It’s my birthday! Just got back from Murder on the Orient Express, which was quite enjoyable, and waiting for husband to come home and serve my birthday cake!

Realized recently that I very probably have been depressed for a good portion of this year! Which seems to be one of those things I can really only recognize in hindsight. I think, on the whole, there’s just been too much going on for my brain to handle, on top of working so hard at getting better at managing my…

What are you guys watching right now?

Uh, also can you call it an apology if he never, not once said he was sorry but did find a way to talk about how admired he is twice?

However, people weren’t quite as thrilled with the restoration of Chartres Cathedral, where they removed centuries of soot to reveal what the church looked like after it was rebuilt 800 years ago. The real kicker was when they restored the so-called Black Madonna. People had been making pilgrimages to see it, but it…

Buster is home! I picked him up this morning.

I’ve been so exhausted all week. Between not sleeping well, PMSing hard (the back aches have been unreal), and all the candy...

I have exciting news for those who have been following my posts about being in an emotionally abusive relationship. I signed a lease for an apartment yesterday! It’s been a mix of emotions (celebration, sadness, guilt, optimism). I looked at a ton of apartments and finally found one that could feel like home. Since,…

After 15 months of long distance, my bf moved here almost 6 months ago. Tonight we carved pumpkins together. It’s these little things that I really missed/wanted when we were apart. I struggle with depression and anxiety, but tonight, right now, in the crisp fall air, with baseball on and college football in full…

Hugs for Buster-at least you know he’s safe.

A few weeks ago I posted about my dog, Buster, who was just diagnosed with a degenerative spine disease. After a week of trying to keep him on bed rest, it became painfully clear that there’s no way I can do it properly (I live on the second floor, and he refuses to poop anywhere on our block, let alone the apartment…

It may not look like Lady Gaga, but it’s a picture perfect Iggy Pop.

Hi gang, y’all ever drink peach soju? It is delightful.
