I’ve been in 5 states in three weeks

08/21 - I've been in 5 states in the last two and a half weeks, and I'm beat!  Like, cannot get enough sleep and haven't had to take a sleep aid in a week kinda tired!   I started this post before my recent trip to the hospital, and I guess it should have been...

Thanks for nothing, anxiety.

So there I was minding my happy Friyay times and wham!  No really wham... right in to the wall.  What started out as not feeling so good turned into the afternoon in the hospital and sleeping 24 hours over the next two days.  Hot flashes, vertigo, lightheadedness, tremors, and this fun little zap right in...

Dear God, I just realized after that title and yesterday's post about dating, I should clarify that no, this is not a dating in real life post... but I am sure it would be hilarious too!  Also, for clarification, I love the Mediterranean and the Med's delicious food... however that smell on a man... not so...

I digress, already. I know I’m absurd.

So today was a MUUUUNNNNDAAAYA.  Not any worse or better than another, but ya know just the kind of day that you think, "I will start 'not drinking' during the work week, another day".  I mean why would anyone start 'not drinking' the first day after the weekend?  Seriously, I miss my kid, and my dog, and...

Do NOT look in my junk mail folder!

I repeat, do not look in my junk folder! I do not know what I signed up to receive but there is more XXX stuff up in there than at the local sex shop!  Dear Lord!  I mean if the subject line makes me blush, I do not even want to open the email to...

Oh really?!

I just read these words after a panic attack: The real battle is in your mind. And your mind is under your control, not the other way around. And then I flicked off the computer screen. No shit, the battle is in my mind, and it is allllllllllllll the tiiiiiiiiiiiime!  And during the attack, control...
