I mentioned yesterday that I started a bullet journal and I thought I'd share some of it today since I actually followed through and used it. What's a Bullet Journal? The short answer, without popping out to http://bulletjournal.com/ is that it's a handwritten planner system that you can use in any notebook. Most people use small(ish) … Continue reading Bullet Journal

So Many Choices
I've been busy with my oldest's high school graduation and his new student orientation at West Virginia University, which is about 3 hours away from where we live. I'm so excited about WVU now part of me wishes I was the one going off to school. I think it's a great fit for my son, … Continue reading So Many Choices
Birthday
Today's my birthday - yay! I get to eat as much cake as I can! And also reflect on what's happened in a year ... I'm in such a different place mentally; last year I was still recovering from something that happened in January and still struggling with drinking. I took my last drink in … Continue reading Birthday
The Blahs
Today is a blah kind of day. I woke up before my alarm but then after the kids left for school, I climbed back in bed and fell sort of asleep for an hour - a bad habit I started this winter on days when I just couldn't face the day. I've had major depression at … Continue reading The Blahs
People are rivers
(Although the end of that last quote is a tough one for someone with a mental illness - it's impossible for me to smile and be carefree sometimes and I try not to blame myself/beat myself up for not being able to while still striving to smile & be carefree. It's complicated.)
Taking Stock
What follows isn't entirely proofed. If I wait to proof & edit it, it's going to be 2012 and I'll be writing about a hangover, which will be much worse than this, I think. Last January when I started this blog, I was fighting through another bout with depression. I honestly don't know that I've … Continue reading Taking Stock
Next?
This post might throw you for a loop; read my posts from winter 2011 if it does. One of my uncles, the one who will never change, the one born with fetal alcohol syndrome (which wasn't exactly recognized in 1965 – look at me, making excuses!), the one the same age as my oldest cousin … Continue reading Next?
#TheGoldenStallion
It's surprising how little there is to watch on TV on a Friday night. We stopped subscribing to the premium movie channels in favor of Netflix streaming through the Wii, which lately has not been working well (or really, at all). So last night, I was back to my old entertaining favorites: channels without commercials … Continue reading #TheGoldenStallion
Going my own way, again
First there was roller derby and then came the new job: two of the biggest changes in my life since 2009, the year I went back into therapy & back on meds for depression. Well, one of those new things turned out to be not quite what I hoped for and instead of sucking it … Continue reading Going my own way, again
