Busted

I think the title listed here is the perfect way to describe today. Firstly, I felt like I wasn’t even in my own body and thought everything around me had slowed down for 30 seconds. It’s scary and funny at the same time. Because when I thought everything was moving slow, I was in the Continue reading

Diminished Returns

Today was rough. I started feeling a bit “off” last night. Then today… another memorial service for another friend. It’s painful because this was an older gentleman, and he died a week after his son’s memorial service. Then another friend’s father died. And someone else lost their sister… When I got home, instead of doing Continue reading

Wisdom Most Rotten

Right now, I’m trying to be lighter on my tendons… though to be fair—I’ve had a lot I needed to do with my hands today. I have maybe another 150 words or so until my writing for NtC is done for today. But… and this is a big but… aside from my actual posterior in Continue reading

No Need To Get Up For Me

So… it’s the 15th, and I’m feeling the strain… or rather my joints are feeling the strain. It could also be general fatigue. I put in some serious effort to at least having a somewhat normal dinner at a decent hour. I succeeded, but since cooking for me takes so long… as I really enjoy Continue reading

Night & Day Entirely

I have the feeling of being windswept… not entirely in a good way. I have the number for a few new orthopedic doctors. I plan on calling the top one on the list in the morning. Because this pain is not it! I told a friend of mine tonight that I wish I could stab Continue reading

This Is A Sprint, Not A Marathon

When I look back… in a few weeks, I won’t remember the frustration and the pain and the frustration and the pain I’m experiencing by even sitting upright. The situation with my back is getting pretty bad. Or maybe that’s my perception because I was working around the house, attempting to do some chores today. Continue reading

Dark Phases

First off… Oww. My oldest cat left claw marks on me. And in me. To be fair though… it is partially—or mostly—my fault. I went ballistic when I realized the source of the stench and feces around different spots in the house… was her butthole. And yes, I said butthole, because that’s what it was. Continue reading

Falling Star

So… today, I’ve penned out 4,077 words for NtC and C&RII. I’m both surprised and happy at the same time. I’m of course still far behind, but I’m making some headway. So there’s that. I also have some ideas for additional add-ons for NtC. I had a few requests that came in. I also realized… Continue reading

Safe Distances

Not being close—well—that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Earlier this morning, I was firmly reminded of that. At times, I want to ignore the unease I’ve felt for so long… but then again, I realize that doing so makes me very uncomfortable. I have worked very hard to better my behaviors. Simplifying my life has Continue reading

You Won’t Need Other Friends Anymore

I feel less like death warmed over today. I’m not sure what happened yesterday. I didn’t use my notebook. And you know what? I probably didn’t write it down because I didn’t want to remember. Tonight, I’m going to be up, as my assignment was changed yesterday morning. I’m also dealing with general groans and Continue reading
