Hey there!
This stream of consciousness is intended to be an unfiltered account of my journey to fight my way to a healthier, happier life. One day at a time, one step at a time, one organically-grown-emotionally-raw blog post at a time…

2023-12-27 A Middle Place
It’s two days after Christmas and I’m thinking about 2024. I’m also thinking about this past year. I’m in that middle place where I’d like to begin formulating my list of goals for 2024, but kinda still musing about how this past year went. I’d like to say I’m gonna kick ass in the new…

2023-12-23 The Antidote
About a week ago I posted about all the things that get my ire up. It wasn’t necessarily a grumpy post but I can see where someone might find it particularly glass-is-half-empty. Since then I’ve been thinking, which is a prickly business but very human of me. There have been several events that have transpired…

2023-12-17 This One IS About Sandwiches 🥪
The word of the month is “sandwich” and every variation of the word — sandwiches, sandwiched, sand witch, and sandwicher. Why? Because I said so. Ok. So it doesn’t have to be every person’s word of the month but if I have to “observe” something as dumb as Valentine’s Day, then I for sure can…

2023-11-30 Designated Daughter
Late winter 2021, in February I think, my mom came over to the house for a visit and sat across from me and said “My bowels are acting strange. I think I might have cancer.” I looked her straight in the eyes, while trying not to roll mine and said “Don’t be ridiculous. You don’t…

2023-11-26 BIG MOVES, Revealed…
One might ask, am I doing with the extra time I have each day while hiding out from the world, free of most of my typical obligations? The truth is that not much has changed. It turns out I spend a fair bit of time every single day maintaining this Castle of a house and…

2023-11-25 Confirmed by Enneagram…
Feel like it’s been a while again and imma go ahead and blame the Bachelor franchise for taking all my treadmill time. Quite frankly I don’t want to be walking today so this will probably be short unless I dive into something that makes my brain take off. Not likely. What’s new? The answer is…

2023-11-08 Can She Do It? Three for Three?…
I’m two for two writing new shit this week and bout to go three for three. Can’t believe it’s Wednesday. Can’t believe I don’t know the day of the week anymore. That I have no reason or need to know. It could be Saturday or Tuesday or Friday. Who cares? My daily chore calendar keeps…

2023-10-31 No Tricks. Only Treats…
Last day of the month. And it’s Halloween which used to be a fun time when the kids were little but these days I’m all like, yawn… whatever. The outside of our house is thoroughly decorated no thanks to yours truly. And we’re ready with those full size candy bars, but again, I prolly won’t…

2023-10-25 Mischief Managed
As we tiptoe toward the end of October, I’m feeling pretty good about where things are at. Historically, in lovely and peaceful times like these, I often don’t feel the need to write about it. Writing is for working out the shit so what’s there to say when life is good? I could muse about…
