I don’t think it’s going to be ok
There is a shortage of adderall. There has been for about 6 months or so. Up until last month this shortage didn’t affect me much, sometimes I just had to wait a day or two for it to be filled. It wasn’t a big deal until last month, when my wife had to call around…

Hard conversation…wrapped up
I had that conversation this morning and it went…surprisingly well. I wasn’t nervous at all, even while we were talking. I was able to say pretty much everything on my list, some of it casually and other things directly. It was all taken well and I think things will go ok. What I was most…

Triggered
This was upsetting to read. I remember my mom pushing me away around this same age. Maybe younger. And reading this hurt in a way I wasn’t expecting at all. I’m on good terms with my mom right now. There’s been so much healing over the past 6 months. But her rejection all those years…

The End of an Era
In the US Air Force, as in all military branches, there is a hierarchy of organizations. To make it easy, I’ll just talk the basics on a base. You have the wing, which is composed of groups. And each group is composed of squadrons, some sorted by job or career field like civil engineering, and…

Relief
We finally reached an off-ramp in my wife’s mammogram journey. Whew!! As I wrote about here, the same day that my wife learned that her grandmother passed away, she also got a call that they saw something on her mammogram and wanted to take another look. It was stressful, but ended up pushed to the…
