I'm pretty vulnerable right now. I've been slipping a bit the last little bit, and today it got pretty bad. Not doing very well in the morning dailies (chats with the Big Guy, study, etc.), and it's showed. I've been quicker to be overwhelmed, quicker to frustration, quicker to anger, quicker to make decisions that … Continue reading 2021-06-14 — The Rally

Hiya, folks. 😊 I'm feeling a little of the Sunday blues right now? I haven't had those in a long time, and they only just started coming on in the last 15 minutes or so. Well... I guess things were a little hard for a brief bit earlier today as well because one of the … Continue reading 2021-06-13 — Permanentizing
2021-06-12 — Needling Around
I'm ready for a Sabbath. 😊 It's been quite the crazy week. Seems like so much has happened. Good good week. 😊 Let's see... today... up, a few dailies, then off to work. My first job was a nightmare, but she stopped me in the middle, so that was a bit of an escape. She … Continue reading 2021-06-12 — Needling Around
2021-06-11 — Beat
I'm just beat. It's been a long, exhausting day, and at the moment, I'm not in a very good space--a bit frustrated (residual frustration... meaning that I'm not really frustrated at anything directly, just leftovers leading to a bad attitude). Let's see... the day... I hadn't heard from my friend early this morning about the … Continue reading 2021-06-11 — Beat
2021-06-10 — A Count Ant
Um... an 18 gauge needle is HUGE!!! 😶 The needles I ordered to aspirate my knee came in today, and I looked at the diameter of the needle through the sterile packaging, and my eyes went. 😲 Call me a wuss, but it makes me think twice about aspirating my own prepatellar bursitis bubble on … Continue reading 2021-06-10 — A Count Ant
2021-06-09 — Muchos Triggeros
Day started off early and triggery... My brain woke up around 6:30, far before I wanted to get up, and it was just one triggering thought after another--an absolute onslaught that lasted for like... two hours--trying to sleep while simultaneously trying to beat out the thoughts. And the day was filled with triggers, right, left, … Continue reading 2021-06-09 — Muchos Triggeros

Hola, mon peeps! Happy Tuesday. 😊 I'm running late to bed today, yet again, for lots of reasons... Took forever to find the fire extinguishers I want for my skid steer and mini excavator, but I wanted to buy them ASAP because I've tentatively got my first customer next weekish (heavy-equipment rental), and I want … Continue reading 2021-06-08 — Nothing Major
2021-06-07 — This is My Perfect Migraine 🙃
Migraine today, much of the day. After doing a little reading, I'm wondering... could it be possible that all of my "edge" issues (meaning the symptoms I feel which include some or all of the following: exhaustion, unable to think, labored speech, headache, nausea, slap happiness , dry mouth/frequent urination [that last one only after … Continue reading 2021-06-07 — This is My Perfect Migraine 🙃
2021-06-06 — This is My Perfect Moment
I tried to be prepared for today. I think I was as prepared as I personally was able to be. And... I'm proud of myself today, if that's not too bad to say. That said, it's still been one of the hardest days of my life, and that's not hyperbole. Lots of tears. Lots of … Continue reading 2021-06-06 — This is My Perfect Moment
2021-06-05 — Muchos Carros
So... I did a long work day. A looooong workday. Probably not the best idea. I sort of justified it because I haven't worked on cars much at all lately, so there's been a lot of outgo on the money front, nothing on the income, and lots and lots of people just waiting and waiting … Continue reading 2021-06-05 — Muchos Carros
