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…
The Primitive brain
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. Those voices that sometimes sound very tempting to follow. See, those demons were often the only ones comforting me when no one else was around. As…
Why did you stop wearing makeup?
I stopped wearing the little makeup I was already wearing years ago. About ten years ago. I didn’t want to stop wearing it. Although I’m not that great at applying it, I love makeup. I love all things beauty. Especially skin care since my skin is as dry as the Sahara Desert. I try not…
Computer literacy
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…
Managing nightmares
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…
Dissociating…
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…
Happy New Year!
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….
This year is almost up!
My cat has finally decided to get off my mousepad and let me back onto my computer. She actually pushed my mouse aside and sat on my mousepad. If Google devices only start listening when you say “Okay Google,” then how does the device know when you say “Okay Google?” I got a solid state…
This is where the title would go if I had one
My shoulder/neck hurts today, so it’s a bit hard to concentrate on anything. I’m in an alright mood considering. My girls have a play and an art show that I need to attend tonight. I’m excited about that. I’m currently moving pictures and videos to my computer from my phone so I have room to…
Daily randomness
Not feeling too well today. Getting better. Took iron today. I have taken iron pills on and off all my life. Never been anemic but occasionally have had low iron. Alexis is the same way. Although she had been anemic before. I have Colorado pictures and pics from Alexis’s play last night. I will put…
