I think one of the hardest transitions in life may be the transition from childhood to adulthood. One day you are 17 and the next, you are 18 and legally an adult. Although mentally you are still a kid. Watching Karissa trying to adjust and seeing her nervousness, I try not to take over and…

There needs to be a better WordPress app, typing up a post via browser is a bit of an annoyance. I’m sitting in McDonald’s having a Coke, cause seriously, my stomach doesn’t care for anything else at McDonald’s. Shame though, I do like some of its food. I’m waiting for Chris to get done with…

٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶ I actually made it to my therapist office with some time to spare. I was running late this morning even though I left on time. Turned my car on and there was this attention-seeking, unrelenting orange-lit picture of a gas pump staring at me! Mind you, I have not driven my car all week…

Since it’s almost her 18th birthday, I should type up Karissa’s birth story. She was an easy pregnancy. All the excitement happened after her birth. Hmmm, where do I start? Karissa Charlene was born on a Wednesday. I remembered this because I was watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer on Tuesday night and thanking her for…

In basic terms, Post-Traumatic_Stress Disorder or PTSD is the brain’s normal reaction to extreme trauma. I’ve had some tell me in the past to not listen to my demons.

What exactly does it mean to be “computer literate?” When talking to some friends and family, I get the occasional “I wish I was computer literate” or “I wish I had your computer skills.” Computer literacy is such a vague term. There are so many areas of the technology industry that one cannot say they…

I have been out of my anti-nightmare medication for over two weeks now. I need to wait till I see my psychiatrist tomorrow to get more. Since I’m still in the process of seeing what works for me and my doctor wasn’t the original person who prescribed the medication, I couldn’t have it refilled. I…

Sometime I’d like to post those humorous type posts where I can be sarcastic and funny. Maybe later when I’m not so exhausted. I’m emotionally exhausted. Having to be around so many people this last weekend and week takes a lot out of me. I’m not sure completely why, though last weekend was a bit…

First post of the new year. Now I need to remember to write 2018. I should have that down by July. I think Mother Nature forgot about us for winter. Somehow she is mad at the East coast for all the snow she has been dumping over there. It was in the 50’s here today….
