I've been going through this with my husband this year. :( It's a work in progress. The thing that's helped him is exercise. He's still not been to the doctor, but working on his fitness has made a big improvement and he seems to have an easier time making that change than he does doing other things. I basically sat…

Unfortunately, you can’t MAKE anybody do something. The things I would do to this world if that weren’t true...

I’m sorry. I’ve been through something similar with Mr. really wicked. A knuckle headed doc prescribed some random antidepressant and he did not react well to it. My advice is a good physical with detailed blood work before anything else. I wish we had done that. The general doc just went straight to mess and caused a…

September makes me a little blue too, I feel like there are leftover back-to-school jitters for me (and it’s been years!). Some pros: tends to be less traffic since people don’t vacation as much, children are in school, so if you don’t like kids and do things during the day during the week they probably won’t be…

No mosquitoes.

and I’m not being hyperbolic when I say that I cried when I realized how many years of my life I spent in misery because I just thought that’s how life worked for me.

I’ve been on the depressed person side of it. It was really difficult for me to pull the trigger to go to therapy - it felt like giving up, or admitting something I didn’t want to come to terms with. My (now) husband tried for months to get me to go and did all the legwork for me. It really wasn’t until he looked me…

BOOTS. I fucking love boots but there is a heat level where all that produced is stank feet. September means I can take my cute, shit-kicking, steel-toed, fancy boots out again and also wear them with skirts because the frost isn’t here yet.

Oh, I hate presumptuous holiday decorations. It’s not Halloween, it’s August; and for the love of all that is good, shut the fuck up about Christmas. I heard a Christmas advert on YouTube in May. MAY.

Yikes! The joys of travelling alone.

I didn’t quit my job. That’s my biggest plus tbh. It has been a very trying week.

Wooohooo Mr. AntiSocial graduation!!!Yay travel and friends

I built a mini-theremin kit I had sitting around for years. This included having to replace the speaker when I accidentally crumpled the mylar cone trying to get it into place (so I needed desoldering, soldering, AND rotary tool skills). Now I just have to tune the little bugger and see if I can play it...

The reason…

Mine is kind of weird. I got fired this week- which isn’t something to brag about- but I didn’t cry about it!

I totally cleaned out my kitchen today. I know that doesn’t sound like much, but we’ve had these small bins filled with bullshit under the nook bench for like 2 years. Lol and there have been piles of old paperwork accumulating in the bench seats for a while now.

Have fun visiting Mr Anti! I’m sure you’re so excited to see him :) also have fun being a little adenvtourous and going to NYC.

This is my third straight week of exceeding my running goal for the week. I’m still behind on my year-to-date goal, but I am slowly making up miles from last month when I was traveling/moving. I also survived orientation week at my new job, and I’m excited to get into the classroom this coming week!

I brought my son to college on Sunday. He is lucky in that many of his friends from high school also are attending the same university. The roommate hadn’t left the dorm in three days. The roommate grew up in a very small town and was so out of his element, shy and scared. My son organized a “game night” last night…

I mowed the lawn. seriously, that feels like all I’ve accomplished, and my to-do list is just getting bigger...

I paid off all of my unsubsidized school loans this week! Just cut my load in half and I haven't graduate college yet. Feeling really good about that!
