Mom asked some interesting questions this morning that I thought about while working today and that I learned about as I was coming home (late) tonight. The basic gist of her questions was this: What happens to the calves of "happy" dairy cows (we've stopped eating meat, so I wasn't thinking about beef cattle)? What … Continue reading 2020-12-05 — Lacto Down

2020-12-04 — Small Price for Peace
The bone in my body that screams for justice isn't very happy, but it's completely drowned out right now by the bone that is enjoying peace. The guy called back again today and again threatened me. This time, saying that he was going to fool me, that he was gonna have somebody call up asking … Continue reading 2020-12-04 — Small Price for Peace
2020-12-03 — A Bit Flustered
Well... it's been an interesting end to the day, and I'm late to bed... and I'm flustered. I have a customer who basically threatened my life. Something like, "I'll find you, and you'll be done." Lovely. So... the story... no... I'm not gonna write it beautifully, just the guts...Sorry... I'm... flustered. Anyway, a lady called … Continue reading 2020-12-03 — A Bit Flustered
2020-12-02 — 9:00 or Bust
I've got 7 minutes to write this entry because I ain't gonna miss my bedtime tonight. Nope. Ain't gonna. So... here we go. Didn't start off so well. Relapsed, but I'm passed it and have moved on. I was embarrassed to write about it today because I just... yeah. So many times lately. But this … Continue reading 2020-12-02 — 9:00 or Bust
2020-12-01 — Trying Not to Let the End Taint the Day
Hey, folks. It's been a pretty decent day on most accounts, but the last 20 minutes has been super discouraging, and that happens to be where I'm at as I'm here writing my journal right now now. 😕 It's 10:37. I just came in from chopping wood for the night because we'd used up just … Continue reading 2020-12-01 — Trying Not to Let the End Taint the Day
2020-11-30 — And Suddenly It Was December
I really don't know how this year has gone by so quickly. It's just astounding. Last day of November, and it's just nutty. It's late, so I'm not gonna write much. Please send as many prayers/positive vibes Cory's way as you can. It's been one of those days for him that is just excruciating. Been … Continue reading 2020-11-30 — And Suddenly It Was December
2020-11-29 — Back to Titles
Hiya, folks. 😊 I'm running a little low on energy today. I decided to sleep in front of the fire last night in the hopes that I'd be able to have the house warm for my mom when she got up in the morning because I'd have kept it going all night. Well... I was … Continue reading 2020-11-29 — Back to Titles
2020-11-28 — Gratitude Week, Day 7
Osiyo, mon peeps! 😊 Happy Saturday. 😊 It's been a pretty crazy day today. Started out pretty rough because even though I made into bed last night without relapsing after having been triggered earlier while trying to find health information for my friend, I didn't make it out of bed this morning without relapsing. 🙁 … Continue reading 2020-11-28 — Gratitude Week, Day 7
2020-11-27 — Gratitude Week, Day 6
Holar, mon peeps! Happy Friday! It's been in interesting one today. Can I send forth a cathartic blast of... stuff before I think happy thoughts? 🙃 Well... maybe I'll just try and stay positive through it all and just stick to gratitude. Yep. Okay... let's do that. Let positivity reign... and rain. 😁 #1. I'm … Continue reading 2020-11-27 — Gratitude Week, Day 6
