Thinking about myself as a teen college student and feeling like I should send some professors apologies…lol If they are still alive. Sadly, most of my favorites have died. I thought I sounded excited when I sounded arrogant. I thought, when they said treat them as peers, that I should treat them the way theContinue reading “Reflecting on my teenage self; she didn’t know she really was alien.”

My Dragonkin Friend and an Adventure in the Park
When Aiden was six, a friend of mine was diagnosed with terminal cancer. She called me to ask me to help her with her autistic children. I had no idea I was autistic too, which is hysterical to me now. One afternoon her 8 year old missed the bus, and I had to take hisContinue reading “My Dragonkin Friend and an Adventure in the Park”
A New Voice In My Head Emerged This Morning.
Her name is Sheila and her favorite color is amethyst. I tried to type this story up earlier, and had my husband read it. He got it, and I deleted it instead of publishing it because seven planets are in retrograde and my butt chakra hurts, or some shit. I don’t know. What I doContinue reading “A New Voice In My Head Emerged This Morning.”
I successfully avoided my feelings all day, until my sissy of the heart told me how I was really feeling. I managed to hold onto my denial until Keith came in and started infodumping about German goth rock. Bless him, but I have no audio or visual for many of the words he dumped, andContinue reading
Imagining Universal Income and how it might change society/culture.
This longish exploration of my thinking starts sad/mad and ends hopeful. I think. 😁. Sparked by reading about Dahmer’s father…and ends with a brief thought about the Bible I’ll explore more later… I have felt passionately, since I was a young child, that parents are to blame when children murder. But now, at 42, IContinue reading “Imagining Universal Income and how it might change society/culture.”
My State of Mind Today
Halfway through 2023
Our little Stitch turned 6 yesterday. We celebrated by playing with him, watching Curious George as a family on the couch. He likes chocolate chip cookies, so I got a giant one as his cake. He licked all the icing off, and is saving the cookies for some unknown future time they may taste better,Continue reading “Halfway through 2023”
I’m tired of fighting with my sister.
If my sister trusted me, I could just tell her my perspective and she could compare it with hers and ask questions to clear up any disparity. My best friend said she trusted me because we have so much good history, and this is the first time I have lashed out at her, ever. AndContinue reading “I’m tired of fighting with my sister.”
In exploring my family history, I better understand myself.
As it turns out, my aunt had to work when her big sister went into labor with me. My grandmother attended my mother in the hospital. She and my mother have both passed now. My grandmother married a dairy farmer in the late 50s in Maryland. Mom was their first child, followed by twins twoContinue reading “In exploring my family history, I better understand myself.”
Gentle Discipline and the PTSD Demon
2020 was a monstrous year for this mommy. I couldn’t stop screaming at the kids. I couldn’t calm down. I couldn’t pause and think. I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t eat. I couldn’t stop crying. I lost 160 pounds in eight months, and my psychiatrist didn’t notice…but that’s a rant for another day. In that stateContinue reading “Gentle Discipline and the PTSD Demon”
