Barcelona – Apr 2025
So back in the post about my 2024 travels, I mentioned a trip that didn’t happen re: medical emergency. The refunds that I managed to get for that trip involved a roundtrip ticket to Barcelona that needed to be used … Continue reading
July 2023 in Review
July was a really hard month. We lost a family friend to ALS right at the beginning. We almost lost a foster kitten. Our a/c failed during one of the worst heat waves we’ve seen in a very long time … Continue reading
June 2023 in Review
Have you ever spent a long period of time just going through the motions, and looking back, it feels like you were sleeping/dreaming for most of that time? That’s what June felt like for me. Part of that was the … Continue reading
May 2023 in Review
May can pretty much be divided into pre-vacation and vacation, an even split down the middle. As such, I had very few of my traditional May PTSD issues. There were enough near the beginning to get me to re-listen to … Continue reading

February 2023 in Review
February has been a monster of a month! Not in a bad way, just very, very FULL. I had weeks where there were literally events or appointments going on daily, some of them taking up 16 hours a day! When … Continue reading
Wellness Wednesday – Note To Self
One of the side effects of Mounjaro is that it slows gastric emptying, essentially making you feel fuller for longer. I don’t know how it does this, or what the point is in terms of what the medicine was originally … Continue reading
January 2023 in Review
January was lovely. Honestly, I’m not used to January being a mostly-good month. My depression cycles – which have remained fairly consistent since I was about 13 or 14 years old – usually involve me having a great first 2-3 … Continue reading
