  • 2017-04-01 On Sleep and Seeking Medical Help

    Today I slept in until 10 AM. Thanks in part to being at Josh’s house until like 5 and the other part to Alprazolam (Xanax). Without it, I probably would not have been able to fall back asleep. As usual, my mind was wide awake at 5AM and in those cases in the past, I…

  • 2017-03-26 Sunday Stats + Choices

    It’s been a while since I posted stats. So long, that I forgot what I was keeping track of. I’ve put a pause on tracking my food so I have nothing to report on for that. Feeling a bit setback the past 3 weeks, I’ve put more of a focus on sleep and exercise. My…

  • 2017-03-19 I Can’t Escape Myself

    Lot’s of drama and surprises this week and yesterday was another day I found myself trying really hard to hold back tears. It was Saturday and I did not have my kids so I had the whole day to myself to do whatever I wanted. I woke up shortly after 7 and did some writing,…

  • 2017-03-18 Bombs Away, The Barrage Continues

    Another long one here, because there is no other way. Bomb #1 was a doozie. That’s the stuff that lingers and keeps me from getting a good night sleep. As far as I am concerned, that would have been enough for one week, but as I wrote in yesterday’s post, that was just the beginning.…

  • 2017-03-17 Bombs Away

    Oh holy hell where do I begin? I’ve been on the verge of tears all week and had one thing after another pushing me right up to that edge. I don’t think I’ve cried this much since the first week in January. I guess when it rains it pours and some of these things were…

  • 2017-03-15 Beware the Ides of March

    Here it is again.. The Ides of March. I’m not really a superstitious person, but there’s a black cloud that hangs over this day in history and I tend to tread a little more cautiously because of it. According to the almighty wiki: The Ides of March (Latin: Idus Martiae, Late Latin: Idus Martii)[1] is…

  • 2017-02-22 The Return of the Ring

    It’s kinda like the “Return of the King”, but with a lot less action, adventure, and comedic outtakes from from sassy elves and sarcastic dwarves. Yesterday I experienced the end of the saga that has been weighing on me like the “One Ring” on Frodo for the better part of the last 6 months of…

  • 2017-02-21 Timing Is Everything

    If you would have told me a year ago I would be turning down a job offer today I would not have believed you but that is exactly what has happened. A year ago in February I wrote about how I had come to the end of a lot of what I could stand in…
