Written in 2012 2012 turned out to be one of our best years, though it came with significant losses. This time, it wasn’t about financial or material loss—it was about death. I find myself almo...
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—...
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 ...
Written in 2011 Much of 2011 was not a good year, and I am determined to make 2012 better. Tom got laid off again in early March. Once again, we were thrust into the endless cycle of poverty w...
Pros and Cons in 2024
I’ve been weighing the pros and cons of where we want to move. The climate here is warm, Oregon was cold, and Citrus Heights fell somewhere in between. The climate in NM is between cold and in-b...
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...
Lori's Daughter in 2024
Oh, do I have an interesting story to share today! Some of you don’t know me well, while others may have been following along. So, for a bit of background: I have four first cousins. Two of the...
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...
Fucking Trump in 2024
Welcome to the United States of Fucktards where women love men and men love men. eyeroll Although, I’m guessing there wasn’t as much of a turnout which would be Biden’s fault because he did such...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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
I had a dream about discussing Andy with Tom. Tom said, “Boy, you are really unsure about what to do with him.” I replied, “Yeah, every woman needs a good friend, and I miss the good times.” ...
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...
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...
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
Yesterday, I was hit with intense thyroid fatigue, but today I feel a little better. Because I jumped the gun and assumed the lung tightness was from the spray, it really messed things up over t...
The following morning, Saturday, Tom checked the ad for the Auburn trailer and found they’d left a number to call either Maryann or Jesse. He called Maryann first and left a message. She called ...
Each day Tom returned from work, stopping at the mailbox on the way to the motel to tell me the card still hadn’t arrived, was heart-wrenching. I felt increasingly doomed, out of sorts, physical...
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. ...
We spent about six hours loading the rental truck we would drive down to Sacramento, attaching a trailer to pull our own vehicle behind. By 3:00 p.m., we finally left Oregon for the last time on...
