10/21 I've been eating a lot of soup the past couple months. At first it was a novelty (oh man, I haven't had soup since March, I've missed this). Then the novelty wore off, but it's still the easiest meal option. Open can, heat and eat. That's why I'm having cream of mushroom soup for dinner tonig...
I realized that journaling is very important for me to release my feelings. 'Cause I've realized that when I get mad or frustrated, I need to let it out. I stopped journaling 'cause I lost track and I didn't know what to write. So, a few weeks ago I happen to have raised my middle finger on the terr...
I'm now looking good to start NaNoWriMo. I had wanted to have up through chapter 52 ready to go and then I would start writing from chapter 53. For a while it was looking like I would be writing 49 and 50 along with 53 onwards and scrambling to edit the earlier chapters come November, but I buckled ...
So I'm back to just doing my normal thing in the house instead of quarantining for two weeks. Apparently, the oldest daughter started feeling sick Monday morning at work and the 10yo started feeling sick yesterday and the baby now has a runny nose because he sleeps in the same bed as his mama (the o...
I'm starting this because I'm trying to start the habit of gratitude journaling. I have read and heard a lot about the benefits of the practice and, as someone who has dealt with depression in the past, I will do just about anything to prevent myself from feeling that way ever again. Somehow, post...
Today, I was most happy when I got to scratch Pinky's chin. She was lying in a patch of bright sunlight on a little fake leather chair. When I went to pet her, she lifted her chin directly upwards and stared at me with happy squinting eyes as bits of fur floated around her halo of warmth. I do not ...
I was supposed to go to the dentist today after missing my last appointment. Now I'm probably going to be charged a fee... Michael thought my appointment (an hour away from here) was at noon but it was Jena's and mine was at 2, but he didn't have enough time to bring me, so I had to reschedule again...
Despite being sick, yesterday turned out to be a good day for writing. I wrote several blog posts that I backdated to fill in the gaps from the last week--mostly stuff about my health and being sick. That started off the writing wave. Usually doing that and my journal entry here just wears me out me...
On Saturday, we had an impromptu board game day with team (everyone except Kan and Silver). We played Pictionary, which is still the best that Tabletop Simulator has to offer. Dante got "Chantelise," which none of us including him has ever heard of. He first tried googling the characters and drawing...
I woke up this morning feeling terrible so I forced myself up- right as my alarm clock started to go off. I was on time for once- that was a surprise. I didn't particularly have anything planned for today, though I ended up doing a lot. The past few days have been dull. I didn't do much of anything...
Still not that sick, but I'm sick enough. It sucks. Now the cold is in my chest so I'm coughing up phlegm. Ick. And my nose was super stuffed up this morning. If this gets into my sinuses... ugh. I only have decongestant pills left which means I have to explain over text to my husband how to get mor...
