And I mean that title in many ways, but first, the housekeeping. I have not written in 2 years, and to be fair to myself, the last 2 years have been HARD, and the next 10-12 months may continue to be hard. More on that in a minute. I am starting to chase a new … Continue reading Let’s Jump In!
Hello all, Monday was the day we were all waiting to celebrate along with Betty (along with celebrating the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.), but alas, she isn't here on earth to join us anymore. So, let's all celebrate in her honor! To do that, I am going to jump on the bandwagon … Continue reading #BettyWhiteChallenge
Hey everyone! This won't be a long post, but I wanted to hop on and just give you all a bit of an update since it has been a little while. Grad school has officially started! Woohoo! I was able to get a week's worth of work done before the session actually started, which ended … Continue reading This dream I have
Ahhhhh, the sweet smell of returning to work after the holidays... I know I'm not alone in the fact that the holidays somehow felt harder this year. I was quite blue. I tried to write a few times here, but it all came out sounding whiny and childish. I did promise to share the good, … Continue reading Welcome back to the grind
Hello friends! I don't think I've mentioned it here yet that I got into grad school at Cal Baptist! I'm so excited, but I'm also a little scared if I'm being honest. I keep remembering how hard it was to go back and get my bachelor's degree. I struggled hard. If any readers were here … Continue reading Here we go again
https://youtu.be/I2oel0_Xa54 Well, maybe, anyway. I'm at least here, touching base with everyone to update you if you haven't been able to stay current on my story through social media (since I'm terrible at reaching out). This year has seen some real highs and some deep lows. Some of the highest highs were completing the adoption … Continue reading And we’re back!
Hey friends! I'm finally taking the time to write again. So much has happened and it wasn't that I didn't want to be transparent, it was just that living it day in and day out took all of my energy. I can't remember where I was when I wrote last, but I'm pretty sure it … Continue reading Finally an Update!
Oh what an unwelcome companion is anxiety. I have been having panic attacks again, which are no fun! Mostly related to school, but also related to the fact that I am changing medications yet again. While the Invega has been helping some with getting certain aspects of my mania under control such as my spending, … Continue reading Anxiety
Wow, friends, it has certainly been a while. The last time I checked in with everyone on here was May. I'm sorry for the disconnection. It has been a summer I've spent in recovery, of a sort. Recovery from my failures, from my anxiety (though that's not even close to gone), from my over-extension of … Continue reading Been a while
Don't you hate it when you realize things, finally, that seem like they should have been so obvious all along? I do. Maybe it's because I'm so self-critical that I can't really be happy that I finally realized them, I can only see the time I've lost by NOT realizing them sooner. I'm working on … Continue reading Today’s realization
