Queen of Wistful Nightmares
Still scrambling. Still confused. I’m about to drag myself downstairs to take my medication. Unfortunately, I need drugs to stay alive. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t touch any of this stuff. I’m going to avoid realityTV. After watching “Little Women: NY,” I found myself screaming at the people on the screen. Size does not dictate Continue reading

Say It, Say It… Softly

Can You Pay My Bills
So… my day was sorta off to a sucky start. Someone was allowed ahead of me for my psychiatry appointment. She put in my prescription, but the pharmacy sent me a text telling me the meds wouldn’t be available until January 2024.

Unexpected Reconnections
So… last year I got brand new glasses. Now, I’m back to wearing the old ones. How on earth that happened… it sort of takes a bit to explain. I originally looked for new glasses because I was starting to have problems seeing and part of the frames of the glasses are breaking down. Since Continue reading
