It Was A Scary Time
After my grandma died, my granddad needed help. I already lived with them, so I dropped out of college to get a job and help him pay bills. I also had to learn how to do laundry, grocery shop, cook more than eggs or oatmeal and balance a checkbook and deal with checks. Back then,… Continue reading

Yikes All Around
I’m confused. That’s not an unusual thing for me, but having unexpected glitches—that’s not normal. Two days ago, I wasted time sitting up for hours trying to get apps to stop crashing. Then, I went off a suggestion and struggled to make a brand new account. The new account was fine, which meant that for… Continue reading

Just Some Stuff That I Used To Know
One of my absolute favorite hobbies is writing. Writing is time consuming, but it’s still enjoyable. I have my Nanowrimo 2013, 2015 and 2023 T-shirts from the national competition. NanoWrimo challenge for November: Write 50,000 words in 30 days. At one point, my dad asked what the prize was. I explained that you can purchase… Continue reading

How Could You Ever Know?
I know how poorly I will handle it when my dad dies. It nearly broke me completely when my mom died. Possessions aren’t the same as people though. But, it might hurt about the same. I have an emotional attachment to quite a few of my items. I even have an attachment to my box… Continue reading

It’s An Every/Other Day Thing
I am very shy and uncomfortable around others–in person. Because I have hearing problems, I miss a large chunk of what people are saying in front of me if they turn away. … or if I’m over two feet away. Sometimes, I have problems understanding on the phone too. Now that I have worsening memory… Continue reading

Quiet
Very quiet and less stressful. Now… if you mean absolutely no computers at all… I would say a natural disaster. No computers at all: Saying “no computers” can mean a lot depending on the person. ~J. Lyst Continue reading

I Can’t Be Alone In This…
I wish I could learn how to whistle. I’ve only been able to do it in reverse, which is not the point. I’ve seen people whistle with two fingers… no clue how on earth they do that. The most I’ve been able to do is chirp like a bird. Learned that from mimicking a parakeet… Continue reading

“Do You Think I’m Fat?”
Today’s inappropriate title and resulting blog post have been inspired by what my innocent eyeballs and ears… took in. Yes, inappropriate. You have been warned. And I’m… still laughing. This has got to be one of the worse questions to answer, but I was pretty tactless when I was asked that years ago. I’m technically… Continue reading

Thumbedy
Did I break my thumb? Did I strain it?? It has been a MONTH now and my thumb still hurts! I’ve no clue how to deal with this… I’m using my right hand to use the space bar and spacing my fingers differently so I don’t have to use that thumb as much. Next week,… Continue reading

What I Could Or What I Should?
I should and could start doing meal prep all over again. It’ll help me be less stressed out when the time comes to heat up something to eat. I used to do that all the time and stored the food in bento boxes. I had debated tossing them since I’m not longer doing batches…. but… Continue reading
