Changes Feel Weird Sometimes
Changes feel very strange sometimes when it holds up a mirror to past behavior and it leaves you wondering how did I get here? Why was I like that? So what am I talking about? Well, now that we have all of this food in the house and under orders to eat I, we have been confronted with how warped our food thinking is.
Here is an example...last night I ( Read more... ) -
The Poorer White Man
So, today I have been confronted with being what I categorize as The Poorer White Woman. Now, this came about because of one visit to see a Benefits Coordinator, Mary Garland, at AllHealth. I told her I had the SSI and SSDI issue being worked on. She did inform me that my lawyer for SSDI who told me I wasn't eligible is wrong and a bad lawyer and ( Read more... ) -
Okay, I know by posting this I put a target on my back
It is such a charged subject that I am hesitant to broach it, but I am disturbed by the reaction that I am seeing by people I love and respect. In the wake of yet another school shooting, there are cries of “ban guns!!” and “we need better mental health care!!” I get it. I understand their outrage and righteous indignation and being upset at a ( Read more... ) -
Senseless Attacks, Not Even For A Deranged Cause
I had a bad night. Nightmares about a shooting in a medical clinic and trying to escape and protect my family. I woke to the even worse horrors of the Las Vegas shooting. I remember how I felt about Columbine, 9/11, the 2004 Tsunami and it was sheer horror and a sense of the devastation manifesting in me, my own storm of emotions that crushed me, ( Read more... ) -

In the wake of so much
In the wake of so many horrible things happening and so much coming to term in my life, i find myself in a weird kind of funk. Lexi calls it Melancholy: the condition of being sad but curiously content about it. I suppose it's that I don't know that there is anything to DO about it. As I think long and hard about the state of humanity today, I ( Read more... ) -
Sometimes a plan just comes together on it's own
Well, I got the job. Apparently I may have already had it before I had the interview thanks to my friend, Lexi, who works there already. But there are cherries on top. Not only am I a triple threat so she has all the nail tech out of me she could want but I also can pick up any other slack in skin, blowouts, education, etc., but it turns out she ( Read more... ) -
Just Watched This Week Tonight With John Oliver...
So, I just watched a talk show episode on Comedy Central intended to address the issue of Transgender rights at DMVs, in the military, at public restrooms and other places where their gender shouldn't make any damned difference because, well, it just fucking doesn't. I heard obsurd arguements from politicos talking about, well, frankly their own ( Read more... ) -
The Week I Had - Why Me?
My week was stacked against me and the tech sheet wasn't getting finished by far. I was told I woud be Inventory Control Coordinator on Thursday so there was one more day of nothing. I was told that we were blocked out until 10:30 to get ready for the Pin-up competition so I came in early hoping to knock something out before I was stuck in the ( Read more... ) -
The Braid Business
So I need to get a banner sign made for this endeavor, but what to put on it? I am taking suggestions and these below are recommendations that have been offered by friends. Please vote for your top three and definitely recommend! It needs to convey that it is a braiding booth and sound appropriate for SCA/RenFaire type events and isn't too skewed ( Read more... )
