  • Bread Crumbs

    Bread Crumbs

    I feel like this one will be a decent extension (expansion?) of my previous post – “It’s the Little Things“… we shall see. Today, we venture into the world of “Bids for Connection” – which, if I’m not mistaken, was created by Dr. John and Julie Gottman (and for the record, Dr. John looks a…

  • I Dub Thee…

    I Dub Thee…

    Madam Barnacle. 😛 Just kidding. This is my current nickname from The Boyfriend, actually. We had watched a YouTube video of a guy describing how to know a woman loves you… he described 2 things: one of them being that she bites – not for real, just does a nom on your arm or otherwise.…

  • Social Security Sucks

    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…

  • If You Wanted to, You Would

    If You Wanted to, You Would

    Happy 1st Year Anniversary to myself and The Boyfriend, I guess. I hand-made him a card earlier this week and ordered something for a gift (it arrives tomorrow, unfortunately). We’d previously discussed doing something yesterday to celebrate our anniversary, given that TODAY (our actual anniversary) he would be at work ALL day (5:30a to 6:30p).…

  • The Last Day

    The Last Day

    Booooy, has it been a YEAR – tomorrow being my and The Boyfriend’s 1st year Anniversary. If you’ve read my previous entries, there’s some “subtle” (lol) hints that it hasn’t been all rainbow farts and craft herpes (glitter). Not to say that I haven’t enjoyed some of our relationship, of course. He makes me laugh…

  • The First Step

    The First Step

    The Journey of a Thousand Miles Begins with One Step – Lao Tzu The Brother has taken his first step in healing and made the move to Colorado – and away from The Plague. Unfortunately, his wife stayed in Arkansas, having moved out a week prior and gotten her own place. I don’t blame her,…

  • Anger Gets a Bad Rap

    Anger Gets a Bad Rap

    Heh. I’m dovetailing from the end of yesterday’s entry. But seriously, anger really does get a monumentally “bad rap”: So Sayeth Google AI: A “bad rap” means an undeserved or unjust reputation, often for something negative. It implies that the person or thing is unfairly criticized or perceived negatively, sometimes without proper justification.  Here’s a more detailed…

  • Patience is…

    Patience is…

    Exhausting. Frustrating. Disappointing. Unfulfilling. “Patience is a virtue” – William Langland circa 1360 (poem: Piers Plowman) Patience is considered a virtue because it allows individuals to endure difficulties, delays, or challenges without becoming anxious or reactive. It fosters inner strength, sound judgment, and better decision-making, ultimately leading to greater success and well-being. (so says Google AI) Yep. I…

  • Impossible Tasks

    Impossible Tasks

    There are too many articles out there that cover this, so I don’t plan to link anything specific (this time). The Boyfriend did make a valid observation recently, though – that I probably need to start citing the resources where I get some of my material, just in case. Buuuuuut… most of it is just…

  • The Spoon Theory

    The Spoon Theory

    Aight, where my fellow Spoonies at?! 😛 The Spoon Theory written by Christine Miserandino is a good one, folks. It’s been around for a long while now and made the rounds, but… totally worth going over again – or at all, if you haven’t already heard about or read it. I’ll quote Ms. Miserandino and…

  • Braaaains…

    Braaaains…

    In the interest of continuing to make this blog a “morning routine” – todays is gonna be a fairly short one (hopefully?!) and I want to share a couple of images that I have on my desktop… cuz I’m funny and weird. Weirdly funny?! 😛 As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, I am a whore…

  • I’m a Xennial

    I’m a Xennial

    Of course I remember life before the internet. I was born in 1982 and adhere very strongly to being both Gen-X and a Millennial – as my title says, a “Xennial.” So yeah. I’m old. I remember playing outside all the time: enacting whatever fantasies my brain could think up, swimming in clear creeks and…
