Michela in 2024

Michela was on 23andMe, and I assume she saw my message. Not surprisingly, I haven’t received a reply. I got the new coloring book and it’s great. I colored for a couple of hours on and off. Cr...

Gypsy Rose in 2024

I keep debating what I do and don’t want to include in public journals. On one hand, I’m not doing anything wrong if I keep it legal. But on the other, I don’t want to make anyone uncomfortable—...

Simone in 2024

I slept for 9 hours and 15 minutes and my weight is going up again. I definitely need to increase my vitamin D; I just don’t want to do it too soon before the lab. If that dream turns out to be ...

Pros and Cons in 2024

Bio - 45 in My Bio

Jumping back to mid-2010, in July, my “relationship” with Marie ended. She often became delusional and accusatory when paranoid, and it just got old. She was also very immature in many ways, and...

Easy in 2024

Well, that was easy. Just did a survey on the job site that asked if I’m still happy in Florida. No. Do you feel at home in Florida? No. Do you want to move to another state? Yes. Do you w...

Tears in 2024

Yesterday, I broke down in tears over my health issues. I took a nap, which gave me a bit of energy, and then I scrubbed the kitchen. But after just 20 to 30 minutes, it damned near knocked the ...

Bio - 44 in My Bio

Early 2010: Tom has been laid off for nearly 17 months. I appreciate not having to worry about him being on the road so much and enjoy seeing him have more time for the things he loves. But eve...

Take Nothing for Granted in 2024

When I see writing prompts asking, “What would you tell your younger self?” I’d tell myself to appreciate the things you take for granted when you’re young. When you’re young, you don’t realize ...

Bio - 43 in My Bio

I sent a letter to Andy’s sister Marla since I couldn’t find his address, asking her to say hello to him for me. I admitted that moving away without telling him where I’d gone had been mean and ...

Bigots in 2024

There were some gay-bashing jokes circulating in the park group. I read that you can report anonymously, so I flagged it to the group administration since it falls under politics, which isn’t al...

Complicated in 2024

Why must life be so complicated? And why must it be so full of what you don’t want, with so much settling for second best? Unsurprisingly, I’m not going to be able to get Galileo back because th...

From Latvia to Lithuania in 2024

Bio - 42 in My Bio

I’ve often been told I’m very smart. Yet even the smartest people can make poor decisions at times, and so I responded to Tammy’s brief Facebook message in early 2009 saying that she hoped I was...

Border in 2024

Knowing that I’ll have to live with chronic fatigue for the rest of my life does not sit well with me at all. I really think that’s part of my problem. That in itself is like a partial death sen...

Bio - 41 in My Bio

NOTE: This section updated March 2010. It has been nearly two years since we left the motel and moved into the secluded little trailer in the woods. I was battling a bad case of post-traumatic ...

Intense Fatigue in 2024

Milestones in 2024

How do people see their phones outdoors? I’m outside now, not even in direct sunlight, and I can barely see the screen. Talk-typing now and hoping for the best. I think this is coming out okay. ...
