  • Big Brain thought – Women

    I created a post that loosely focused on men. For equality, a post about women would help show that I’m an equal opportunity offender. Like most social constructs, feminism started in a good place. Bear with me. There’s a bit of a history review off the top as a build-up. It started with the right… Read more

  • Big brain thoughts – men

    Today’s big thought is about men. I’m probably going to keep this short. It’s late in the evening, and the idea isn’t fully fleshed out. I also have something in my eye that’s making it water really badly. I’m typing this half blind. Historically, a man knew he was a man when he impregnated a… Read more

    I attribute a lot of my values, personal views, and behaviors to my parents – especially my dad. Or, rather, to the perception I have of my dad. Rather it be said or unsaid, a child will imprint what it seems as it grows. It’s how boundaries are created and can help a child feel… Read more

    I guess I’m okay. I’ve encountered some situations lately that would, in the past, have sent anxiety and panic. These are situations that would have just left me screaming in the truck or the shower. I’ve managed them somewhat gracefully through just really not giving a f*ck. I’ve learned that I have been considered legally… Read more

    Prompt:V-Day weekend. Went to Olli’s and the boyfriend bought some Ollipops.Amazing deal, by the way. $3.49 plus 15% off.Typically, they’re about $8 per four. Sure, they expire in a couple of months, but it’s cherry. He’ll drink them. Felt a bit guilty and relieved that we didn’t run off to a mall. Although going to… Read more

    A lot of my life and past is structured around trash. Okay. Here me out. This post is probably going to be disjointed. But keep the idea of ‘trash’ – as in reuse – items primarily – in mind. When I was small, it was beaten into my head that a person’s home is a… Read more

    I’m kind of in a grumpy mood. It’s cold, and according to the crystal ball of the meteorologists, it’s going to get colder. The oxygen casket sessions have been interrupted. I’m itchy scratchy as heck. The wounds on the back burn. It’s highly uncomfortable. Jason, who was kinda romantic and sweet, turned sour yesterday –… Read more

    This is probably going to be a rambling post. My brain is a bit scattered, and I’m trying to stay busy while waiting for when to leave for the oxygen casket. For the precious month of December and maybe a week of January, Jason has reduced work. My class is usually on break. It’s cold… Read more

    Well, I had my second session with the oxygen casket. I know it’s not a casket. It’s more of a plexiglass tube on a fairly uncomfortable gurney for about two hours. The Wound Care got new caskets, and I was the guinea pig. It looked just like the old one, although the cover was different.… 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
