Hiatus

I know I haven’t been present much lately. After this entry, I’ll probably be gone for awhile again. I may come back for my end of the year survey. I’m debating whether or not to upload my diary...

Part Deux

I guess it’s Wednesday now. So that would mean tomorrow is Thursday. Amazing how that works, isn’t it? Ha! Do to life happening, it’s been almost a year since I got the first part of my tattoo. T...

2016 End of Year survey

I might as well do this now. I don’t think much else is going to change in the next, er, six days. Also, I apparently haven’t written anything since July, so maybe I should do that. And good ridd...

School days

What year did you graduate? Based on other questions, I’m going to assume we are referring to high school. 2002. Did you know your spouse? Seeing as how I don’t have one of those, and at 32 years...


I am though. Completely and totally lost. I’ve felt angry, and sad, and just completely hopeless since my brother died. It’s coming up on two years now. I really thought at some point my life wou...


I saw this comment on a Facebook post tonight. It really sums up my life right now. I haven’t made any huge changes yet, so far they’ve all been fairly insignificant. Maybe they’ll lead to bigger...

Life

I have to get up to go to work soon and I haven’t even attempted sleep yet. I know the nightmares will come tonight. I don’t want to go to sleep. Life has been kicking my ass again lately. I’ll t...

I used to be smart

Sometimes I wonder where my brain ran off to. Then I remember it was kidnapped by my migraine meds and is being held for ransom. My lack of intelligence these days scares me sometimes. I have thr...


My birthday is this month. It should be a time for fun and celebration, right? I’ve now lost all three of my grandfathers in the month of April. Almost exactly a year apart from each other too. 2...

Nothing

He passed shortly before eleven last night. I was alone with him. Again. Why am I always alone with them when they go? He was a Marine. He passed at the VA. I’ve never seen them do the eight bell...

Don't mind me

I’m going to throw myself a pity party a moment here. Please pay me no mind. I would really like to make it just one full year without losing anyone. My last grandfather, the one I live with, the...

As seen on facebook

I’ve heard a lot of great reasons over the years as to why I’m “updatable.” I’m being sarcastic of course. I thought they were pretty shitty reasons (even if they were probably true). I saw this ...

Work

I’m meeting with my bosses from the gas station in the morning. I may be going back. The main reason I left was for benefits, but it just isn’t worth it. I’ve never come to loathe a job so quickl...


Easy. I’m overqualified. Seriously. That is one of the most annoying questions that I get asked entirely too often. In other news: when is life going to cut me some slack? I mean seriously. If th...

This started as a comment

Depression effects everyone differently. Don’t let anyone ever tell you that you don’t know what it feels like. It feels different to everyone (although your description is pretty damn good). I’...

Bittersweet

It’s nearly 2 AM and I’m still wide awake. I blame Starbucks. ;-) I ordered a smoked butterscotch Frappuccino this afternoon and ended up with a smoked butterscotch latte. When I said something,...

Faint of Heart

I mentioned in my previous entry that there are a couple of country songs I’ve discovered at work that I don’t hate. This is one of them. Hey little girl climbing high up in that tree Muddy bare...

Blogging debate

I’m the night manager at a local gas station. I know, I know. I manage to find the most glamorous jobs. I really need to find something else because I really need health insurance again (these mi...

Celebrity

We hear about the lives of celebrities every day, whether we want to or not. Often times, we hear of their passing and think, “Oh how sad,” and move on with our day. Once in a great while, we he...

Dogs

Just by the way Jazz acts sometimes and the weird things she’s afraid of, we’re pretty sure she was abused by her previous owner. She’s gotten a lot better over the years, but sometimes she just ...

2015 End of the year survey

What did you do in 2015 that you’d never done before? ~ Drove cross country (I’ve road tripped to California before, but this time I did all of the driving), drove in rush hour traffic in South...


Book Description

I’ve been having issues with my judgement family on Facebook, so I guess it’s time to get more serious about writing again. I haven’t written regularly since college just because I’ve gotten better at coping with my life. I guess maybe I’m back.
