Dogs, meds, mental health, politics, goals, et merde

Our youngest is turning 8 on Thursday, and we’re taking him to Legoland to celebrate. This morning Lil Bit and I met the dogsitter and his dog, in preparation for staying the day with them. I learned that huskies and australian shepherds have special fur that is double insulated – meaning it keeps them coolContinue reading “Dogs, meds, mental health, politics, goals, et merde”

The main reason I stopped drinking at 27

My story has always been that I don’t like the taste, but now that I know I’m autistic, as well as, well…when I say a diagnosis, it is a symbol that triggers the opening of a mental room and the characters of me that live in those rooms. I have not been officially diagnosed withContinue reading “The main reason I stopped drinking at 27”

How I Let Go and Let God

My mother died when I was 12, and Dad dated a psychic after she died. That psychic foresaw me becoming a writer and a tarot reader. And my 13 year old brain accepted the program.  My suffering meant something.  I was going to help people tell their stories, and share mine so others wouldn’t feelContinue reading “How I Let Go and Let God”

Found this on Facebook, using it to spark stories.

Ok, so… Were my special interests…Ancient Egypt, animals, Janet Jackson, Micheal to slightly lesser extent…more socially acceptable because I have boobs, or would they be socially acceptable to the penile variety of ’tism as well? I don’t know, I’ve never been accepted as I am, without masking, by a group big enough to be calledContinue reading “Found this on Facebook, using it to spark stories.”

I’m getting better at this whole identity crisis thing.

I was misdiagnosed at 19 with monopolar depression, usually called Major Depressive Disorder. I was tested so extensively at UCF’s psychology department in 2000, I thought I couldn’t possibly be autistic. My best friend, the one who’s knew me best after my mother died until I started questioning vaccine safety when I was pregnant, toldContinue reading “I’m getting better at this whole identity crisis thing.”

Reflecting on my teenage self; she didn’t know she really was alien.

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.”

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.”

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.”

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.”
