Monday Mark – 7.5 & 8.0
7.5 – For Last Week’s MM: You’re not afraid of failing. You’re afraid of being seen failing. Most people aren’t paying attention to what you’re doing, and your loudest critics are probably too scared to try. What are you so worried about? While I was growing up, failure (as seen by my father – “The Plague”) was…

Monday Mark – 6.5 & 7.0
6.5 – For Last Week’s MM: The best investments are the things no one can take away from you: knowledge, experience, mindset, attitude. The weakest investments are the things that you can lose at any time: status, emotions, material things. Have you been investing in the right things? Why or why not? Reflecting on this……

Thank you, Brain!
Last night, I stayed up far too late playing Valheim and had difficulties falling asleep, thinking about what to write for my blog this morning. Then, for reasons beyond my comprehension, I fell asleep thinking that I didn’t need to worry about it (though I DO have a fantastic topic) because it would be Monday…

Love/Hate
Thank you TonysBologna: “How to Write More” – for inspiring me to get off my ass and just write. I was legitimately on my ass on the couch scrolling on my phone… and ya called me out (damnit 😝)! Also, visit the site where I got the featured picture from, because holy shit that’s some…

Painful Sleep
This bout with the meds and shit really screwed things up for me. Not shocking, it DOES happen, but fuck me is it frustrating. I hate it. Trying to find medicine to help me with pain (or “happiness”) is like finding needle in a haystack. And? Even if it works, the side effects are unbearable…

Monday Mark – 1.0
I get a weekly subscription email from Mark Manson (<—link to his site) called “Your Next Breakthrough.” I haven’t participated in the prompts, but I would like to. They ARE thought-provoking, after all. And thus, I think I’ll start a weekly “Monday Mark” where I do just that. I’ll copy/paste what the weekly prompt is,…

What Dat Blog Do?!
My blog – originally – was intended to be a daily journal for myself, something I could turn into a habit and commit to, since journaling has been the bane of my existence (yet another one of those, lol) since I was young. However, I’ve shared it with others… not just the public, but therapists…

The Past Meets the Present
Fair warning, this one is going to be REALLY long. I was perusing my old “journal” notes in my phone from way back when I was with The Dementor… starting around 2020. It’s fucking ironic that the similarities between what I felt and wrote about back then are almost an exact mirror of the shit…

“Well… Life Isn’t Fair”
I really [fucking] hate that sentiment. Like… it elicits a deep, visceral rage inside my guts when I hear it. And I’ve even used the damn phrase. Doesn’t make it any less condescending and dismissive, though. And yeah, life ISN’T fucking fair, but who gives a shit?! Sometimes, whatever thing we’re going through sucks major…

Gravity – Special Edition
Dis bish. In my first “Gravity” post, I went on quite the rant. I shared very few examples of the bullshit I went through as his wife and subsequently his ex-wife. I barely scratched the surface of the horrible shit he’s put me through, especially after the divorce and the parameters of our shared custody…

Social Security Sucks
No lie… I seriously HATE dealing with Social Security, and I’ve had to do so most of The Son’s life, because autism/disability. I’m NOT looking forward to having to deal with them when (if?!) my Disability finally goes through. Long story short… I just got a huge packet in the mail this past Friday with…
