Maybe next year

December 22, 2011

I so badly want to make my own Christmas traditions.  I want to have a place, a space of my own (our own, really) where I can be myself and do the things I want and like.  Every year I say to myself “maybe next year…”, and every year I’m disappointed because I’m never there. [...]

In wich I share, and yet DON’T share.

December 18, 2011

This morning I woke up to my mother-in-law’s cat, Sunshine, crying outside my bedroom door.  She has this quiet sort of cry that she hardly ever makes, but for the past two days she’s been periodically wandering over to my door and crying, then wandering away.  It’s kind of funny and cute, because I don’t [...]

Dear Diary

December 2, 2011

Sometimes I don’t know how I ever made it through my life without Xanax.  That thought both calms and worries me.  It calms me because when I take it, I’m able to form more rational thought processes while it significantly reduces the anxiety and panic I feel over whatever it is I’m having a panic [...]

home-sweet-home

November 30, 2011

I am homesies! Home! Home! Home! Home! Home!  I was so excited to sleep in my own bed again that we went to bed around 10pm last night and watched some Netflix fell asleep right away.  It’s okay that I woke up at 6:30 this morning, because I slept in my bed with my pillows [...]

I LOVE…  Fallout 3.  I’ve been playing it pretty much non-stop again for the past three days.  I started a new game and this time I’m going to make an evil character.  I don’t know why, but I always felt bad when I was killing Wastelanders and Settlers.  This time I’m going to steal everything [...]

Watch out says that bird!

November 8, 2011

So after my last few rather not-so-upbeat posts, I want to post something that isn’t all woe-is-me and the-world-is-ending because I don’t want you guys thinking the worst.  This morning The Destroyer and I purchased our tickets to spend Thanksgiving in Rhode Island (w00t).  I can not wait!  In two weeks I’m going to Clyde’s, [...]

Everything is divisible by anxiety.

November 7, 2011

I have days when things are really good, you know?  Like everyone does.  Everyone has those days where the sun is shining a little bit brighter than it usually does, when everything tastes amazing and nothing gets you down.  I have those days, but they seem to come less and less frequently than they ever [...]

A Different Kind of Romance

November 5, 2011

Remember how I was having novel content and procrastination troubles?  I went from having nothing to write about to having 8 pages in the first four days of writing.  That’s good (for me).  I mean I’m still procrastinating (obviously, or I wouldn’t be writing a blog when I haven’t reached my daily word count quota) [...]

NaNoWriMo Day 1: (UPDATED)

November 1, 2011

I woke up and got out of bed an hour ago (11:38AM).  I made myself a cup of coffee and determined that I would have 1’667 words (the daily requirement to achieve 50’000 words in 30 days) written of Novel 2011 by the time The Destroyer gets home this afternoon, and yet here I am [...]

Some thoughts on colder weather and getting older.

It occurred to me yesterday that the older I get, the more I enjoy the colder weather months.  Doesn’t that seem a bit backwards?  How many old folks do you know migrate to Florida each winter?  I can name a few (especially because my Grams is hot stuff at the Senior Center).  Not long ago [...]
