Time takes a cigarette…
I was really making some progress three years ago. I was just out of short and poorly thought out relationship, I was on a serious organization kick, and I was on a self managed therapy program. Two years ago I was still grieving the loss of my father, desperately trying to come to terms with…

I Still Care…
When I tick the carer box on just about every form I fill out these days I still feel like it’s not a real thing. 20+ years of primary care for two ASD children, plus an ex who is definitely on the spectrum but I still feel like I would be judged to be more…

Interesting Times…
Damn it’s easy to let things slip away, especially if you’re living in interesting times. Due to mix of personal and worldwide issues over the last few years I seem to have let doing stuff slide, or at least doing stuff I enjoyed slide. That whole divorce, raising kids with ‘requirements’, covid lockdowns, sudden death…

Spoon Theory II
The measuring your ability to do things by how many spoons it will cost you is now a common idiom, but I think it needs an update to include the exchange rate for spoons spent on loved one’s and friends vs. spoons spent on bureaucracy. The same task for a friend vs for a job…

I Want My Life Back
It wasn’t a great one but at least I occasionally got to do something other than work. Two years of grief, clearing junk, and other life stuff that started pretty much the same time the pandemic shutdowns ended has been a bit of chore. Maybe a chore isn’t understating it a bit, it’s broken my…

It’s Been One Week…
Since you looked at meThrew your arms in the air and said, “You’re crazy”. Also it’s been one week since my last prozac tablet, or to be precise my last 1/8th of a tablet. After a couple of months of tapering I can assume it’s pretty much out of my system now. And do I…

How Long Do You Need?
About a year apparently, or that is how long it took to go from maximalist bordering on hoarding to a not quite minimalist, but definitely under control regular amount of stuff type person. After a few years of chronic illness, and several more of untreated clinical depression the world decided to have a pandemic. What…

Stop the Ride…
I’m having a hell of time focusing on things at the moment. Things are getting done, in a haphazard fashion, but it’s mostly the essentials and often even those are behind schedule. One of the kids had a shower and there weren’t any clean towels. I kind of feel things like that fall into the…

Who ate all the pies?
I’m going to be really mad if avoiding gluten fixes even 50% of my health problems. Not mad that it’s helping, but mad that not one doctor or specialist who have spent years pumping me full of tens of thousands of dollars worth of drugs didn’t just go “oh and maybe try skipping gluten for…

Sure, lets give that a whirl…
You know what’s annoying? The naturopath giving you medical advice that your doctor should have considered. I’m pretty anti-woo, especially the basis in anything type, but I’m also willing to pick the eyes out of most things. I’m also more likely to believe a naturopath that falls into the more of a dietitian, than I…
