  • Hiding Illness

    April 10, 2016 / 0 Comments

    It’s a bad one this time.  It comes and it goes… and in between sometimes there’s mania.  This is a “come.” It’s not like it used to be, where there were no islands of sanity at all.  I suppose I’m grateful for that…at other times. I was manic.  Now I’m depressed.  Vacations are good, but hard on the brain.  And then my sleep has been rough.  I’ve been doing everything right, mostly.  My diet isn’t perfect right now… but compared to normal people, my diet is ridiculously good.  It’s probably hilarious that I consider it a “bad day” on my diet when I eat tomatoes and put paprika on my…

  • Home Again

    April 4, 2016 / 0 Comments

    I went on vacation for the last week…without Sir and sub brother.  It was a good trip, even if it was stressful at times.  Sir patiently responded to my texts and always somehow said the right thing… even though it was technically his vacation time with sub brother…  He doesn’t delineate that way, but I always do in my head somehow. Anyway, I made it home and I’m transitioning off of being on vacation. Transitioning back to work schedule.  Having a little disequilibrium.  Today Sir came home with flowers…  Aww…

  • Passive Voice Zombies

    March 23, 2016 / 0 Comments

    Because I’m a grammar nerd (among other nerd categories) I totally love this trick I just heard for identifying passive voice.  If you can add “by zombies” after the verb in a sentence, that sentence is in passive voice. I was told (by zombies) to write a post in my blog. My car was buried (by zombies) during the blizzard. Isn’t that the greatest??  I love it! I may be avoiding writing serious posts right now…  or is that…  Writing serious posts is being avoided (by zombies) on this blog right now…

  • Hacked!

    March 12, 2016 / 1 Comment

    So…  my WordPress account was hacked and infected with malware.  This led to it being shut down until I could correct the problem.  I received the notification about a month ago and didn’t do anything about it (Sir says we’ll be discussing that later…) but I figured it wasn’t as if anybody was going to notice anyway.  And I couldn’t really get up the enthusiasm to deal with it.

  • Sickerness

    So walking pneumonia rapidly became ambulance ride and tubes in my arms pneumonia.  Terrific.   And it wasn’t my fault!  I took the antibiotics and rested and drank fluids!  I didn’t bring it on!  The ER said that pneumonia is just like that…

  • Being Sick with Sir…

    So… I managed to get a summer pneumonia, how stupid is that?  Sir took today off work to stay home and take care of me, which is sweet, as long as I don’t punch him…

  • End of an Era

    May 21, 2015 / 0 Comments

    I realize it’s been over a year since I posted here.  I’ve been busy.  I have a new job, though it’s now a year old.  Today was the last day of the year, it’s summer break. I’m having a rough night from the drop… and from anxiety.  But it’s happy anxiety in some ways.  I trusted someone I work with.  I’ve trusted him all year, he’s been kind and compassionate, fun, and always felt safe.  Safe in the ways that… are intangible but so necessary to someone like me.  He’s always felt safe.  I doubt he knows or would understand if I told him, what that means or what it…
