The State of D76
I took a little break from writing in January. I didn’t intend to do it, it just sort of happened. I think there were a couple of times I began to write and then bagged it. I spent some time over...
When will the tragedy end?
You know the saying “when it rains it pours?” I feel like our little community is drowning in tragedy. Over the past two and half to three years, there has been a rash of teen suicides. It is of ...
It Can't Be Me...Can It?
Once again I sent off a lovely email to TC and some 24 hours later no response. I know she has seen it. If I check my work email at home, I know she checks hers. I am sure in a week or two I will...
CTRL+B
I feel like I should do a little brain drain to tidy up my brain region and free up some much needed space. I would normally do bullets, but this rinky dink editor is the shits and even when I wr...
This Was: September & October
Books: Lucky Girl by Jessica Knoll. Touted as “If you loved Gone Girl…” this book was okay. There were some plot points that got annoying (label dropping, more label dropping, even more label dro...
Letting Go
Trying to figure out life is hard and exhausting work. I wonder if it ever ends. I say that because even in retirement, it seems my mom struggles with what she wants to do. So maybe we just never...
Get out of my brain!
Some stuff just needs to leave my brain…in bulleted form brother-in-law (BIL) texts me to see if Mom is feeling better because Sister told him Mom was sick because Mom TEXTED Sister. I explaine...
The Time is Ny...quil
I don’t get sick very often. I get headaches, and general lethargy, but real sickness is not something I am used to. Yesterday afternoon I developed a sore throat and I just knew that it was an o...
Like a Bullet
Work Apparently a signed MOU doesn’t matter if the guidelines change within the time the MOU was to run for and they can also change the rate of reimbursement. All without any notice to us. I...
This was August
Books: Zip! I didn’t even read one page of an actual book this month. It didn’t stop me from buying some books, but no reading of them. Music: I fell in love with Going Nowhere from Fifth Harmony...
Started Earlier
I started to write earlier, but I just wasn’t feeling it. Now I saw that the VMA’s are this Sunday and then I saw that they redesigned the moon man and then I saw that Kanye is getting the video ...
This...
1-Sex is best in the morning, afternoon, or night? Yes? If I had to pick, probably night because there is nothing quite like an after sex sleep. 2-What side of the bed do you sleep on? Either. Do...
AmazFail
For the second time in less than a month, I have been screwed over on shipping by Amazon. First it was a book I ordered on July 19th, still has not arrived (two-day prime shipping selected). This...
This Was July
Books: Magazines. I picked up a couple of books, but was too faithful to actually read for more than a paragraph. So magazines it was. Music: I took a road trip so I put together a playlist of so...
In My Head
I am always amazed at how much information I build up in my brain in just a short amount of time. I took my mini-getaway last week and it was good. Not great, not as wonderful as I built it up to...
A Day of Ugh!
I have not felt normal since I left the house at 8:00 this morning. I had an eye exam first thing and after the drops & dilation, I was off. FYI: Lime refresher from Starbucks isn’t really li...
Guilt
Getting older sucks. Not because of the age thing or the aches thing, but because you really still don’t know what you want to be and your window is closing! I have been doing a lot of reflecting...
This was June...
Books: I feel like I did a lot of reading in June. I read Gathering Prey, which I loved, Invisible which I really liked, and I am trying to read In The Dark (having a hard time dragging out the o...
The Hazards of Crack
I don’t understand and I don’t think I ever will the point of UPS bringing a package all the way to my city only to hand it off to the post office for final delivery. Seriously, my shit is sittin...
In the Midst of Order
I expect this post to go off into several directions as my brain is in a state of disorder at the moment. So many things and no idea where to start, so I figure if I get it out, then I will have ...
Breakthroughs & Going Back
I spent most of last night sorting through computer files and reading some old prompt writing. And I will be damned if it didn’t put me right back there again! And it was fucking awesome! I defin...
This Field is Required
I don’t really miss Open Diary itself, but I do miss the community type feature. It is hard to find like minded individuals. I would love to see some sort of tag/search function so I could find o...
Normal Again?
I think I might actually be feeling normal again for the first time in possibly years. I am not sure what happened but I woke up today (a little late) feeling refreshed. I put mascara on for the ...
Envyville - Population: Me
I envy people who can let things go. It has to be an innate thing, as I don’t know how one could learn that. I want so desperately to let things go, to not be paranoid & afraid, but getting b...
Everything is Scripted!
Nothing is real anymore. Reality television, scripted. The news, scripted. Sports, scripted. There is zero reality in the world. I have long been convinced of the scriptedness of sports. I read t...
Book Description
Pretty much a place for everything that I can’t figure out a book for.
