Memories come from nowhere sometimes. And then there’s Facebook’s “On This Day” thing which puts them front and center. This morning, I was minding my own business, flipping through my timeline when the notification popped up. I generally like to peruse the memories and laugh or cringe or whatever. Today, my memory timeline was full […]
A terrible person wrote something stupid and the backlash was glorious.
Late last night, I was scrolling through Twitter, exhausted but just not quite ready to go to sleep. I came across a tweet that I can no longer find because it has been buried by a deluge of similar sentiments, all aimed at an article on xoJane.com that says a former friend of the author […]
Bits of Randomness
Life is hard right now, as I mentioned last week. I’d love to pour out my soul onto the keyboard and tell you all about the struggles I’m facing right now, but I just can’t. Not yet. Not in this space. So you’re getting some randomness instead. Just some thoughts and updates and whatnot that […]
Sometimes Life is Hard
Last week was Spring Break at the college where I work, and as is tradition, I took the week off. For several months, Chris and I toyed with the idea of taking a quick trip to Arizona to catch some Spring Training games, but finances made that not feasible and we didn’t end up going. […]
Is it the weekend yet?
So I typed up this whole post and was ready to publish it and WordPress ate it. It’s been a bad day so far. Hell, it’s been a bad WEEK so far. Is it really only Wednesday? So far my week has consisted of: Being forced out of the office I’ve had to myself for three […]
Lately
The last couple of weeks have been a real struggle for me. Which I know I’ve mentioned once or twice. For reasons I can’t get into on such a public forum, I am really not enjoying my 8to5 anymore. I used to take pride in my work, used to love my coworkers, used to find […]
Off the meds and off my rocker.
It’s been awhile since I wrote about my brain and my mental health. Today feels like the right day to do it. Because right now? I’m feeling all the things. And I can’t decide if I love it or hate it. A few months ago, I mentioned that I talked to Dr. Batman about the […]
The things I think about at 2 in the morning.
It’s going on 2 am and I’m awake for no other reason than that I feel like it, thankyouverymuch. I stayed up to finish reading The Girl on the Train because I just HAD TO KNOW who did it– (AND I was right, thankyouverymuch) –and then I finished reading the book hours ago and opened […]
It Gets Better
I was talking to my best good friend Emily last night when it occurred to me that I haven’t talked about my mental health in quite awhile. I’ve tried to be really open about the fact that I live with Major Depressive Disorder and General Anxiety Disorder. And a couple of years ago, I was […]
Musical Mondays: Secrets
I don’t often participate in a lot of blog hops anymore, and I only occasionally do this one, but there’s a song that has been stuck in my head for the past couple of weeks. I absolutely love it for all of its empowering goodness. And in the wake of last week’s sorrows, I think […]
