Since coming to Florida, I’m guessing that I’ve walked between five and 13-ish miles a day, save the one day that it was raining and a couple of days I stayed in to catch up on work. – My mileage may vary, as I still can’t find the wire to charge the Fitbit, but today’s Read more

Again, I was back at the gym. Instead of talking to a stranger, I was talking to an older woman. I think her name was Janet (Janice?) She’s short with white hair. Great personality and a booming voice that’s fit for a retired kindergarten teacher… which is what she is. I think she told me Read more

Lately, there’s been a lot of hype over the new Black Panther movie. Schools are taking classes to see it. From what I’ve been told, pre-order tickets are as precious as adamantium. It’s already on track to blow the recent beat up the recent Thor movie at the box office. All that’s great. More power Read more

I stay in correspondence with one of my House sisters from last year. She was with partially with me during my three month intensive stay and I like to think that we’ve grown closer after our ordeal than what we were during. This woman is probably one of the most nice and devout Christians that Read more

When I was in Florida, I missed this season the most — well, second most. Green leaves turn to red, brown, and yellow. The limbs are barren. Corn, once nurtured to be tall and strong, is swept away, much like death taking our own – stalk by stalk. Life by life. During this time of Read more

The maid/mother/crone isn’t new to me. Rather, when I was fascinated with Wiccian, the trio really it home. I found it echoed in Greek and Roman mythology. Of course, it’s present in Catholicism and Christianity. The three can be found in movies, books, and television shows. Video games have entire constructs about the three. First thing that pops into Read more

I was talking to someone yesterday about the lack of contact from my psychiatrist. She provided me with insight that never ever, ever, ever considered. — The person claimed that I felt the psychiatrist abandoned me. She urged me to reach out to the psychiatrist. I was the person who was ‘abandoning.’ I jumped to conclusions Read more

Head Shrinkers is how my dad used to refer to the psychological profession. Or, to be short, just ‘shrinks.’ I’m willing to bet this sounds like a derogatory term for those in the profession. A person doesn’t go through college, internships, and the fear of starting new to be referred as a poor name. I understand Read more
