Updates and More
I keep jumping on, writing a post, intending to get back at blogging daily but then I don’t. I can’t really figure out why this keeps happening. I started out the year strong, but got distracted for some unknown reason. Maybe it’s just that I got really busy with kid sports and life. Maybe I…

I disappeared
I had to disappear for awhile. Not in my “real life”, but away from my blog and from the hard things I fight in my head. I’m still not 100% over whatever it is that has been bothering me, but today I decided I was ready to come back. I am not sure if it’s…

Shot day
Today is Friday, the day I give myself a tiny injection of testosterone. I’ve been looking forward to this since Wednesday or so. This was my fifth week injecting myself. I don’t mind needles and so the idea of injecting myself wasn’t scary to me. I’ve had no trouble with it, especially because my doctor’s…

Hate or Fear
WIth Ohio House Bill (HB) 68 being hot in the news lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about why it’s such a big deal around the world these past few years. I remember the Caitlyn Jenner stuff in 2015 and the bathroom bill stuff around the same time, maybe a little later. And suddenly here…

Daily Prompt 12/31/23
Perfect prompt for NYE! I feel nostalgic about the 80s, the 90s, news stories about the MIddle East, toys I grew up with, and shows and movies from my childhood. You know, the things that make everyone feel nostalgic! I feel nostalgic for the times when I thought I could do anything or go anywhere…

Taylor Swift, Swifties, and their enemies
I have to start with this…I have casually listened to T-Swift for years. I was behind the times in more recent years, but I never really found myself annoyed with her or with any really negative opinion of her. I remember the Kanye mess in 2009 and my older two were really annoyed by her…

Excuse me, sir
Since my surgery, I have been venturing out slowly and steadily. This past weekend I had to go to the pet store to grab some hay for the guinea pig. It was later in the evening than I’ve usually gone there, so I felt a little bit of familiar worry about being out after dark.…

Daily Prompt 12/1/23
I’m not vegan or vegetarian, so I do eat meat. I don’t view eating meat as some kind of weird flex either. I can’t stand seeing people act like they’re asserting some kind of dominance over animals by eating meat. That being said, I don’t enjoy eating red meat all the time. I know some…

Household Labor
I started watching this documentary about the division of household labor and how men tend to overestimate their contribution while women underestimate how much they do. It pissed me off for a ton of reasons, but mostly because I’ve seen it exactly as described as a child and as an adult. I’ve lived it from…

Make it make sense
With my upcoming surgery, I find myself in my head a lot lately when I’m alone. Not my old self-doubt thoughts like “Is this what I really want? Is this really, 100% who I am?” Instead it’s been going like this-“What will it feel like to run without that extra weight I’ve had all this…
