  • Holy Sh#T! It’s July!

    Holy Sh#T! It’s July!

    How did this happen? How is the year halfway over? I have no idea but it is.

    I am that much closer to Forty, OMG! I am not overly worried about turning forty, but there are certain things I would like to do before that birthday hits. I would like to get closer to my weight loss goal, if not hit it. I would like to find a new job that allows me to use my degree any at all. I would like to get more regular with my writing schedule. So many things.

    I am a woman who likes to set goals, and gets a thrill when I reach them. I am also a woman who is prone to procrastination. Take procrastination and add on the pandemic and suddenly I am barely a functioning person.

    Anxiety and depression are rearing their heads for me in a big way and I am having trouble convincing myself that I should reach out to my PCP for help. Sometimes at times like this calling to make an appointment feels like an impossible task. I will get there and make the call, just not quite yet.

    On a plus my little sister surprised me with a little planter the other day that is Albert Einstein, so I bought a tiny succulent for it. It looks amazing and kinda like Albert is wearing a black sweatband.

  • Day 4 of the Hostage Situation (Keeping calm in the world of Covid-19)

    Day 4 of the Hostage Situation (Keeping calm in the world of Covid-19)

    How are you all holding up? I will be honest I am alternating between being super anxious and being laissez faire. Thanks Anxiety and Depression. This is also proving to me exactly how extroverted I am. Truly it isn’t so bad currently, but the thought of how much longer this will last and how many things are being cancelled is daunting, disappointing and, well, depressing.

    On the positive side I have started a pen pal group for the Wenches. And will be writing to another lovely friend as well. I have so many books to read that I can work my way through, and I have a stationary bike I can use for exercise. Things are truly not all doom and despair but things are very different and it may take me a minute to adjust.

    I need to find the motivation to write and to make art, but currently my axiety is too high for that. Hopefully I can snap out soon.

    Stay sane my friends.

    If you would like to be a pen pal as well feel free to message me your address and I will gladly send a letter.
