After the past couple of crazy weeks, I finally have a few days off in a row to rest, take care of myself, and pursue my own endeavors. So what happens the first day? Sore throat. Wicked bad sore throat. The kind where if I’m not constantly swallowing and eating ice cream and downing liquids […]

This past week has been quite an emotional roller coaster. I’ve been sobbing and panicking and in tremendous pain, but I’ve also been supported and loved on all sides. This happened to be the busiest week I’ve had in months, probably years, as every single day was filled with at least one if not two […]

What with Dr. I’mnotlooking’s decision to give me no pain killers that I couldn’t just go out and get on my own without the office visit and dealing with the leftover lube they toss all around my lower extremities, I’ve been crying pretty much non stop since I left his office. Not because he hurt […]

Finally. FINALLY. 5 years since my last operation, and 2 years since we expected coverage, our health insurance kicked in. I just got back from my first visit with my new Gyno. And I’m BAWLING MY FOOL HEAD OFF and sitting in my jammies and canceling all my plans for the day because I plan […]

Dear Anonymous Comment Leaver who suggests I’m bi-polar, First of all, let me just say that you managed to come off as a very very sweet and caring person despite the grenade you were handling. I have no doubt that you meant absolutely no offense and found yourself in the tricky position of, “someone should […]

I’m freaking out a little bit over here. We leave town Friday night to fly down to the OC to do a quick weekend Christmas visit with Bear’s parents. And I have to have everything finished by then. And I’m no where close. And my friend is coming over tonight for help with a lesson […]

Working in the creative industry, December is typically the month from hell for me. Every deadline is December 25th. Clients all want their stuff for Christmas, I always end up way overextending myself with homemade gifts and church commitments, both my and Bear’s birthday are this month, plus I would die inside if I couldn’t […]

On the last day it was due, I finally finished my Photoshop class and took the final with a 94%. Yeah me! I’m so overwhelmed with relief that I can’t even face sleep, even though I’ve been putting it off for a few days now. I was planning on finishing my last class late last […]

So here’s what I’ve been working on lately: In September I signed up for an online Photoshop course, since not knowing that program has stalled my career in every direction. And of course, once I signed up for it I promptly put it off and tried to forget all about it. The final exam is […]
