It’s 7 am, but still pitch black outside. Such is October. Sunrise isn’t for another half hour. I’m not in the best of moods this morning. While I sort of successfully got my sleep switched over so I’m not awake all night, now I can’t sleep for more than 2-3 hours at a time,…
Yesterday, October 10th, was World Mental Health Day. Of course I didn’t know about this until much later in the day and couldn’t really think of anything meaningful to say. Until I recalled an event from seven years ago that, while I have trouble remembering some details and is something I haven’t thought about…
Some days I amaze myself. And I’m actually able to do a thing. But today I sort of had to, so I’m not sure if it really counts as a thing. And yet, I’m exhausted enough now that I think it does count. Well then.
I was supposed to be normal today (well, now yesterday, I suppose…) I was supposed to go to the Skillet concert with David and my endo sister April and her daughter. We had box seats and everything. Sort of an early birthday present. I love Skillet and I’ve never had the chance to see…
This is, verbatim, a journal entry of mine from January 17th and 18th, 2016, back when I did a lot of writing prompts. It’s interesting to look back on now. Another writing prompt I saw online was to list out 100 things that you want. At first I thought that sounded kind of selfish,…
I think the Calvin and Hobbes cartoon is particularly fitting given the type of surgery I had and the risk for a CSF (“brain lubricant”) leak! ? This is probably going to be very befuddled because I only slept for two hours this morning before having to get up and go to my follow-up…
I wonder what it’s going to be like to feel better. That is, totally and completely better. What does it feel like to not have a headache every second of every day? I can’t recall. Or to have energy, where I don’t have to fight with myself and give myself a pep talk just…
As Hurricane Matthew bears down on Haiti and Cuba tonight, I would like to ask all my followers for prayers or happy thoughts or whatever positive energy you would like to send for the people there, especially to those in Haiti. Matthew currently is a strong category 4 hurricane with winds of 145 mph…
via Daily Prompt: Graceful I don’t usually participate in the daily prompts, but this one I couldn’t pass up. This will simply be me reminiscing about my former life, and maybe what could have been had certain events not taken place. I grew up dancing. From the age of three to the age of…
I’ve heard the stories, and I’m sure some of you have as well. Every now and then, someone in one of my Facebook support groups will post the news that her significant other is leaving because he or she can’t deal with her chronic illness. Sometimes this is a breakup; other times it means…
