This Has Been the Longest Week in Human History and It’s Somehow Still Not Over

Or am I alone in feeling this way? I got a slow start in writing this week’s blog today which means that our super shitty WiFi can’t keep up with my typing so… I type and then slowly watch the words… appear… one by one by one… So this will be short. My back-from-the-dead PC […]

Make Your Fun: Mental Health Is Relative

WELL! What a day I had last week. WEDNESDAY I started last Wednesday with being a midwife’s first patient of the day (absolutely no news to share there) and later had a pharmacist suggest I’m insane. That was funny as the woman ahead of me in line at the pharmacy with people selling drugs right […]

Mental Health and Taking a Break from Human Interaction

Remember when texting became a thing? I have friends who are a few years older than me and they have confided in me that they hate texting and miss talking on the phone. They say this to me in a hushed tone because now talking on the phone is taboo. And they have unfortunately mistaken […]

Life After

My mind is taking things into its own hands lately. I think this because on Tuesday I had some epileptic twitches in my face and through my fingers which aren’t supposed to happen. The electricity is breaking free. Oi. So I think my mind took care of that because I slept so deeply Tuesday night […]

Monday Morning Blues and Brights

I remember when it would be Sunday night and I was short and I’d be watching TV and I’d resent seeing Jessica Fletcher’s dumb face on Murder She Wrote because it meant that the next morning it would be Monday and school would start once again. I didn’t have any significant problems at school beyond […]

When Life Gives You Lemons You Smile and Say “Thanks I Hate You Sometimes You’re a Jerk”

Right. With everything that has happened and which is actively happening, it seems my weak body is simply giving up. And my mind is absolutely disgusted with it. Watching “The Greatest Events of World War II in Color” on Netflix not only gives me the chills because we can explicitly see history repeating itself in […]

Brain Scans and Your Average Medical Male Monster

Holy cats. This blog post focuses on the monster who was my former neurologist and THE MONSTER CALLED ME WHEN I WAS WRITING THE FIRST DRAFT. Therefore, I have some LIVE ACTION news in this blog post. Exciting! But I’m getting ahead of myself. Right. So I’m an epileptic. Been epileptic since I was twelve. […]

Anniversaries and Holidays Which Evoke All Emotions

When you experience loss, you suddenly have new days to dread. Or celebrate. It depends on how you’re coping with your loss. I honestly don’t know anyone who genuinely looks forward to a death anniversary like “OH WOW IT’S ALMOST THE DAY MOM DIED. I CAN’T WAIT TO CELEBRATE HER!!!” but I’m sure you’re out […]

The Beyond

On the first night we viewed and then signed the papers to buy our Madison house, it felt haunted. When I went upstairs to turn off the hallway light, I felt the air thicken and move around me in an unnatural way. Thrilled, I ran downstairs, delighted that we were going to buy a haunted […]
