So, I think I bought that house today--providing it passes inspection and I sell mine.

So, I want a new house, which is dumb. Our 1970's split level actually fits our family much better than I ever imagined. And technically, I want an old house. A big, rambly house with character. I spent longer than I should have resenting this house, but after eight years it has kind of grown on me. Then one of my best friends bought an awesome old ( Read more... )

I have known since he was elected that my mom doesn't like the president. I never expected she would, she's pretty conservative. However, she is not stupid, so I figure she doesn't like him because of actual facts. No. I find out that she thinks he is evil, wants to destroy the Constitution, and wants to turn the United States into a Muslim nation ( Read more... )

Apparently I officially have fibromyalgia and pretty much I have to just suck it up and deal, which I have been doing for years anyways. So, there I go. One interesting thing that popped up in the testing is that I've had mono at some point in my life. The sad thing is that I've had several bouts of prolonged exhaustion, so I can't even figure out ( Read more... )

I have my first cold of the season. Yay. That on top of the depression that is still kicking me just leaves me utterly exhausted. I've switched allergy meds, it doesn't seemed to make much of a difference. Pretty sure I'll be looking at switching depression meds in Jan.--if I make it that far without calling her in desperation.

On the fibromyalgia ( Read more... )

I have been in a blah space lately. On the plus side that means that the anxiety that was making life difficult for a while is gone. Now I just don't really have the emotional or physical energy to care about much. It really amps up my procrastination, though. I have several things on my plate that I need to do. Actually, maybe I need to hand one ( Read more... )

I haven't posted here in a million years, so I have no idea if anyone will read this. I just need to get it out, which was the original intent of this journal anyway.

I've been diagnosed with fibromyalgia--sort of. The sort of part is that my doctor did it here in my livingroom instead of in her office. I had gone in asking for something to help ( Read more... )

So I finally did it. I officially stepped away from being in charge of the school fundraiser. I've been helping two ladies to take over, but I am even stepping back from that. I feel relieved and like I'm going to throw up all at the same time. I dumped it on them with 6 weeks to go. I suck. But, I can't look past the way they are treating one of ( Read more... )

I'm fat. I've spent a lot of time the past couple of years coming to terms with this. It's kind of hard going from the girl who was positive she would kill herself--not hyperbole--if she was bigger than a size 7, to now being a size 16. Granted, a lot of things have happened in my life in between these two aspects of me. I went to college, I got ( Read more... )

I will turn 37 as I type this. In doing some thinking, I've decided a few things. FirstI am in a pretty okay place mentally. I still have attacks of depression, but the meds are helping to keep those fewer and farther between. I am also finding better ways at heading them off at the pass, so to speak. It will be a lifelong battle, but I have ( Read more... )
