It has been noted that I have not blogged in a bit. Yes, this is true. I have been dealing with some really heavy grief since my father’s last phone call. That happened Friday morning, and I let the machine get it because I just couldn’t handle it. He said he had made it home… Continue Reading

The Long Hard Road
The visit from my father is over. It was really difficult to get through, but it wasn’t impossible. Until the airport and dropping him off. I will get to that in a minute. The night I went to get him, he arrived around 11:30. We got home after midnight. We chatted some, and then I… Continue Reading
Quietly, She Weeps
This is more like early-morning (pre-sleep) musing, but whatever. In the past few weeks, I have tried to change the way I do things. I did a few of the things I planned (like submitting fiction to contests and a bit of cleaning), but for the most part–not so much on the hopey-changey thing. … Continue Reading
Shaken, and Stirred
I just finished Stieg Larsson’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Warning, if you have not read the book and are planning to read it, I am going to include spoilers in this post. Huh. I just read on Wiki that the original title in Swedish is Men Who Hate Women–which is a much more… Continue Reading
Tempus Fugit
I had my therapy session this morning. First of all, the temp has dropped considerably, which makes me a happy camper. Autumn is definitely here–and it’s my second favorite season. No, you get no bonus points for guessing my first since I’m not exactly reticent about it. Anyway, I walked into my therapist’s office and… Continue Reading
An Act of Triage, Part II
So, this is Part I. It’s not necessary to read, but it gives some good background. Before I get on with the meat of this entry, I want to meander a bit first. After the last fairly-positive blog entry, the demons were doubling down on their attacks. Now, their attacks are fairly short in nature… Continue Reading
It’s MY Life!
Ed. Note, Part I: I have decided to take an internet-communication-free day starting from when I get up tomorrow (or go to bed tonight/this morning) until I get up Saturday morning/come back from Taiji). Why? Because. I am posting a new entry before I take my mini-hiatus, but I will not be replying to any… Continue Reading
Committing Triage, Part I
Music note: I told a musical friend that I liked Trent Reznor and Lords of Acid and asked for his recommendations. After commenting that I liked “electrofuckpervsleaze”, which, I had never heard before but immediately dubbed perfect, he suggested VNV Nation. Illusion was the first vid to pop up on YouTube, and I was hooked… Continue Reading
The Reckoning, Part II
This is Part I that I wrote earlier tonight. It’s best to read Part I before reading Part II, but it’s not necessary. I promise you I will return to the subject of my mojo by the end of this entry. Another thing that came up in my last therapy session was how the hell… Continue Reading
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, Part I
As Rob M. noted in the last entry, I haven’t posted in awhile. And, while my mom was here, I posted less frequently than I normally do. There is a reason for that. Though my mom and I have made great strides in our way of relating with each other, there is still a… Continue Reading
