I grew up in the Lutheran church and so today for me is also Reformation Day. Personally, I enjoy church holidays which celebrate some good old-fashioned breaking from the empire and its church. I was going to insert some Star Wars characters here but people tend to get testy about religion so I’ll just let […]

Music Is Medicine But Accessing It Has Been a Real Lifelong Trick
This week I’ve had to take a mental health break and employ my “music is medicine” mantra. At the same time, taking a break from job applications and money-scheming has caused me to reflect and marvel at the distance my same-age peers (the Oregon Trail generation) and I have traveled in regard to technology because […]
Well, We Introverts Can’t All Be Normal and Well-Adjusted 😺
I spend most of my time being a recluse and playing Sodoku. I’m an epileptic introvert who is now terrified of her brain degenerating so this is a pragmatic way to spend my time, in my electrified view. At the same time, I can’t play Sodoku all the time so I also spend a lot […]

I AM FINALLY GETTING A CHEST X-RAY AND ALSO BLOODWORK! 🙌 Wooooohooooooo!!! I am so old and decrepit I regard this as a major accomplishment. I remember when winning an award or finishing my degree gave me the same sense of accomplishment. It’s a bit sad but… how does it go? Life is what happens […]
Redundantly, What’s the Point?
I’m sure I’m not the only one who at times wonders: I just got home from private communion as I don’t attend the church services because, despite precautions taken by my church, it’s just indoors in a crowd and all this singing and talking and… I’m not someone who seeks out crowds to start with.
