It’s Not Just Me

I might have mentioned in passing that both my wife and I suffer from mental illness, and many of our diagnoses are similar: borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders (while we both suffer from generalized anxiety disorder, I have PTSD as well). I wanted to give you an idea of what it’s like being… Read More It’s Not Just Me

A Change of Sorts

After some introspection, I have decided to retire the Three Good Things feature of this blog, effective immediately. In its place, I will be looking for no less than five good things that happen throughout my week, and post them on Sundays as part of my regular writing exercise. This change allows me to still look for… Read More A Change of Sorts

A Very Merry Re-Birthday

Today, my mother turns 21. Now, let me explain how a 21-year-old can give birth to someone in their mid-forties. It was early fall 1994, and my mother was complaining of a sore spot in her breast. She did self-exams, and found a tender place that felt like a lump. She went to her doctor,… Read More A Very Merry Re-Birthday

All Good Things …

… must come to an end, and so it was for the Great Checklist Streak of 2015. For those who are new to my blog or my social media accounts that I notify of each post, I am on disability for PTSD, borderline personality disorder, and bipolar disorder, and suffer from a handful of other… Read More All Good Things …

October 9, 2015: Three Good Things

Today has been hard, especially the evening. Going to try and make this work. 1. Even though I didn’t write it down, I got my to-do list done and then some. I was very productive today. 2. I posted something today to Facebook about how every little decision in life leads us to be at… Read More October 9, 2015: Three Good Things

Screaming Myself Awake

I remember being in my grandmother’s home. I was younger, and I was staying in one of the bedrooms upstairs. It was dark, and I don’t know why but something inside me told me to scream. It was a bloodcurdling shriek, and suddenly I was terrified where I wasn’t before – I was screaming to… Read More Screaming Myself Awake

October 8, 2015: Three Good Things

1. I had a good radio show despite the technical difficulties I dealt with. 2. I went to the store and not only didn’t freak out but initiated two separate conversations: one with someone I’ve only met a couple times in passing, and one with a total stranger. This is really not my usual thing,… Read More October 8, 2015: Three Good Things

The Frustrations Continue

I had a radio show tonight that was interrupted three times by connection failures. The person who was on following me was so stymied by her inability to stay connected to the broadcast server that she eventually threw in the towel and let an automatic streamhold cover the station. Later on in the evening, I… Read More The Frustrations Continue

October 7, 2015: Three Good Things

1. I was exceptionally productive around the house. I started in with a to-do list of four items and kept adding to it and crossing things off as I had the energy to get things done. 2. I think we’ve fixed the internet issues we were once having. We’re now regularly clocking 27/28 Mbps down… Read More October 7, 2015: Three Good Things

Morning Fun with My Personal Assistant

This morning has been spent dealing with a headache (mostly gone by now) and dinking around with Microsoft’s personal assistant, Cortana. Those of you familiar with the Halo series of computer games will recognize the name (and the voice behind it). So far, the rabbit hole has taken me to the following commands. Tell me… Read More Morning Fun with My Personal Assistant
