I hate the traditional work week, which is probably why I don't have a "traditional" job. Granted, with my injury and upsetting things going on in my personal life, I spent most of my week making phone calls, practicing self-care, doing extensive research, texting with a close family member, and trying not to commit any … Continue reading Thank God It’s Saturday!

How Honest Are People About Their Mental Health? This Might Surprise You…
Facebook needs to institute a better policy involving "friending". Even with strict filtering, I have people sending me friend requests simply because they like something I've said. Why in the world would you want to be "friends" with someone who is simply the same astrological sign as you, or just happens to also be a … Continue reading How Honest Are People About Their Mental Health? This Might Surprise You…
What To Say?
What to say? Oh, what to say? This is a challenging week, and it's only Wednesday. My blood pressure has been through the roof from stress since last week. Medication gets taken as needed, and then I get sleepy. Under normal circumstances, my blood pressure is always normal, unless you piss me off. Needless to … Continue reading What To Say?
Pie For Breakfast
When someone brings you two pies, each covered in chunks of Oreo cookies, with an Oreo cookie crust, and whipped cream as the filling to this confection, do you ignore this sugary delight before you (Especially when you've had minimal sugar for months on end.) or do you blissfully enjoy a few bites? I have … Continue reading Pie For Breakfast
I’d Hoped For A Thunderstorm
For every weather site and app that predicted thunderstorms last night into today; I am not happy with you. Deliver your predictions, lest people start believing that you "cold read" the weather to begin with and aren't actually looking at all the colorful charts and fancy equipment you like to show us and claim is … Continue reading I’d Hoped For A Thunderstorm
Sleep Interrupted
I was in bed last night right after The Blacklist ended (If you don't watch this show, you should. I never intended for it to become something I watch, but the pilot had me hooked from day one.). I flew up the steps, washed my face, brushed my teeth, and after double-checking cat bowls, got … Continue reading Sleep Interrupted
Long Days, Short Nights
The days are way too long. The nights are too fucking short. Sleep is hard to come by, but man, I'm trying. I was raised to believe that doing your best is "enough", providing it is truly "your best". I suffer from "Superwoman Syndrome". This is a real thing. I'm an overachiever that has this … Continue reading Long Days, Short Nights
Holiday Weeks
It's no secret: I'm fucking exhausted. Fibromyalgia, migraines, and two hundred truckloads of stress are slowly trying to kill me. Every day, I wonder if a heart attack or a stroke will take me out. I wish I were being dramatic, but I'm not. I would really like to curl up on the floor like a … Continue reading Holiday Weeks
Hard Work Makes Me Sleepy
This morning I said that I would push myself to work on this manuscript. I've revised portions of it so many times that it's caused me to not go further into the manuscript than I normally would at this particular point in time. That irritates me, but my client is pleased and said she'd rather … Continue reading Hard Work Makes Me Sleepy
The World Really IS Full Of Idiots!
Author's Note: This does not pertain to the non-idiots of the world, of which the ratio seems to be smaller by the day. Patience is not my strong suit. It's a fact, so I'm being clear about it. And yet, with my severe lack of patience, every idiot in the world is somehow finding me. … Continue reading The World Really IS Full Of Idiots!
