I’m so damn happy for you and I admire how pro-active you are about making interesting, important, yet awesome stuff happen.

My Something Good feels small but I am reminded by your post that when you add up two or five or ten small things the Good actually makes a difference for those days when it’s safest in bed under the covers.
Today, I walked 35km (21.75 Miles) to raise money to fight against and awareness for sufferers of mitochondrial disease. It’s a long-term, genetic, often inherited disorders that occur when mitochondria fail to produce enough energy for the body to function properly.
I have had a year of semi-suck, in comparison to 2017 which was a the biggest SUCKfest of all... I don’t need to go into that, but it was a pretty good last few days. Things are progressing a bit at my new-ish job (I don’t feel completely underwater, finally), signed up to be a volunteer at PAWS in about a week, and…
My good is a positive pregnancy test today after the longest two weeks of my life.
I enjoyed the stuffing out of your post.
I’m with you. I love to sing, and have a decent voice. But I do not like performing. I’ve got a few friends who do sets at open mics in town, and they occasionally try to get me to join them for a song or two. I don’t enjoy it. Sure, I’ll sing sitting around a bonfire with a handful of friends, but don’t ask me to get…
I’m glad you’re doing well and enjoying life!
I think that I was once ungreyed on one of these sites, but now I seem to be greyed again. I pretty much see & read everyone's post regardless, but it would still be nice to be a more legitimate part of the community. By the way, does anyone know whatever happened to Drugstore Glasses? She was one of my favorites & I…
Hey there are some days where just taking a shower is a victory. Celebrate it.
I had my first singing recital lately, and I was scared shitless, but it went really well! I’m very glad about it, and I’ve wanted my entire life to learn to sing. I’m thrilled I finally get to.
Umm...they don’t? It’s not useful to tell someone in therapy or whatever, but some of us do in fact not share that experience. And it feels really weird for us to be not considered “real” women.
Throwing out the internet hugs tonight, because I’m selfish and I could really do with a hug myself (real or virtual). Turned down for counselling by the Mental Health team, at least 2 weeks until work-related counselling starts, I feel utterly in limbo.
I’ve had a pleasant weekend/end-of-week. My mom had gotten a new car last month, and between that and the car left behind after Dad passed... well, I have a newer car. It has more miles on it than the one I’ve been driving, but being a turbo diesel it’s much nicer for getting on freeways (the one I was driving before…
I feel really happy that I have a great class this year. Their personalities gel and there’s just right amount of spice and sass to keep it interesting... but not too interesting ;)
At the end of the month, after my 28th birthday (!) I’m going to be taking an Viola Spolin improvisational theatre workshop taught by Spolin’s granddaughter (who is also the daughter of Paul Sills, who co-founded the Second City). I’ve studied Spolin for years and applying her teachings has made me improve so much as…
You guys. YOU GUYS. I’m meeting Shirley Manson next week! My husband and I are huge Garbage fans, and we decided to cough up the money to buy backstage passes in addition to tickets for their Version 2.0 Anniversary Tour when it comes to our state on Thursday. Technically I’ve already met her once; in 1998 we were…
Look, the BBQ Becky lady wasn’t well psychologically either. I’m not saying that this one is a sane person...the way she speaks and the bullshit she’s coming up with on the fly seems indicative that she may not be all there...but crazy people are racist too. These two things are not mutually exclusive, and being crazy…
I’m done with the cute hashtag nicknames. It’s putting a humorous spin on some truly fucking horrible people doing bad shit to innocent people.
