Well at least I’m not sitting home alone. I guess that can get me through 2 more hours of work. Work wouldn’t be so bad today if I didn’t hurt so much. I have a dull pain in my back that’s just throbbing. Trying to stay busy but chair keeps calling me to sit.
Bad memories
Dear someone, Yesterday was a long day, it was so exhausting and sad. I had another PTSD episode, I haven’t had one this bad in so long, that tightening feeling and darkness took me back to that dark time, everything was overwhelming and the fact I was in my car with my mom screaming at me w…
We have enough time for it all.
Election night. We watch it and smart phone it and Wikipedia it all night. Till we are filled with numbers and polls and stuff. It is not my thing, Morry’s. But I like to do this thing with her. I like to flit. In and out and watch how she gets excited and tells me some bit of news or tidbit…

I am feeling depressed. I just had surgery and while I was very sick prior, waking up 30 times to pee, pushing urine out, up for 5 hours straight in pain. I am not anymore, I was promised healthy bladder, instead I am waking up 3-14 times, at least 1 hour up and down peeing coming out. I am …
Almost finished my novel! Woohoo!
I’ve been writing nonstop and I’m at 45,655 words! My goal was 50K words, but once I reach that point, I don’t care how much it goes over that word count, if any at all. I didn’t write at all on Sunday, but otherwise, I’ve been waking up thinking about my characters and where I am in the sto…
