A couple of days ago, H linked a youtube video about the game Dragon Age: Origins from a youtuber that goes by The Spiffing Brit. I tried watching it at bedtime, with the attitude that I'd turn it off if it seemed like a youtube video was too much stimulation while trying to relax for … Continue reading Brains Are Weird

Update: Interpersonal “Fun”
I went to my first meet-up today. When I got home I found that my husband was in a very bad mood. I'll admit, I'm not innocent on that one. I was so upset with how he'd acted yesterday that I told him where I was going, when, for what, and sent him a selfie … Continue reading Update: Interpersonal “Fun”
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished
I'm finding it grimly amusing that trying to convince my husband to see a therapist seems to be backfiring on all fronts. I genuinely wanted him to get help and healing and learn how to move forward with his life in healthy ways, but I'm reminded that no therapist can help someone that doesn't think … Continue reading No Good Deed Goes Unpunished
Interpersonal “Fun”
So, Thursday afternoon I was dreading Friday, because Friday was when my husband and I were going to have our end of the month check-in, and I was going to have to bring up finances. I decided I'd try and do something positive that would give me something to look forward to later, as that … Continue reading Interpersonal “Fun”
Catching Up On The Week
Wednesday evening, I got a message from (Indiana) M asking if I'd mind coming over Thursday morning and helping her do some packing. This was something I'd already offered, but she probably wouldn't have taken me up on it if it hadn't been for the fact that she had the flu for two days and … Continue reading Catching Up On The Week
Potter’s Bridge
Getting a bit behind here. I've been dealing with heightened anxiety and depression this week, as well as having had the Excel training course Monday night through Thursday night, and it left me with less energy for recording events here. Wednesday morning I decided I wanted to go for a walk somewhere other than my … Continue reading Potter’s Bridge
Errands, Etc.
Yesterday I finally felt the chill of fall in the air, and it gave me an emotional high. I got quietly hyper. I needed to go to the Sprint store to have my phone's battery checked, but it was going to require a bit of a drive as not all stores handle warranty services. I … Continue reading Errands, Etc.
Comforting
Yesterday evening I gave myself 40 minutes to get to the Excel training course, and nearly panicked when I ran into traffic even worse than what I'd been expecting. Luckily, it turned out to only be that backed up for about 3 intersections, and then thinned considerably, so that I ended up making the trip … Continue reading Comforting
First Day of Fall
I woke up this morning anxious about whether or not a spot would open up for the Excel training course. I did not want to have to wait until November or later to be able to proceed with contacting temp / recruitment agencies. Still, there was nothing I could do but wait to hear from … Continue reading First Day of Fall
Sunday’s Visit to South Bend
I closed out summer on a good note yesterday by driving up to South Bend to meet my friend R in person for the first time. It was a gorgeous sunny morning and the hundred plus miles of highway I drove passed primarily through pretty, placid rural land. I was certainly in a much better … Continue reading Sunday’s Visit to South Bend
