    Finally Back Home

    Welp… it’s 4-something in the morning, because “Fall Back” Daylight Saving Time (anyone else call it “savings”?!) Shenanigans, and here I am doing a catch-up on my bloggening, after having spent a week and a half in Arkansas. I tried to do it while I was gone, but only managed a couple days of that…

  • Arkansas – Day 2

    Arkansas – Day 2

    Yesterday was a day of rest. Not much was done except lazing around and napping. I worked on the Couples Commitment Contract for the Recovery Program, but I struggled pretty hard with it. In past relationships, setting boundaries was met with drastic consequences, like outright rejection or mental/emotional abuse. I wasn’t allowed any kind of…

  • Arkansas – Day 1

    Arkansas – Day 1

    3a.m. alarm goes off. Drag myself out of bed and take an entire 30 minute shower. Get dressed in the cool new outfit I got last night, discover that the over-sized “Stranger Things” shirt has FRIGGIN POCKETS DUDE! And that’s about as good as it got, no lie. The Boyfriend dropped me off around 4a.m.-ish,…

    Ready, Set, GO!

    My trip to visit Arkansas starts tomorrow. Am I packed? Nope. Who actually packs early?! Not this chick. I wait until the very last minute and do a frantic throwing together of all the things and hope I didn’t forget something important. Hehe. (Edit/Side Note: Flight leaves at 6am, which means going to bed SUPER…

  • Moab

    Moab

    On May 1st, 2013, I set off on a solo 2-week bike trip to visit Moab, UT where I was born. Hard to believe that was 12 years ago. At the time, I rode Zuki (2003 Suzuki 800), my second bike. I traveled from my little town in Arkansas to Kansas City, staying with a…

    Day 8

    Welp… The Boyfriend took me to “Anger Management” as part of our date day… hahaha, okay okay… it was a Rage Room. I got to break shit. It was GLORIOUS! A very rare glimpse of the real me, finishing off the old printer we got to brutally destroy… I even stomped it like the guys…

  • Day 6-7

    Day 6-7

    Despite currently doing the Thing, I decided to go ahead with the IFS/EMDR therapy… I mean, it’s telehealth, so why not?! I had to reschedule from Tuesday to Thursday because the Tuesday stuff made it not possible. All the same, it was rough (as usual). Discovering inner parts of myself that have been stuffed away…

  • Day 5

    Day 5

    Are you aware that – sometimes – when a fly lands, it barfs to then suck up more nutrients?! I know there’s more accurate terminology to describe the process, but I don’t feel like finding it lol Ages ago, while riding in the back of Gravity’s mother’s car, I saw a fly land on her…

    Day 3-4

    I. Am. Exhausted. Holy shitballs, lol. TEW MUCH WALKING! The Thing is taxing my body hard-core, y’all. Don’t get me wrong, I’m having a great time. But omfg my body doth protest!!! Totally not dropping any clues in my Featured Pictures. Nope. Nothing of the sort. 😈 I’ll just say that I forgot what humidity…

  • Day 1-2

    Day 1-2

    Well, the Thing has started. I’m feckin exhausted and got a bit frustrated with myself yesterday. I struggled to find a balance between speaking my mind about a thing that upset me (vulnerability – good) and keeping it shut to save peace (stuffing it – bad). Suffice it to say, I did not handle the…
