On the left side of the sanity bell curve
Ok, people. Let’s clear something up. Ready? I’m gonna kindergarten it down for you. Hypothesis: When you have an idea which can be tested. Theory: A hypothesis you’ve tested and your peers have tested and your findings (and their’s) have been replicated by you and your peers. Lots of times. Everything comes out groovy at… Continue reading A Rant: You Say Theory. You Mean Hypothesis. Stop. It.
There’s a double-edged sword thing when it comes to being diagnosed as “cyclothymic.” On the one hand, I count my damn blessings I’m not Bipolar I or II; I cycle too quickly to meet the criteria for either. On the other hand/edge/whatever, I’m still left with murmurs of the aforementioned disorders and they still dick… Continue reading Channeling the Ant: I Promise It’s Not What You’re Expecting
There is something extremely annoying about right now at this time. I have good ideas for things, e.g., post topics, kids’ crafts, showering, but once I get serious about doing any of those things, they just take too damn much effort; I’m just too tired. When I’ve told my therapist about this crushing–Yeah. I know.… Continue reading Love Me. Hate Me. Pretending Is Too Damn Exhausting.
Who feels like giving–free–legal advice for a hypothetical situation. Hypothetical because this SO didn’t happen to me today. At. All. MY FRIEND–totally not me–stopped by the gas station outside of Walmart to grab a drink. She parked in front of the kiosk thing and left her kids in the car while she ran a short… Continue reading Lawyer Readers? Free Hypothetical Wreck Advice? Not About Me. Nope.
I discovered yesterday that I had overlapping appointments with my counselor and my shrink for today. Called and got the shrink rescheduled for a later time. Told the receptionist she was a “life saver.” Me: “Wait! I don’t mean like LITERALLY a life saver! Don’t tell him I said that! I just mean you really helped me… Continue reading I Don’t Know What To Title This Other Than Receptionists at Shrinks’ Offices Should Have a Sense of Humor
I shared this picture on Facebook yesterday: Science is cool and planets and other celestial bodies make me happy. What doesn’t make me happy? Cara running into our bedroom at 4:30 this morning screaming, “Wake up, Mommy and Ollie! The sun’s coming up! Wake up!” Go back to the image above and read #1. They should… Continue reading It Was the Moon Not the Sun AKA Cara Needs To Learn Moar Astronomy and Not Wake Us All Up
Everyone has their way of winding down from the day. Cara and Ollie like to freak the hell out for no reason cause they get punchy when they get tired so they wind down by driving us crazy. Sophie does this weird slurpy, licking thing and it’s just…yeah. Sophie, stop that? I sit on the… Continue reading Ukulele Orchestra Video Made of Awesome
I need to preface this–very long–post with some background stuff. My mom gave me my adoption records a long time ago. I’ve gone through them several times. They were put in our lock box and forgotten. Yesterday, Tucker was going through paperwork and sat a stack of papers in front of me and told me… Continue reading My Life In Bullet Points
Just that title makes me sound like one of those crazy people who say they’re “cured” but they’re really not and then they go off and sleep with fifty people or something until they come down from the mania and then they don’t take a shower for a month. So apparently there are a million-billion… Continue reading Quit My Meds?
I wasn’t even making $12k when I was in college. I was broke with a capital I-ain’t-got-no-money. So I did the public mental health clinic thing once a week. Some of the clientele didn’t even try to act normal…maybe they couldn’t. There was this HUGE–woman must have been 6’4″–black lady sitting in front of me… Continue reading Why I Will Never Go To Another Public Mental Health Clinic
Yesterday sucked. The end. For the most part it’s still Cara and when she reads this in a couple of years, she’ll understand just how awesome her parents are for letting her live that long. Yeah. When I was younger, I never bought into that whole “Respect your elders,” thing. That makes me a very… Continue reading Diary Entry 7.31.12
If you’re looking for a highbrow wine then you’ve come to the wrong place…on so many levels. First off, watch this: The video cracks me up. Just thought you should know. Spodee was a Depression era hooch that mixed up homemade country wines with garden herbs, spices and moonshine. The resulting brew was then put… Continue reading Spodee Hooch Wine Review
