Something Hopeful

I told my therapist I would journal more. And I’ve just stared at the screen for hours, not sure what to write. I still feel really depressed and kind of hopeless. I’m trying to counteract that. So… I guess let’s look at the things that are good in my life right now. Things aren’t allContinue reading “Something Hopeful”

Fired

10 days ago I was fired from my job. Let go is the polite way of putting it, but it all boils down to the same thing. After nearly 5 years, I find myself unemployed again. I’m grieving the loss of this job. I loved the company, and I loved my coworkers. Sure, I didn’tContinue reading “Fired”

The past few months

At the end of May, I hit a very low point. I’ve been struggling, as I usually do, for a while. But it had gotten a lot worse. I hit a point of being about one bad thing away from a mental breakdown and was having ideation daydreams several times an hour. The tipping pointContinue reading “The past few months”

Getting Back At It – Sort of.

There’s a lot I could write about today. I have the Inaguration on, which has given me so many feelings. I also discovered that Luna, the little pug who is a spaz, does not like when I get upset and will try to attack the things she thinks is upsetting me. Which is how IContinue reading “Getting Back At It – Sort of.”

Tummy Ache of the Heart

The past weekend had been simultaneously one of the best weekends (well, best day) followed by nothing but things that have made my heart sore. Halloween is my favorite holiday. It usually marks the start of what counts as Fall for Los Angeles, and it’s a day where creativity and spooky and everything is justContinue reading “Tummy Ache of the Heart”

Words and stuff

I have been writing this blog entry for several weeks. In pieces. Because dear lords did life just get SUPER busy really freaking all of a sudden. And then I go back and I read what I wrote and I erase it because it’s no longer relevant. My schedule is kind of all over theContinue reading “Words and stuff”

News and stuff.

I am sitting in an empty condo with a cat, who is currently grumpy with me because I apparently do not know how to give it proper pets. I just had a really, really great day. I woke up next to someone who makes me smile and happy. I got a free upgrade on aContinue reading “News and stuff.”

Updaterino

I don’t have a lot to say right now. Which, truthfully isn’t true. But I am exhausted and there is rain pattering outside, my bedroom smells like eucalyptus and mint and it’s doing it’s very best to seduce me into my bed with my newest book. I hit my first milestone with my weight lossContinue reading “Updaterino”

Is the week over yet?

I’ll be perfectly honest. The fact that it is only Wednesday is absolutely mind-boggling to me. Like. This is some amazing revelation that this week has lasted what feels like 100 years, and we’re just getting over the middle of it. There was some sort of karmic retribution for what a good week last weekContinue reading “Is the week over yet?”

Going on to 2018, with a brief look back on 2017

When this uploads, it’ll be January 1st. I spent a good portion of time examining the different tools and aspects of WordPress. Something I should have done years ago but never actually bothered because I am actually the worst. This past year has been a rollercoaster. I did so much. I gained so much. AndContinue reading “Going on to 2018, with a brief look back on 2017”
