I’m rather disappointed with a lot of people (especially women)  that I know. They have spent the last few days on social media discussing how “People are overacting.” or “All rights for all humans are the same as rights for Native Americans, Disabled Americans, LGBTQA+ Americans, Americans of Color, etc.” or “Yeah, Trump said gross stuff - but not ( Read more... )

So, I left my job. In a way I'm sad about it and in another, I think it was the best thing. Why ( Read more... )

I thought I would give a bit of a update on my working issues, since I saw the doctor on Wednesday. My doctor is a pill guy and basically danced around the issue that the seizures are caused by stress. But, I've been seizure free for two and a half years and was already on 1,200 MGs of the meds.

I graduated with a B.S. in Child and Family Studies back in December and have yet to find a job. I've been on several interviews, but nothing. The thing is, it seems like all entry level jobs in my area require you to drive. (Even office jobs for the front desk.) The thing is, I'm physically disabled and cannot drive ( Read more... )

My older sister came for a visit this last week. She's kept my mother and I rather busy. She's got a rather demanding personality and when we don't stop everything and cater to her. . .well, she tends to pout and tell us: "You don't love me. Nobody loves me." Frankly it's sometimes easier to give in than fight; especially as she's certainly ( Read more... )
