You may not know this about me, but at one time I was a witch. Well, I wouldn’t label myself that. More like a Wiccian. Or, specifically, a nature observer… ? Analysist…. ? I looked for patterns and symbols. In doing so, I strived to be objective, rational, and reject the pre-assigned meanings. Humanity is Read more

Today…. today is an odd day. Actually, it’s been an odd week. Month. Right now, Cammeron from Comfort Heating, Plumbing, and Air is here for a PM check. Although the plumbing is just three years old, we had a lot of problems at the start. The special of $40 seems more than fair. I’m also Read more

Today has been difficult. I guess it’s to be expected. I’ve had a couple of precious months where I almost felt stable. Good, bad, or ugly, I didn’t break down. Last night I started to feel mentally wobbly and almost lost it over trash of all things. This morning, I started out okay, but I Read more

I’m apprehensive about the SNAP thing. It doesn’t affect me. I’m not on SNAP, but given my history, I know food access shouldn’t be denied. It can be limited, difficult, have self-imposed boundaries, or medical restrictions. But denied? No more food stamps? It’s not just that. Americans have little to no, generally speaking, financial comprehension. Read more

I feel like I messed up. Jason found this article from someone who claimed that 70% or higher dark chocolate (non-alkaline aka. – not Dutch chocolate) has a wealth of benefits. It has flavonoids, magnesium, anti-oxidants… ect. After a bit of quick research, we bought a bar of Tony’s from the local Wal-Mart. That evening, Read more

I learned a little tidbit of information yesterday. Do you know those Coke Freestyle machines?The ones that allow you to add whatever base and syrup you want to your paper cup? There’s the freedom to come up with flavor combinations that can’t be found on the open market. So, you could have Dr. Pepper Orange Read more

I hate catch phrases that relate to excuses. “This is the way it has to be” for example. No, that’s not the way it has to be, That’s a lazy man’s excuse. “It is what it is” is another bs line. Nothing is what it is. It’s what we perceive it to be, not what Read more

This feels like a long week. There’s been Charlie Kirk’s ongoing saga. I keep seeing the same themes that played out over George Floyd. Anyone who spoke against the narrative were deemed a social outcast – or worse. He became a symbol that sold t-shirts, cheap China crap, and became symbolic of a national ideological Read more

It’s disheartening. Over the past couple of days, America has some rapid fire situations. I use the word situations loosely as I’m not sure how to describe them. First, there was the delayed story of the Ukranian refugee, Iryna Zarutska. The violence occurred on August 22 but wasn’t widely reported on until last week, nearly Read more

I’m between classes right now. Despite not having a paycheck coming in, I’m feeling rather relieved. The last couple of weeks of the semester were a bit of a wreck for me. I was fairly paranoid since it was such a large class – about thirty students. That’s about eight to ten more students than Read more
