  • Hello, again!

      Well, this isn’t really correct, either. Once again, friends online inspired me to come back here and post the occasional proof of life. Except…at this exact moment in time I have no idea what I’d want to talk about. I’ll get there eventually. You’ve stuck around this long, you can wait a little while…

  • Three Fewer Leopard Spots

    Genetics blessed (lol) me with LOTS of birthmarks. None of them are/were huge. The biggest was smaller than a jellybean in circumference. I’ve had three of them removed over the years. The first was when I was 14. After a childhood of being tormented by other kids about it, my mother finally agreed to have…

  • When Spoons Just Won’t Cut The Description – Let’s Use Elevators Instead

    One of the hardest things to do at times is to be open to other people coming into your world emotionally. It can be exhausting. A lot of people don’t understand what that’s like. You can use the spoons theory, but that on its own requires an explanation. Me being the complete and total genius…

  • Suggested Topic: Mental Health & Chronic Pain

    I’m not good at prompting myself to write, so I posted on twitter asking for subject ideas. This was the first suggestion. Thanks, husband! It’s been known for longer than any of us have been alive that the brain and the body work together in ways we understand as well as those we don’t.  One…

  • Repost: Nix’s Unplanned Prescription Withdrawal

    This was originally posted 2018, Aug 03 I am slightly over a month away from the one year mark of my unintended benzo withdrawal. It has really been on my mind lately. I lost the majority of my memories from last fall and part of last winter. I still have memory issues. Hang on, I’m…

  • A Lesson in Consequences

    When I was a kid, somewhere between 6 and 10, a friend had a sleepover birthday party. It had the usual parts of said party, and at one point the birthday girl wanted to watch a movie or show or something, so we were all crowded in front of a TV. I freaked out. Like,…

  • People Remember Things You Say to Them

    The last relationship I was in before husband did not end well. The funny thing is that what stuck with me is not the one you’d expect. For the sake of this story, let’s call him Sterling. That is not his name but I’m not going to give that here. I do know he was…

  • Rob Dyrdek is correct: you are stronger when you are drunk

    Once, many years ago in Tucson, I went with some friends to the drive-in movie. We were there with two or three other cars full of people. Between the two movies, a guy I don’t know opens my back door and then proceeds to basically rip out a chunk of my back seat (that was…
