“Somebody That I Used to Know” —...
So let’s be honest..
I haven’t left my bed all day. Except to take care of my dog, or go to the bathroom, or to get more tissues for those sporadic moments where I can’t keep my cool and burst into tears. I haven’t eaten or brushed my hair or made any attempt to talk to anyone (I think that’s been rather mutual today, aside from the teen — she would probably...

OK. I just did the Insanity Workout Fit Test, day 1 (why yes, I did decide to start it on Christmas), and basically, I want to die. I’m sweating in places I didn’t know I could sweat; I’m sweating more than I’ve ever sweat before. As a runner, this kills me a little bit, and I’m a little scared to see how I’ll handle days 2-60, but we’ll see. If I see a...

I need to be around people that make me laugh more often. Last night was a lot of fun, but I was sad it had to end.

And I’d try to be happy for ‘em. I’d have fake it like hell, but I’d try. ‘Cause they’d...

Lettuce Eat!
Haha, corny title, I know.
Yesterday I went grocery shopping, and made the connection that I definitely buy and eat healthier when I’m by myself. Basically, I let my eating habits suffer at the hands of the kids. They have been introduced to new things over the course of the last eight months — they like curry, I make an orange sauce that they go back for thirds on (and believe me, I...

Broken Things
The fourteen-year-old comes home from school, and everyday she passes me on the stairs and says, “I need to talk to you later!” Code for, “Something exciting/embarrassing/important to me happened at school today and I need you to pretend for ten minutes that you’re not old, and come gossip with me.” (I’m half kidding.)
I look at her sometimes, knowing that she...
Anonymous asked: Yes, it was a real question. I dont appreciate you mocking me out of it. I am currently struggling with bills and my current job does not seem to pay as much as I wish it did. But it is one of the best that I can get right now with my education. I really was asking how to somehow manage to pay off debts while still maintaining the minimum of what I do have. Such as my apartment, my car, and my...
