I've kept an extremely low profile the past few days. For starters, I am still fighting off an infection. It's draining me terribly. My brain understood I really needed to shovel snow yesterday, but my body sent me back to bed because I couldn't keep my head up or my eyes open. I was battling … Continue reading The Dark Days

I apologize for not being able to write this weekend, as intended. I've been suffering a few weeks now, not knowing exactly what was wrong. I hadn't been exposed to anyone, so I was more in the mindset that maybe my migraine treatment was not working, which can happen. It's not an exact science and … Continue reading Ultimate Guide To Letting Go…

Hello, everyone. It's been a minute, and the reality is, I've been sick for over a month. 😦 I haven't had any real energy, and I've struggled with not getting enough sleep and then getting too much sleep, if too much sleep is actually a real thing. <Sigh> According to my body, it isn't. Fighting … Continue reading Pre-Thanksgiving Jitters

I'm not overly superstitious, but today was a bit much for me. I woke up with an arm injury (I am typing with my left hand. Perhaps it's a good thing I trained myself to use it in all situations, in case I ever had a stroke.) that is painful. I'm not sure how it … Continue reading Friday the 13th

Everyone I spoke to this week, save two or three people, brought up today's election. I am trying to be positive, yet realistic.

Hello, everyone. Nothing major to report. I should be okay-ish in about 2-4 weeks. I had a minor in-office procedure done this afternoon and practically ran out of the building screaming because, sick people. If you're sick, please stay home. Running to a hospital attached medical building might not be the smartest decision. I was … Continue reading Checking In Post-Procedure

I have taken the ads down. When I was trying to post my views on the shooting in Philly, due to the ads, I was not allowed to use the words, "Police Shooting of a Black man", "Murder", etc. That's NOT okay, because that's exactly what happened. I am uncensored and unedited by others, so … Continue reading Full Disclosure

I keep asking myself when a day won't feel, "rough", "tough", "heartbreaking", "emotionally taxing", "lonely", or "deeply upsetting". The fact of the matter is, as someone who rarely cries, I've been an emotional tornado. I've cried so much over the past few days, and that only angers me. In the past week I've nearly hyperventilated … Continue reading Current Mood > Assumptions

Today is World Mental Health Day, and as someone who discusses mental health throughout the course of the year, I come up short today.
