my thoughts and … thoughts

After three weeks of excruciating pain, I finally have a diagnosis: I have an 8-mm kidney stone and an ovarian cyst, both on my left side! I am happy to know what is causing all of this bullshit, but on the other hand, I now know what I have to do to resolve the problem.…

Wow, it’s been over two months since I posted anything, and I didn’t finish my Lord of the Rings challenge because of course I didn’t. I’ve had a lot going on this whole time, from dating – and subsequently breaking up with – a new dude to new job to holidays to adopting a new…

Y’all. I do not think that I have ever done anything as difficult as the NCLEX (National Council Licensure Examination) was. Not only was the test hard, the build-up to taking the test was excruciating; I cannot tell you how many times I cried just taking practice tests because I felt more ignorant than I…

I’m on vacation this week, which means that I’m kind of taking a break from most things, including posting on social media, so … even though I’ll be enjoying the beginning of the spooky season before us, I will not be doing livetweet sessions until next week.

The last 16 months have been … intense, we shall say. But. I did it. I finished the hardest undertaking I have attempted and managed to make it through to the end. I’m still not entirely sure how I was able to complete such a rigorous program, but you know what? I’ll take it. Happily.…

The songs I’ve chosen for today should give you an idea as to what my mood is, but for those of you who may not know, August 21st is always kind of a difficult day for me. I won’t go too much into it because, well, I’m trying to fully let go of the hurt…

I’m making time to fiddle around with art stuff – my next little project is going to involve watercolor-like graphite – and am still trying to find my style (if I have one?). I love hatching and have found that it’s a combination of zen-like focus and utter frustration, but I wanna branch out a…

So the last few years have sucked, haven’t they? Especially the last week, in which my rights were put up for grabs by the Supreme Court (my ass, as Danny DeVito would say) and taken away by my state’s government, who had trigger laws in place for a good long while. I thought Covid was…

For the last year, I’ve been in this full-steam-ahead mode, mostly because of nursing school (only 58 more days … how???), and having moments of doing nothing, or simply existing without producing something, seemed like such a waste. Even routine self-care, like washing my face or brushing my teeth, was this pointless thing that took…
