISCLAIMER: Please be advised that I am not going to “soften” words and use things like “grape” or “SA.” This post includes talks of psychological manipulation/coercion, rape, sexual trauma, etc. I don’t have any designs to “bring back” the movement that hit with #metoo nor do I have the knowledge about whether it’s even still…

    Monday Mark – 4.5 & 5.0

    4.5 – For Last Week’s MM: “How you talk to yourself defines your Self. Be careful what you say.” Boy… this one was/is a toughie. I find myself talking negatively to myself quite often, so it was really difficult to attempt to reframe that – especially in the moment. I also didn’t encounter very many situations…

  • Networking with Friends

    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!

    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…

  • Happy Birthday!

    Happy Birthday!

    It is officially The Boyfriend’s birthday, yaaaay! I also started my period. Sorry, not sorry… such is life 😅 I’m going back to bed.

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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…
