You Have Textbook Anatomy
This counts as the nicest and strangest compliment I’ve ever received. I’ve been complimented about my cooking, my baking and singing, artwork, my writing, along with looking younger than my age… and even for still having my teeth, but this one stands out by being one of the most shocking comments I’ve received. I got… Continue reading

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. I headed home, decided to play with my kitten to wear her out… Continue reading
