Aspiration

An article came out earlier this month describing how Carrie Fisher handled a producer who sexually harassed a friend of hers. It’s pretty amazing. I aspire to have half of her spunk.  You can read the article in the Washington Post here. 

Trick-or-treaters

I’ve had zero trick-or-treaters so far. I’m so bummed! First, I could be sleeping. Second, we have fun stuff. Third, I need a distraction from the horror happening in NYC.  Ooh! As I type this I just had four kids! I’m not sure how many I will see tonight, but they were cute.  I’m so …

Rest

I need some rest in the worst way. I got maybe two or three hours of sleep last night and I am exhausted.  It’s super hard to sleep with this monitor thing because I am worried about the leads popping off (one did during the solid 1.5 hours I did get last night). I couldn’t …

Halloween 🎃

I’m so excited about Halloween this year. I didn’t think I would be. I wasn’t yesterday.  I am excited to pass out goodies to all of the kids dressed up. I don’t have any other plans than that, but I’m really looking forward to it. Is that a sign, along with my grey hair, that …

Lunatics

It seems perfectly acceptable to still make Ghoulish references to mental health on Halloween. You can see it in the costumes on offer this year: The straight up offensive straight jacket: The "side show psycho": The "sexy psycho": At some point we need to acknowledge that this is just as unacceptable as dressing as a cancer …

Ghost

Ghost A ghost swept up in the breeze  like a  plastic sack swirling in the  fall gusts with the leaves  until it finds the unlucky someone it belongs to and haunts  the person’s  dreams.  Art by me.

Well…

It seems I may have found the complete and total untenable side effect of Remeron for me.  It’s meant to help me sleep, but when I have to go to the bathroom all night on the hour to take care of feminine needs and end up in ER per my doctor’s office due to concerns …

Splitting!!

I am pretty sure my head is going to split open. This migraine sucks.  There is obviously a front coming through because it is windy and spitting rain. My head also says there is.  I have the runny nose on one side and the weepy eye and all of the things that indicate that this …

Meatloaf #2

I went to the grocery store today despite being exhausted and having this monitor thing that has a cord sticking out that may or may not make me look like a suicide bomber because my stepdad is at the store like every day and I felt guilty.  Okay. Fine. I am full of whining today …

Monitor

Well I have this holter monitor thing on. I have to leave it for 48 hours so that it can tell if my heart is doing wonky things. It is this tiny cell phone sized thing with a cord that sticks out that runs wires onto leads on my chest.  Here’s the monitor: I have …
