It’s been a week. A long, frustrating, draining, emotions-running-around-in-circles, week. A week where you could stand on a cliffside and scream into the void whilst confusing some mermaids.

A Chat: Answers
Really trying to adopt this motto into my own life. I mean, there isn’t more that we can do except live one day at a time, right? Doesn’t do any good trying to live too far in the future. This is admittedly easier said than done, especially for someone like me, whose anxiety just LOVES… Continue reading A Chat: Answers
Surgery After Care
First of all – I’m fine. It was just minor surgery to correct an issue that I’ve been dealing with since last year. And I’m feeling much better. Or at least I’m getting there. It was a series of firsts for me, though. First time having to put on a hospital gown. First time getting… Continue reading Surgery After Care
Breathe Easy
Saturday. I was at work, doing what I needed to do, collecting books to be placed on hold, trying not to think about anything super hard. I’m just about done when I hear this noise. No idea where it came from, almost sounded like some kid that was either really upset or super excited (hard… Continue reading Breathe Easy
Last Week
Last week. My god. Last week was one of the longest, most excruciating weeks I have had the displeasure of experiencing period. Like, all of the anxiety I’ve had during 2020 was jammed into the span of a week and heightened to levels that I haven’t felt in years. All due to a very particular… Continue reading Last Week
Mistakes Were Made

And I don’t plan on doing it again soon. Because I’m not actually learning anything or… Continue reading Mistakes Were Made
Therapist Hunting
I know what you’re all thinking. And the answer is – yes, I really can’t draw dartboards. Looks like I’ll have to add it the list, alongside cars. In all seriousness, though, I do need a therapist to get my anxiety under control. And I am in the process of looking for one. It’s not… Continue reading Therapist Hunting
The Slightest Sound
Still getting used to the new car, as you can see, even though it’s already been two months. There have been times where I’m like “NO NO NO NOT AGAIN – oh, wait, it’s just my knee knocking against the paneling.” Or I tune into a certain sound and turn off my music to find… Continue reading The Slightest Sound
Walrus Studies: Interview
Well now, look at our walrus friend here! All dressed up nice and neat, with a briefcase in one flipper and a resumé in the other, with a look that says, “Pretty please hire me – I am not too proud to beg.” Basically reflecting how I’m feeling at this very moment. I have an… Continue reading Walrus Studies: Interview
Autumnal Worries
…yeah, I’d be lying if I said that I don’t do this every Fall. I’d also be lying if I said that I don’t check the weather forecast at least two months out, because I worry that it won’t cool off at all and it’ll just be warm forever. Because I do. And Accuweather is… Continue reading Autumnal Worries
