Well, it's the third day after working with a whole bunch of poison ivy, so you know what that means. 🙃 Yep. It's all over my face, my arms, and my legs. This time I got it in a new place as well. It's on my neck. I've never had poison ivy on my neck … Continue reading 2024-05-30 (Thursday) — Poison Ivy Joy

2024-05-29 — Big Tree Burn
(written on the 30th) I took a day off today from things that are or could be more stressful. Today was just a grunt labor day. I haven't done any packing or really done anything to speak of on JustAnswer, not since before the storm. That means I'm not going to make my financial goal … Continue reading 2024-05-29 — Big Tree Burn
2024-05-28 (Tuesday) — Tree, Part 2
(written on the 30th) First thing I did was head over to the tree to make sure it hadn't fallen. I actually went by with my mom late because I heard a noise crash sometime after midnight or 1:00 or whenever it was, and she was curious and I wanted to see if the tree … Continue reading 2024-05-28 (Tuesday) — Tree, Part 2
2024-05-27 — The Tree, Part 1

2024-05-21 — Success at the Deck
Hey, folks. Nothing much to report. Not very many people read anymore anyway. Not that i blame them. I don't write much anymore, and what I do write isn't useful or positive. It's... unhappy. Not very incentivising to read. And today is just more of the same. I should just stop writing altogether. I'm more … Continue reading 2024-05-21 — Success at the Deck
2024-05-12 — Shut Down
Hi, folks. I've gone downhill pretty good. I'm not really functional anymore. It's about all I can do to even do little productive things, let alone the things I need to do to move forward with all the things that need to be done right now. I'm emotionally overwhelmed. Stressed to my limits. I don't … Continue reading 2024-05-12 — Shut Down
2024-05-06 (Monday) — Alone
The last several days have been... very hard for me. Life on its own has already been overwhelming to me, for years now. I live my daily life on the ragged edge of my emotions. I'm always on the verge of breakdown... meltdown... I'm just so tired. Life tired. I don't really write about what … Continue reading 2024-05-06 (Monday) — Alone
2024-04-30 — Goodbye April
(written over the course of multiple days, starting on the 30th and ending on May 3rd) Howdy folks! There's not a whole lot to report, which I guess is kind of funny because the life upheaval is in full swing. 🙃 The going forward plans at this point are for Thomas to have a tiny … Continue reading 2024-04-30 — Goodbye April
2024-04-23 — Off the Crutches!!!
(written on the 25th) Not much to say about Sunday and Monday, so I'll just combine the three days into today's entry. We chatted with Thomas on Sunday morning about the news that we were needing to move in the next couple of months or so. It's tough for all of us right now, a … Continue reading 2024-04-23 — Off the Crutches!!!
