It's been a while. Since I last wrote, I had a surgery to remove the scar tissue from my uterus. During my recovery, in response to the hormones I was taking, and a combination of life related stressors, I suffered a pretty intense nervous break down, and had to take several months off of work …
Sunday Mornings/Being a Quaker who Can’t Sit Still is a Little Bit Ironic
Sunday morning is kind of a time when I feel like I should be at church, but I don't attend church. I am a member of a Quaker meeting in Orange County, California. The funniest thing to me being a Quaker is that at a Quaker meeting everyone sits in silence and waits to be …

Just Being/ Okay/ I’m Okay, Okay?
How am I supposed to just be these days? If I stay quiet IRL is that the same as not posting on Facebook/Instagram/Wordpress/My Blog for a week? Will you know I am okay? Will I know I am okay? If is the internet doesn't know that I am okay, am I okay? What is okay anyway? …
Loss is Loss
I don't have anything funny to say about this. I am not in a joking mood, so I don't think you should read this if you don't want to read something sad. Today we lost another baby. It was a fur baby this time, but the loss hurts just as much if not more than …

Hi Guys. Trigger warning if the title didn't clue you in, I'm going to talk about having a miscarriage right now. I have shared pretty openly about things in the past, and so I will share again, but this one might be less humorous than normal, because, well, it has to be. Charles and I …

It’s Birthday Week or Let’s Kick Self Judgement in the Ass
I woke up this morning and after thinking about the lives of my peers I wondered if, on the precipice of my 34th birthday, it could be said that all the choices that I've made up until this point of my life have really been so poor that I cannot turn my life around. This …

My Sun Mustache or Be Grateful You’re Laughing
When I was a little girl, I walked up to a middle aged lady while in a Rite Aid and asked her why she had a beard. Because the Universe has somehow decided that I am important enough to care about spiting me for this behavior, I was blessed with a mustache that is actually …

Adulting or Look Mom I Can Feed Myself!
There is a lot of controversy over the new term adulting. You can go down a internet wormhole on it if you want, and read about how millennials are entitled and silly, and make a big deal out of ourselves because we cook dinner or go on a run, but here's what I have to to …
Bikini Pics and Book Clubs
I have done a lot of shameless self promotion of my weight loss lately, and I am not ashamed at all of that. I think that social media and the internet should be used to inspire those around us, and ourselves. I have been working hard on my body and my health, and I want …
