Back from vacay!

I went up north and made a brief trip over to Mackinac Island. I sat in the park and ate brunch and shopped for a new sweatshirt (but didn’t find anything), and I bought fudge, (which the island is famous for), for friends and family. I also just had a lovely time with my cousin’s …

Big storms!

We had some nasty storms last night I guess. I didn’t notice them because I was in the hospital and my window looks out onto a courtyard thing, instead of fully outside. Thank goodness. I’m pretty scared of storms so I am not a fan. Anyway, a bunch of people I know lost power last …

Yeah… still here…

I’m still in the hospital. It’s awesome. Actually, I mean I don’t wish this pain on anyone or myself, but the staff has been amazing and my doctor has been really good as well. I feel like they are really trying to figure it out this time and not just send me to the curb. …

I once was a Girl Scout…

I didn’t really learn much in the Girl Scouts besides how to sell cookies, but I was one. My Dad however, was a Boy Scout for a very long portion of his life and I’ve watched him build fires a number of times. That came in handy last night when my cousin and I got …

Not packing.

I have at least done some laundry towards packing for this trip this weekend, but I am not actually placing things in a bag like I should be. It’s kind of ridiculous. I have no time on Friday to accomplish this task, so I pretty much have to get it done today and tomorrow. You’d …

Laundry day!

Woo-hoo! It’s my favorite day! Just kidding. I’m washing stuff so I can go up north this weekend to my cousin’s grandma’s 90th birthday party. Mostly, I’m going because my cousin’s husband is staying behind to take care of the puppy, (and I think he doesn’t want to go), and my cousin needs another adult …

Okay for real though…

This is an image of my head. This weather is doing all kinds of stupid things to it. I am beyond tired of the migraine situation. I called and moved my neurology appointment to the further away office just to get it closer by a month. It’s still in December. Yay me. The receptionist did …

Broken system

The mental health system is seriously messed up. I know this is not news to anyone anywhere, but I just have to rant for a second. First, let me be clear and say that I am incredibly blessed to have a great psych provider, a great therapist, and parents who help me access a wonderful …

Funk.

I woke up today with a headache that I’m hoping is from the weather. We have sort of an unsettled weather pattern with storms last night and more storms forecasted for tonight. I had a lot of fun with my cousin and her girls at the fireworks last night though. They were really nice. It …

Yay!!!!!!!!!!

https://youtu.be/gdZYyY7g8g4 There are all kinds of great Schoolhouse Rock “America Rocks” ones, but this is one of my favorites. It’s also appropriate because, barring rain, I’m going to see a small fireworks display with my cousin and the girls after all. I’m kind of excited if I’m honest. I LOVE fireworks and I didn’t think …
