Aside from all the other bad, difficult and challenging things, and the madness and depression of my life the past several months, my computer broke down a little over a month ago. Since my situation does not afford me the possibility of even trying to see if it could be fixed, or of getting a new one, I am still without a computer, and expect to ( Read more... )

I'm only sharing this because, honestly, it's too good not to.

This morning while on the toilet I notice two big bruises and some light scratches just below my left hip: "Oh my god! What the f--… Oh wait. Right. I fell from a tree yesterday."

I thought I was going to be skyping with a friend, so beforehand, I figured I'd make sure the lighting was okay - that my computer and myself were both angled in a way that allowed for the lighting to work okay, because my computer is right next to a window that gets the sunlight, and it was sunny out, so I wanted to make sure the angles didn't ( Read more... )

You know, I'm getting really fucking sick and tired of losing so much of my life to being sick and tired because in one way or another my body is the enemy I have to fight with every single day.
