Hello one and all. I hope you're having a great start to the week. My procedure yesterday afternoon went okay. I think I've just gotten used to it, though my anxiety was still pretty awful. Usually there's an epic migraine and so much physical pain after this treatment that I come back, feed my cats, … Continue reading Tuesday Thoughts

Feeling Like A Hostage Negotiator
What's the holdup? Basically, my laptop will no longer charge and needs to be replaced. It's been too long already without being able to write, and I'm slowly losing my mind. I'm trying to hunt down a temporary replacement. Something used since I can't yet afford the model I need, and the manufacturer doesn't offer … Continue reading Feeling Like A Hostage Negotiator
Nightmares In Technology
The new power supply for my laptop arrived today. It's being returned tomorrow, or perhaps Wednesday, because the company sent me the wrong one. 🤦 The only benefit is that I'll receive a full refund and they will pay the return shipping. I ordered a universal power supply from Targus. I genuinely wish I'd thought … Continue reading Nightmares In Technology
Quick Update
Power supply arrived in Boston. Yay! 🙌🙌 I'm waiting for it to move to the Middlesex-Essex Distribution Center. I obsessively tracking it all last night into this morning (Insomnia due to a vicious migraine. Not fun.). Praying for a Monday afternoon arrival, but even if it's Tuesday, I will update everything and these update posts … Continue reading Quick Update
I Did It AGAIN
Sorry everyone. 😔 It seems as though I managed to kill the power supply for my laptop AGAIN. 🤦 Granted, the first replacement wasn't insanely expensive and almost a full two years is relatively reasonable, all things taken into consideration. I just ordered a new one. Fingers crossed it's here Monday or Tuesday. 🙏🤞 In … Continue reading I Did It AGAIN
Personal Public Service Announcement: Mother’s Day
Late-March into May is a difficult time for me. It's when my e-mail accounts (personal and professional) slowly become flooded with Mother's Day prompts. Last year, I deleted roughly sixty companies from my regular list because it was obnoxious and triggering. I wish I'd deleted more. This year, I almost certainly will do my best … Continue reading Personal Public Service Announcement: Mother’s Day
Days On The Ledge
I'm not a good actor, ask anyone who truly knows me. I don't excel at faking things with bullshit, smiles, and pretend laughter in an attempt to project that "Everything's great." When people try that with me, I wonder what they're trying to prove by lying. This morning, I was on that ledge. I'm not … Continue reading Days On The Ledge
From Scratch
Two days. That's all it took to completely erase me. My entire past and much of the present; things I've held onto tightly because I believed I had something in life worth fighting for. I still had hope. I believed in the responsibility. I believed in keeping specific things, and people, alive, and sacred. Now, … Continue reading From Scratch
Eighty One Years Old
It's International Women's Day, but it's also the anniversary of the passing of my Grandmother. This year, I choose to honor one over the other. Obviously, I'm going to choose my family. My Grandmother helped raise my brother and I, and she did so happily. She lived directly across the street, and was a solid … Continue reading Eighty One Years Old
Musings Of An Unquiet Mind
My closest friends and family, my loved ones, are the absolute BEST reflection of who I am. When you have healthy self-respect, self-esteem, dignity, a seemingly unending source of inner strength, and an innate sense of self, you don't wait for some mythological superhero to rescue you. You're your own damn hero, and I'm SO PROUD of … Continue reading Musings Of An Unquiet Mind
