    It’s been tough. Actually, it’s been scary tough – especially over the past couple of days. Yesterday, I went to the doctor with my sister for her appointment. While she didn’t allow me to go back there, I got the gist of it and am highly concerned about what I was told. Not only the Read more

    Much like Tuesday, this day started dark. I’ve slept too much. Over the past day, I’ve eaten too much. I haven’t done enough. I’ve wasted too much time on things that don’t matter and not enough on things that do. But, I’m trying. Despite the overeating… or perceived over eating… yesterday was pretty good. I Read more

    Yesterday…. Yesterday should have been awesome. I was out with two of my best friends – my mom and little sister. We were all getting facials and my mom a massage from a pricy place downtown. – Jason won a voucher from a wellness fair and that paid for mom’s services. The little sister was Read more

    I hate this. Class ends on the 17th and I’m just sitting here refreshing the pages, waiting for assignments to come in so I can jump on them. I’m over this term, sick of the students, and done with the hand-holding. But if I don’t stay on top of the crap that they submit, it’ll Read more

    Jason has finished Final Fantasy Rebirth… or Remake. Whatever the second one is. He didn’t max out everything but spent over 100 hours of playtime on it. He or whoever bought the game for him certainly got their money’s worth. Jason has moved on to Hades 2. While it’s not officially released, the game was Read more

    I feel that I survived Mother’s Day fairly unscathed. That holiday is a duel-edged dagger. When it comes to motherhood, I feel an intense guilt and lack of fulfillment as I can never be a biological mother. Cancer and, probably, anorexia stole that from me. But I also feel shame as I feel that I’m Read more

    Just checking in, really. Trying to get back into the habit of blogging. Couple of news and notes. — Three more sessions at the Charis Center. I’m entering my eighth week which is the final week unless they recommend an additional three. If they do, I’m not 100% sure I’ll continue. There would probably be Read more

    February was messed up. I think I was more in a hospital via St Francis and Methodist than out. If I don’t consider the month change, I had definitely been in a hospital than out over the past 30 days. I don’t think I ever had that situation, including the spinal fusion. Roughly a week Read more

  • Oops! Let me Band-Aid that

    If you’re around me long enough, you’ll figure out that I pin a lot of stuff on culture – particularly how men and women are treated, raised, and referred to.  I know society isn’t to blame for all of our ills, it is a significant contributing factor that’s slow to change. Let’s start with some Read more
