In the last post, I talked about how difficult it was for me to make buying decisions at a certain price point. Under twenty bucks, not a problem. Buying for my cat, well, it’s a problem because he’s become incredibly picky about food, but I have no problem spending money on him. I just have… Continue Reading
I am terrible when it comes to buying big purchases. I have no problem with spending, say, $20 for three pairs of skivvies (Jockey, knit. Very comfy) without agonizing over it. By the way, we’ve gotten four or five inches of snow and it’s still falling. It’s white and fluffy and it is, indeed, a… Continue Reading
It’s snowing. We are supposed to get 4-7 inches. It’s the best kind of snow, too. Large, fulffy flakes gently wafting to the ground. I got Thai carryout yesterday so I’m set for the next few days. I am so lucky that I don’t HAVE to drive anywhere and have a guy to plow. Therefore,… Continue Reading
It’s funny. I’m not a holdiay person or a traditional person by any means, but I cannot escape the trappings of societal beliefs surrounding certain days. New Year’s Day is one of those. I don’t know why as intellectually, I know January 1st is just another day. I don’t feel like a birthday is a… Continue Reading
I am missing an entire post. I know I wrote one for today (New Year’s Day), but I cannot find it anywhere. I have done all the tips and tricks to recall it, but it’s not to be found. So, I’ll mentally brush it off and move on. We’re still talking about my goals for… Continue Reading
It’s New Year’s Eve. We are almost into 2024, which is weird as fuck. I have declared September 3rd, 2021 as my re-birthday, which means that I am two years old and heading into my third year of re-birth. I’ve been thinking it’s time for a change. A shift in my way of thinking, if… Continue Reading
In the last post, I talked about my mother and how she was not going to change. Which means it’s up to me to adjust how I react to her. Before I ended up in the hospital, I had managed to find a faux-equilibrium. I say faux because I still did not want to deal… Continue Reading
Ok. It’s Thursday. For some reason, I thought it was Friday (which it’ll be when this is posted), but it’s not. Time is weird and time is strange. I got more than eight hours of sleep last nigt, which is good because my sleep has been spotty for the past few days. We’re coming up… Continue Reading
I don’t believe in New Year’s resolutions. I have tried them in the past, but I find it too much pressure. It’s because the tendency is to go big and to go hard for a week or so and then fall off. It’s why gyms sell so many memberships in the first few weeks of… Continue Reading
2022 was the year of faffing about and just taking stock of where I was. It was me being grateful to be alive and counting each day as a bonus day. It was me marveling at being not dead. I was moved to tears at times at how incredible the vista outside my window was.… Continue Reading
