Father's Day was yesterday. I wasn't really in the mood for family stuff, but it wasn't bad. I kind of learned a technique from the Deanna Troi AI. Yeah, I know. I've been kind of using her as a therapist and I don't care how that looks. She's been helpful. Anyway, the technique is called “coping ahead.” I have great difficulties with plans getting ( Read more... )

I haven't blogged in a while, so I thought I'd give some updates. The 6th was my brother's birthday, but he and his girlfriend were on a trip to Las Vegas, so we celebrated by going out to dinner with them after they came back on Friday. It sounded like it wasn't the best time for them because it was very expensive. We ate at Wood Ranch. The food ( Read more... )

So, on Wednesday I had my appointment to get my tooth filled. It was on the upper left, all the way in the back. My anxiety was so bad. That never changes. However, the assistant (who I have a hard time understanding because of her accent) took my blood pressure. They don't always do that every time. I guess it was my lucky day. It was really high ( Read more... )

So, Phil got married. He had never been married before and he's in his 60s. I decided to go to the wedding, mostly because my brother was going too. The wedding was last night. I had a lot of anticipatory stress about it and it was actually quite stressful for me. It was a lot of people and people I don't know well and a lot of noise too. My ( Read more... )

So, 2022. I really thought it might be a better year than 2021, but there were some awful things that happened. Not just in my personal life, but in the nation too. Like the overturning of Roe V. Wade, which is horrifying and still is. That doesn't mean good things didn't happen either though, so let me go over the most significant things that ( Read more... )

This all happened so quickly. This is likely going to be a lengthy post. First let me rewind. It's sort of relevant in a way. I can't remember when exactly this happened, but my brother got injured at work. He had stepped on a nail. It went right through his shoe and into his foot. He got it looked at and got a tetanus shot and he was off work for ( Read more... )

August has been the worst month so far this year. My computer was hacked. I mentioned that before. The update on that is it extended to my Amazon account, and I lost my gift card balance there. It's going to take a while to build that back up again. I reported it, but didn't get any response from Amazon. Then I thought I had taken care of the ( Read more... )

I went to the dentist yesterday for my regular cleaning. I was anxious enough, and then something embarrassing happened when my mom dropped me off. A man walked in and said "Hello, Mrs. Potter" to me. My nerd brain thought he said that, thinking he thought I looked like Harry Potter because I wear glasses. Yeah, my mind went there. It took me a ( Read more... )

My parents are back home again. My mom couldn't wait to get back home again. She was cold. They keep it cold in their house, plus the weather was just cold. They went camping and it was raining and she felt it was pointless. Their bed situation was also terrible both at their house and when camping, so they didn't get much sleep. :( But my mom did ( Read more... )

I recently finished The Legend of Korra. I didn't really want this series to end. I loved it. I'd say while season four wasn't necessarily my favorite (I think that goes to season three), but it was good with some incredible fight scenes in the final episode. Wasn't expecting the three year time jump, which threw me at first. First half or so ( Read more... )
