It's hard to write every day and try not to be repetitive. Sometimes, nothing new comes up. Sometimes I am just generally content and things are going pretty well for the most part and I just don't have much going on in my mind. I mean, don't get me wrong, there's stuff going on up … Continue reading December 5: staring at a blank page

November 27: crazy dreams
I'm already nodding off (the result of staying up and grading) and I'm starting to have weird dreams in my mini-sleeps. The last one was kind of creepy, because the house was haunted and my mind was being melded with some other mind. Then I was trying to escape but my Lularoe leggings kept falling … Continue reading November 27: crazy dreams
November 24: still creeped out
Last night I slept terribly: every single creek or sniffle woke me up. I thought I would be okay, but the break-in definitely affected my sense of security in my own house. I guess that's to be expected, but I didn't realize how bad it was until I got up to go to the bathroom … Continue reading November 24: still creeped out
November 23: The Blackest of Fridays
Someone broke into our house while we were sleeping last night. They came in through the window and grabbed a purse, and went through a car. They had to know we were home; there was three cars in the driveway. It was pretty bold. I am trying to stay focused on the positive: no one … Continue reading November 23: The Blackest of Fridays
November 17: time is flying
I can't believe it's almost December. It doesn't feel like it, even if it does get dark at, like, five in the afternoon now. I have been working really hard on grading this weekend and it's paying off, but I'm really burnt out. I wish I could just get a day for nothingness. I just … Continue reading November 17: time is flying
November 15: the why
Lately I've been internally complaining about "having to write." It's kind of weird, because I don't actually have to write here. I'm not paid; I'm not forced. If I didn't write one day, it wouldn't be missed much. I haven't posted a few of the less interesting blogs to Facebook or other social media recently … Continue reading November 15: the why
November 13: something weird
Something weird is going on with me. My shoulder and side on the right side hurts - like, the skin feels like it's burning just to touch it gently. It hurt to take a shower - the pressure from the water hurt. It hurts to wear clothes. It hurts to put my purse on that … Continue reading November 13: something weird
November 12: this world is too much today
Everything is so heavy: the fires in California, the terrible loss of life, the needless brutality from the local to the international, the news of audio from the Khashoggi murder, our crazy-ass idiot president, the insanity of people not wanting every vote to be counted in states where elections are very close, an entire town … Continue reading November 12: this world is too much today
November 10: inconvenience
I have a ton of things that have been on my mind that I'd like to write about - things that are really weighing me down or bouncing around inside my head - but I'm not going to write about them, and that sucks. My hand is numb from carpal tunnel problems. I'm falling asleep. … Continue reading November 10: inconvenience
November 3: Fall Back
Tonight we time travel once more, to relive the past for an hour at 2 am. I used to LOVE fall back - what's not to love about an extra hour of sleep? - but lately I've been pretty ambivalent about it. First of all, it means nights are going to feel darker sooner, and … Continue reading November 3: Fall Back
