Day 116: Spite

Sometimes, it really sucks being the only sober girl at the party. I don't care what you need to do for fun, but leave me out of it. I don't care about your life decisions. Do what you want, but I'm not interested. Did you know that today was Hitler's birthday? Feel free to keep … Continue reading Day 116: Spite →

Day 115: Damp

It is so freaking hot out today. As much as I'm looking forward to Summer's arrival, I can honestly say that I'm not ready yet. This damp, heavy heat isn't for me. It slows me down and I'm exhausted way to early. I think I'll spend the evening in front of the air conditioner.

Day 114: Up the Spout

Personal growth is an amazing thing. Other people will probably notice the changes first but it's even better when you notice it. This all comes up because a coworker of mine; let's call her Brandy; has been going through IVF. This is her second cycle and everything seems to be going smoothly this time. The last … Continue reading Day 114: Up the Spout →

Day 113: Hidden for Today

Today was a free day for me. I spent most of it trying to hide in my room. Hella productive. My work week starts tomorrow and I decided to not worry about life until then. That has been challenging because my brain can't just be quiet for a change. I binge watched some youtube stuff … Continue reading Day 113: Hidden for Today →

Day 112: Leaves and Branches

Today, I visited my old home. The property used to belong to my grandparents and I grew up in the house with them, my mom, and my aunts and uncles. The old house isn't there anymore. My aunt had a new one built and she lives there now. The construction process meant that lots of … Continue reading Day 112: Leaves and Branches →

Day 111: Make a Change

Words, my friends, have power. The things that people say and even implied messages have such a huge effect on us. It's a miracle that we can process anything with all the language that we are receiving daily. This includes advertising, media, and so on. I don't know how many times that the media has shown … Continue reading Day 111: Make a Change →

Day 110: More Victories

Today, I... --Made it through the workday with my sanity intact! --Made plans to see some friends tomorrow. --Got some really exciting news! Can't wait to share when I can. --Made it home before the weather turned ugly. --Totally got paid and it's Friday night! I hope you can take stock of your wins today, … Continue reading Day 110: More Victories →

Day 109: Pent Up

I feel like screaming... Nothing is really wrong. Just really stressed. Work is trying. Classes are getting more demanding. My mother is having surgery in the morning. Funds are running low. All sorts of nonsense. I don't have a good stress relief system sat times. I used to hit things in my yard with a … Continue reading Day 109: Pent Up →

Day 108: Blues

Work is hard. Could be worse and will probably get there. There's less than thirty days left. We're on the downhill slide. Summer is coming and the kids can feel it. We can feel it too. Patience is running thin.

Day 107: Storyteller

I have lots of tales stuck in my head. Romances, adventures, things like that. One of the things they have in common is that they all have Black woman heroines. I don't see enough positive portrayals in society, so I have to work on it myself. The other thing is that all these stories don't … Continue reading Day 107: Storyteller →
