When we last left off, I was about to talk about a few things that have happened and since then, more stuff has happened.

I went to DC with the North Dakota DD Council at the end of March and I was the only sober person there the entire time as the rest of the council decided it was a weeklong bender trip. I had to take care of seven drunk people ( Read more... )

When we last left off, everything imploded on me at the end of 2021. Things haven’t changed much in 2022 and in some cases have gotten much worse.

2021 officially ended like this: I nearly lost my job(thankfully Jake saved me from having that happen after he told those who were interviewing him that nothing happened and that I wasn’t doing anything ( Read more... )

When we last left off, things were tumbling down fast and furious! Things would’ve continued that way had a few things not happened in the past few months…..

First, my job with the state is going great! I’m now the director of the state sponsored self-advocacy organization here in North Dakota and I’ll be the main support staff person for when the ( Read more... )

We’re already a third into 2021 and I’m already wondering how many more things I can be blamed for and how much more I can screw up!

I’m being blamed for the following things by either family, friends, work, the community at large, or a combination of things:
-North Dakota being in an extreme drought(community at large; apparently me moving to North ( Read more... )

When we last left off, I was dealing with an explosive environment and possible firing of my job over something that was beyond my control in any way shape or form. We now continue with part 2:

While I wasn’t fired for what happened; I was berated rather extremely for several weeks and I was on the verge of tears constantly. I found out at the end ( Read more... )

Like nearly everyone in the universe, I was extremely happy when 2021 came through. Then 2021 decided to continue going forth with what 2019 planned and what 2020 did during its dry run.

To say that the past few days have been nerve racking is an understatement. I’m absolutely terrified of what will happen in the coming weeks. This is such uncharted ( Read more... )

2020 has finally descended back to the one millionth gate of hell from once it came and 2021 is finally here!!!

As with anyone who lived through 2020, it was an unbelievably shitty year for me. If it wasn’t the corona virus causing mayhem for all to see, it was dealing with several health issues that have yet to be resolved. It also included a will ( Read more... )

As for pretty much everyone in the universe, 2020 has been an incredibly shitty year. Everything from a global pandemic to what seems like every known possible sign that the four horsemen of the apocalypse are on their way to make a rather grand entrance, 2020 has really hit everyone hard ( Read more... )

2019 was particularly brutal for me because many people I knew died, several health scares and because my cousin killed his dad. I was more than happy to look forward to 2020 by the third week of January last year. It looks as though 2020 had a 'hold my beer' moment and decided to rain even more shit than I thought was humanely possible and ( Read more... )
