I start my new job on Monday and I’m a little nervous! This is completely different from what I’m used to--this is a startup, I’m basically the first employee, I have to really come up with stuff and shape the position, and I’ll be managing freelancers when we get them. It’s great, but it’s new and scary and a lot of…

I hate that people dye their pets.  Ugh.

So earlier this week I was followed by Jezebel and now seem to be in the black. I wasn’t expecting that at all, I feel like I don’t comment terribly frequently but I’m oddly happy about it.

So I *sheepishly admit* that I’m totally obsessed with my chickens, their eggs, and the absolute beauty of tending a flock. My littles are laying! Doll eggs!! Squueeeeee

Job search update: I have an interview scheduled for 4:00 on Monday at the open house!

So it’s official-official now. Open-heart surgery is the 11th. There was a chance I could have a cath procedure instead but it’s not going to work out (we’d have to push it back 3-6 months and then there’s still a chance I wouldn’t qualify)

I only have a shower. I dream of a big bath tub and watching Big Mouth while taking my bubble bath.

Let’s not.

Hi Jezzies, I want to thank a lot of you for all of your advice and offers of help last week, it has meant so much to me. I have found a cat sitter for Ollie and Can spend Xmas with family. Those of you who have seen me comment for the part 16 months know what a hell it has been for me. I attempted suicide and became…

For the last few months, I’ve been suffering with horrible exhaustion. Seemingly out of nowhere, I’ve just lost all my energy. I sleep eight to ten hours a night but then need a nap at 2 in the afternoon. I’ve had sleep studies, there are no abnormalities there. None of my medications have changed. Nothing shows up in…

Bubble baths!

Long essay about being a parent of a kid with special needs

Whoa I’m almost on time for SNS! Craft THREAAAAAAAAAD!

What are your go-tos for self care that don't take much energy? My depression and exhaustion from work have reached a peak this week.

I woke up to a pleasant surprise early this week, that I’ve been waiting to share; I believe I am out of the greys! Thank you to whoever it is at Jezebel who had the faith in me to do this, I promise I'll repay it with quality posts and be as positive member of the community as I am able.

Coming soon:

So basically TMZ was willing to pay for the video and the NFL wasn’t. 

I’m confused as to how actually beating a woman doesn’t make you a woman-beater? Do you think that he wouldn’t have beat her even more if there weren’t a bunch of people there to stop him?

Any recommendations for tupperware that will keep things from getting freezerburn?  I’ve tried freezing, and unless it’s something I can vacuum seal, it doesn’t seem to work well.
