I’m Not Dead Yet But I Don’t Think I’ll Take A Walk, Yet

Well, life changed in a big way. I got employment. I got my own apartment. I forced my ex to agree to 50/50 custody for the summer. My mental health improved significantly. I started dabbling with dating. My writing habit got derailed. We were supposed to have a final hearing for the divorce in September. … Continue reading I’m Not Dead Yet But I Don’t Think I’ll Take A Walk, Yet →

Intense

Things have been intense and it's getting in the way of me finishing the updates I set out to write. I'm still here, still dealing with life and still moving forward to the best of my ability. As soon as I get the energy and focus to finish an entry, I'll be publishing an update.

Thank You

There are a few people that have interacted with me here on a regular basis this year, and those interactions helped. There are times when I think about the fact that there are 7.5+ billion people on Earth, and yet at any given moment I cease to exist to anyone but myself. It's not a … Continue reading Thank You →

After Dark

The party of fellow travelers was gone. We knew they'd been set upon by the shadow creatures last night and the survivors of the initial attack had been chased from the river to here, where they made their last stand. There had been clubs by the river, lying on the ground, the only sign that … Continue reading After Dark →

Venting

I try not to waste anger on my mom and the choices she made about how she raised me and educated me. Right now, though, it's a little difficult not to feel hurt, sad and angry. I worked up the courage to place a phone call to the Electrical Training Institute to clarify their application … Continue reading Venting →

The Good, the Bad, the Ugly

Starting off with the good - I had my PowerPoint workshop last night. It doesn't seem too difficult. Most of the class involved the instructor showing us all the nifty little things that can be done and then telling us for the love of God, please don't, less is more. I also got confirmation that … Continue reading The Good, the Bad, the Ugly →

Emotion And Logic Are Not Enemies / Opposites

I got lost down a rabbit hole of personality tests thanks to having visited the INTP subreddit (thanks to a mention of said forum by fellow blogger Blunt Japanese Woman). I understand said tests are an imperfect and often unscientific way of categorizing people, but I also find that I can learn things about myself, … Continue reading Emotion And Logic Are Not Enemies / Opposites →

Snap Judgments

I have a tendency to make some snap judgments based on face and body language, especially when it comes to men - a sort of active threat assessment. Today while out for my early morning walk I passed a ruddy, middle-aged jogger twice my size and he greeted me with a hearty good morning and … Continue reading Snap Judgments →

An Assortment of Photos

I'm so proud of myself, and shouldn't be. I finally figured out how to put an image inside a post and it was so easy it's pretty clear I should have figured it out months ago. So, um, I guess I'm going to devote this post to sharing some pictures that would have made it … Continue reading An Assortment of Photos →

Indiana Needs A Hug

I don't know why but I like Indiana better because it's kind of terrible and sad but in a really pathetic, rather than grandiose, way. (I think it's because I feel like Indiana has no room to judge me. Kind of like how if I show up to Walmart in a sweaty tank top with … Continue reading Indiana Needs A Hug →
