I noticed something the last week or so, something that snuck up on me.
I’m sleeping at night.
I think my sleeping issues began a few weeks after Kelsey started school at the public school, when I started feeling unsure and unsafe. I’ve been waking up at 4 every morning. I wake up in a panic, go [...]
Two weeks ago, I jumped right into something new, something that I should have begun doing decades ago. I didn’t give it a lot of forethought, because if I did, I’m sure I would have talked myself out of it, as is my usual modus operandi. In short, my niece needed a pal to go [...]
Somewhere along the way, I aged. I turned 37 amidst the planning for our younger child’s 3rd birthday, in the post-holiday fog that so often consumes the few days after New Year’s, when we’re all still trying to remember what year it is.
Back before I became the incredibly intelligent, knowledgeable, self-actualized person that I am [...]
I’m working on my birthday list RIGHT NOW. So, if you’ve been wondering just what your very favorite blogger will be wanting to kick off her 37th year right, look NO further.
Since it looks like I’ll have to obtain financing in order to afford gas until the end of the Bush administration, I’ve decided [...]
I’m tough. I’ve always been a stronger-than-average type of person, able to carry heavy things, accomplish tasks with an obsessive attention to detail, reach challenging goals. To be honest, I’m rather proud of this personal characteristic. I’ve gotten over a myriad of addictions; I’ve made my way through a heaping pile of emotional tragedies, broken [...]
OK, you are allowed to make endless fun of me for this.
My first rock concert: Picture a skinny, freckled 16-year-old girl wearing faded blue jeans with a double-wrap-around slim white belt hanging down over her hips, and one of those cotton pastel shirts with the snaps and the mesh pull-down shoulder, hair feathered and [...]
I gave up coffee last week. *takes sip of coffee*. Yeah, it didn’t stick.
Every so often, I feel the need to gain some control over my various addictions. None of them are particularly dangerous, unless you consider the side effect of ultra-crankiness to be dangerous. If I’ve had four cups of coffee in a [...]
EDIT: This was my last post on my ROAR site. -TLH
It’s obvious, isn’t it readers, that my roar has been tamed? My mane, had I one, shorn like Aslan’s in his shameful humility on the stone table. $Gods, I hate meek. Even feigned meek, used to bring down the egomaniacal Jadis, with her barbaric hordes, [...]
See, you can tell I’m neurotic because I keep trying to wrap my head around these tenets that indicate neurosis. Hello, obsessive!
Anyway, more thoughts on tenet #4: “The idea that human misery is invariably externally caused and is forced on us by outside people and events — instead of the idea that neurosis is largely [...]
I’ve managed to YET AGAIN alienate people in the healthcare industry! I think I deserve some kind of medal!
First it was my OBGYN when I was pregnant with my older child. He didn’t like that I diagnosed myself with low progesterone until he did a blood test to make sure and sent me running to [...]
