    I found out last week that I have, indeed, been accepted into the accelerated nursing program at the university I’ve been taking prerequisites and will have my BSN by August 2022, with the expectation that I will pass my boards and all that fun shit. Obviously, I am very excited about this, even if it…

    Over on Twitter a little while ago, I got into a discussion about the concept of kayfabe – which is actually the impetus of this “in which I married a con man …” series – and as soon as I typed out that Keith was living on both sides of his personal kayfabe, it was…

    I have so much to do this week – microbiology, the rest of last month’s Xena challenge (another post is coming tonight actually), work, doctor’s appointment, and like three other projects – but I just had to share. I’m officially in nursing school, kids! Now, I won’t receive the paper offer until next week, and…

    I’ve alluded to my doomed marriage several times on various social media websites, sometimes with a bit more detail, but more often than not, it was quick quips about how he is an asshole and a narcissist. It’s easier that way. A lot of the vulnerability I feel stems from my no good, very bad…

    I am genuinely excited about becoming a nurse. It’s something I have really wanted to do for a little over 10 years now, but I fought it. For a lot of reasons. One, I didn’t want to become my mother. Granted, she’s not a terrible person to emulate – her confusing continued support of Donald…

    The semester doesn’t start until the 19th, but last night, I had my first Zoom session about what I have to do over the next month which will make me go crazy. First, I have to get a whole bunch of medical stuff done (titers, physical, TB test, drug screen, etc.). Second, I’ll need to…

    Ooooh, I haven’t done one of these in a while. I figure, since it’s my birthday tomorrow, that I should celebrate by regaling you with another super fun story about how vehicular technology hates me. Remember how Mah-gret the Mazda died? Well, her untimely death at the hands of a cherry-red catalytic converter made it…

    I haven’t decorated a Christmas tree in years, and when I finally went back to get my Christmas decoration bin at the house in South Carolina (you know, before the bank sold it because my husband just stopped making payments without telling me), I figured I’d just hold onto them until I finally got a…
