“Did you get the song I sent you?” I asked. “Yeah. So I’m on your mind, am I?” “Yeah.” “So you have feelings for me?” “Yes” I responded uncomfortably. A moment passed. Another conversation started. I broke in. “Is it returned?” “Is what?” “The feelings. Are they returned?” My voice cracked. I’m terrified of the […]
Day 94
Sleeping in is the best. I tend not to sleep in all that late when I have the opportunity to do it, but it’s soooo nice when I get the option to do it. Just snuggle in the bed, half asleep, and not be expected to get up or go anywhere. With my custody schedule, […]
Day 93
It’s been a mostly good day today. I’m a disaster getting out the door in the mornings, today I set extra warning alarms on my phone, like “ten minute warning” and “put your shoes on”. I feel more organized, but was still late for work. So I think now I need to assess other areas. […]
Day 92
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 87
Ok. Somebody needs to cut me off. Apple cinnamon donuts You’re going to have to roll me to my car so I can go to work tomorrow. I based the recipe on the pumpkin maple glazed donut recipe from Oh She Glows, but made some changes, like making it gluten free. And making with Apple instead of […]
Day 86
