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 …

Stressed?

Trigger warning ⚠️ mentions suicide ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️ Okay. So. I’m talking to my ex tonight, (something I do almost every single day because this person and I are still very close friends in spite of everything), and this person tells me that I “don’t know about being stressed.” EXCUSE ME?? Like quasi-living with an alleged cancer …

Trying to maintain calm

My mom has always had a hard form with her blood pressure but it’s been really bad the last few days. It’s kind of gone back down to normal this evening, but her pulse is still like almost 100. I am so worried about her. I hate when she’s not okay. I worry so much. …

Why is the shower such a deep commitment?

Honestly? Why does showering feel like I’m signing some kind of lifetime contract? It’s 25 minutes out of my day total to get in and out and dressed. It’s just exhausting! That’s why. I know I’m not the only person who struggles with this. I know I’m not because I have friends that do too. …

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 …

Independence Day

This is generally my favorite holiday. It’s probably because I have so many fond memories attached to it and I mean, as messed up as things can get here, I love my country. At the same time, there is a lot of heartbreak associated with today as well. I don’t know. I’m just having a …

Fireworks

I was supposed to go see fireworks on Independence Day with my stepdad but it looks like it’s going to rain Monday night. The place we were going to go has a large festival for several days and they have fireworks tonight too, but they just had a rather significant disaster occur during their air …
