Dig Deep
I started this blog to work on putting myself out there and to stop living like I needed to appease everyone. With that came the unfortunate truth that I didn’t reveal much about myself and most of my friends were really acquaintances who didn’t know much about me. In retrospect I had so much to…

Daily Prompt 1/18/2023
Where can you reduce clutter in your life? HAHAHAHA!! this is particularly funny as a daily prompt after my earlier post today. I am constantly fighting clutter in most aspects of my life. Literal clutter, electronic clutter, mental clutter. I can reduce the real clutter the easiest, the electronic clutter the second easiest, but the…

Some days I really suck
This morning has been a wreck. My main ADHD struggles are time management, organization in general, and creating piles of clutter. This creates tons of problems for me in various ways. I really struggle to pick it all up once it’s gotten to be too much for my brain. This means piles of clothes where…

Diana Part III
I have been dutifully trying to figure out what happened to my great-great grandmother for almost a year now. It’s not easy because she was never married to my great-great grandfather and I never knew my great grandfather. I’ve written about some of my saga with researching Diana here and here. Recently I found something…

What now?

Standards
The recent development with Biden’s classified documents discovered at multiple locations is really pissing me off. I was equally pissed off about Trump’s documents, Hillary’s server and emails, and every other time an elected or appointed government official has mishandled information. It’s not ok when ANYONE does, no matter what political party they happen to…

Daily Prompt 1/11/2023
What is your mission? My mission? This is a very funny question to me, especially after being in the military for 20 years where I flew missions. This is a very general question, so I guess I can just answer all the variations I can think of. My mission with this blog is to get…

It came today
Since I became an adult, I have had the original copy of my birth certificate that my parents received after I was born. The copy they used to register me for school, for extracurricular activities, again for middle school when we moved, and then in high school when we moved again. I used it to…

Daily Prompt 1/10/2023
Do you want to live forever? No. Actually, yes, but with too many caveats. I don’t want my body to age or my mind to fade, and everyone I love also has to live forever with me. Unless those things come along with living forever, I don’t want it. Being alone forever sounds absolutely miserable.…
