Another day.

Well, it’s Sunday, just another day. I awoke around 11 to take my “Happy Pills” and have just been puttering about. Tidying here and there, considering doing laundry, but also considering NOT doing laundry. I still have clean undies for the coming week, laundry can most likely wait. I have therapy tomorrow, which is alwaysContinue reading “Another day.”

PLaytime

Playtime is when time goes by too fast to notice the sun going down. Whether that is reading, skipping, bicycling, playing an instrument, playing LEGO, it’s all playtime if it doesn’t feel like work. As a child you have no concept of what cleaning the house is really like, so you play house and cleanContinue reading “PLaytime”

Challenges

My biggest challenges are getting and staying motivated. Even writing this is tough, and I’m not sure what else to put down. I’m trying to stay positive and productive, and keep moving forward with the voice over stuff, but I find myself doing the *John Travolta Look Around the Room Gif* more and more everyday.Continue reading “Challenges”

That time of the year

Well, it’s been a little while since I’ve written a blog post, so there is a bit to catch up on! Most of my journals hop around through time and are mostly just memory-catch-ups. Which has been very useful since I seem to have lost a lot of my long term memories to depression. GoingContinue reading “That time of the year”

Setting Up a Schedule!

Alrighty folks, a little more upbeat in this post! I spoke to my therapist about feeling stuck, she brought up setting a schedule and giving myself points for each achievement – I’m not doing the points thing but just having a basic, bare bones schedule of what I needed to do each week has madeContinue reading “Setting Up a Schedule!”

Feeling a little stuck….. don’t let the existential dread sink in

Do you ever have those dreams where your legs are really heavy? Like, you can’t lift them high enough, or your knees are too weak, or you’re actually stuck in some kind of goo? I’ve been having reoccurring dreams with this theme. It’s not a subtle theme, I clearly just feel stuck on what toContinue reading “Feeling a little stuck….. don’t let the existential dread sink in”

Visiting home… there’s no place like it.

Visiting the town where I grew up is always a bag of mixed feelings; I’m anxious to see family and old friends, but I’m also ANXIOUS to see family and friends. There are expectations I put on myself, after high school, that I didn’t meet; it always really sucks saying “Oh, well you know, don’tContinue reading “Visiting home… there’s no place like it.”

Went camping – will forever smell like campfire.

Hello! I went camping this past weekend, for one night, in our car. Car camping. I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t think I can’t sleep on the actual ground and then get UP off of said ground in the morning. We (it’s actually Sarah’s) have a VW wagon, so we slept in theContinue reading “Went camping – will forever smell like campfire.”

What is good about having a pet?

Everything is good about having a pet. Pet’s provide a comfort that humans just aren’t able to. Whether your pet is a big floofy dog or an adorable axolotl, if you love them, they will love you unconditionally. Especially if you have food. I have two cats, one is a puffy black cloud, the otherContinue reading “What is good about having a pet?”
