Bipolar Life ”memed” me yesterday. I wasn’t really sure what that meant, until I looked at his blog and followed the other bloggers that had been “memed.” As far as I can figure, it’s a sort of game, where you connect bloggers with other bloggers. A very good way to find some fascinating blogs! Oh, and [...]

A sound night’s sleep has eluded me for the past week. I’m not quite sure what to chalk it up to, but I think maybe I have been using my sun lamp too much. That, and I’ve started eating again, which is definitely making me feel different. Nauseous and disgusting, truth be told. I suppose that’s [...]

Within the past few months, I have experienced and expressed a coming-and-going feeling of general dissatisfaction with my life. With my job, with where I live, with what I am doing with my life. I can honestly say that within the past month, those feelings of dissatisfaction have faded, leaving me with only positive feelings about [...]

I have always thought of myself as a clean and tidy person. (I have also told Mom on more than one occasion that I am not a complicated person, to which she strongly objects, but that’s another post for another day) That myth has been shattered recently, by not one, but two people. When I first [...]

Work called me about fifteen minutes ago and told me that they didn’t need me to come in. WTF? Since when does Rose get a Saturday off? Or two days off in a row? It just doesn’t happen!! Or hasn’t happened since I started at the orange hell-hole home improvement store. They said that they [...]

I am allowed to wake Matt up in 32 minutes. He refused to get up with me at 3:00 a.m. and told me I am not normal. That’s what happens when I go to bed early! At least Mom had the “self-preservation” talk with him, in regard to sleep. Basically, the women in our family [...]

Listening to Postal Service after a good night’s sleep, listening to M breathe deeply in his sleep in the other room. It just doesn’t get any better than that. I have my Sonic latte at hand, just checked the balance on my debit card. Getting things done that need to be done, and enjoying every [...]
Grace in Imperfection

Too much. Not enough. Just right. That is how my life has been going lately. In an attempt to find balance in life, I’ve been turning the knob on my hypothetical station, trying to get something tuned in that keeps me mellow, but has a beat that I can dance to. Within the past week, I [...]
