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…

2019-06-18 Where it Stops, Nobody Knows

It’s another severely overcast morning and the mood is set. Everything in the backyard is cast in a haze of forgetting. It would be a good day to slide under some blankets and nap the day away but then the guilt of wasting time would gnaw on my big toe and not let me really…
2019-06-17 The One About Marriage – Part 2

It’s Monday and the weekend went by too fast. We had a house full of teenagers again this go-round and it feels like I spent the entire weekend cleaning the kitchen and doing dishes. I don’t want this to turn into a rant but I just feel like I’ve gotta get it out. Every single…
2019-06-15 Four, Three, Two, One, and Go (or Not)

At this point I’m just moving about the world and spending a lot of time thinking about it. The world and my place in it. What’s worth a second thought and what is not. Four days ago I saw a tweet from a friend of mine that led to an article that was worth a…
2019-06-12 Balance Restored

It’s Wednesday and the toughest part of my week is over. I had the dinner party and wouldn’t you know it, the world did not end. Nothing bad happened. Of course they all loved the house and I ordered sushi so food prep and clean-up was a snap! I slept in until about 7:15 this…
2019-06-11 It’s all in my Head

I’m having a quaint get-together with co-workers at my house this evening and I’m having some serious anxiety about it. I don’t know what is wrong with me. Why can’t I just relax like everyone else and enjoy dinner with some really great people? Why can’t I? I mean, what’s the worst that can happen?…
2019-06-10 Housewife Life

It’s the second or third day in a row I don’t feel I’ve anything to write about. I haven’t really been on the treadmill either. My mind has melded the two some how. It’s almost 9pm and I’m sitting with my kitten in the greenhouse. I had a pretty productive day, you know, being a…
2019-06-07 The One About Marriage – Part 1

It’s been about 9 and a half months since my love proposed to me. It was a beautiful setting, the green space outside of the location we met for the first time. It was a warm day and though the sun was shining, there were isolated showers. He started giving what sounded like a speech…
2019-06-06 Six, Six, Pickup Sticks

I’m not sure why Day to Day I either have a lot to say or I don’t. Today I don’t. Do we talk about the weather? Do we talk about how water is the Way and then follow its virtue around rocks and through valleys to the deep blue sea? Do we talk about how…
2019-06-05 Ten Random Things…

Easy Like Lemon-Squeezeeee… 1. My Fitbit died yesterday for no apparent reason. I’m torn between contacting the company (because it’s not that old and stuff shouldn’t just stop working like that), not replacing it and seeing how life goes on without it, and running right out this morning to buy a new one. 2. We…
2019-06-04 An Amalgamation of Nugatory Thoughts

Last Friday I sat outside in a chair in the shade on my back patio trying to turn the day’s blog post which was wrought with emotion into a poem. In doing so I ended up with a poem and about a dozen bites on my neck and left arm from some unseen spider or…
2019-06-03 Monday Rainy Monday

It’s so dark outside and would be the perfect day to sleep in. Well, it would be if I had not fallen asleep at 8:30 last night. I woke up at 11pm when Jim cane to bed and promptly fell right back asleep again. Then I slept through until the alarm went off at 6AM.…
2019-06-02 Deep Dish Sunday Status 🍕

It’s Chicago Style.. Sauce on top. The month of May took me to three of the four corners of Nebraska and it was the oddest little spring road trip ever. Torrential rains, hail, snow, slushy hikes and frozen fingers refusing to stop taking pictures of rare views of nature. Yellow wildflowers poking hopefully through a…
