Something feels off. I’m not sure what it is, either. I haven’t tenth stepped in months, which isn’t good. I still have yet to go over some 8 and 9th steps with my sponsor. But I don’t think that’s it. I’m in a weird place, and feel very tense and on edge when I have […]

Day 91
There are many aspects of parenting I enjoy. Braiding my daughter’s wet hair while she snuggles on my lap. That moment when the toddler says the “please” I’ve been working on her with for weeks. Those are the ones I live for. There are also the moments when I’m tearing the place apart looking for […]
Day 90 My cat has fleas and I might have pinkeye edition
But let’s not let the little things get us down! I’m kinda SOL on the pinkeye since I’m allergic to the pinkeye medications out there but I went and got a flea treatment and defogger for the apartment and hopefully that does ‘er for that. So far, I haven’t actually seen any fleas, just evidence […]
Day 89
My oven broke today. I literally cried. A was playing with the latch, it’s stuck and the door won’t close. So no baking until maintenance comes to fix it. I keep telling myself it’s no big deal, and going 2-3 days without the oven is fine but I’m in withdrawal. And I wasn’t even home […]
Day 88
Yesterday I kept so busy I didn’t have a chance to write anything up. Today…not much happened. Not necessarily a bad thing. But to be honest, I spent most of the day fighting a migraine, and then when that went away I was so tired I was falling asleep at my desk. But hey, the […]

Day 85
I’m feeling incredibly claustrophobic at the moment. I’m good at compartmentalizing. Especially with the people in my life. And I’m so good at it, that it never occurs to me that this is a small town and people know each other. Or that people from the past that I don’t expect to ever be in […]

Day 83
Today has been a good day. Not really anything specific to point at, but a culmination of good, if you will. I got kind of excited, there was pop rocks for sale at the register when I was at the store. Impulse buy. I hurriedly opened up a pack at my desk, and had just […]
