Exploring Life One Pixel At A Time
The closer it gets to Christmas and my birthday, the worse I feel. Well, maybe not worse. I don’t really know how to describe what I’m feeling other than “nothing.” I just feel empty. As if someone reached inside me and ripped out all of my emotions leaving behind an empty shell of the woman…
Christmas Expo is fast approaching (See Press Release for more info). I love this event. The people who run it are always friendly and bring a lot of holiday cheer to it. And face it, this year, we need a lot of cheer. It has been a long, sucky year that has been very hard…
Even if we can’t all be together this year, there are many ways to celebrate as friends and families… This picture has been sitting on my PC for a few days now because after I finished it, my mind was so chaotic that I didn’t know what to write about. This year has been such…
Last week was hell. I ended up in the ER on the fourth with chest pains. Don’t worry, it wasn’t a heart attack, but it sure felt like one. I was so sick. The EMT pushed on my chest and I cried out in pain. I had pleurisy from a bacterial infection that caused inflammation…
Finding your safe haven in the middle of the current “storm” is difficult if you’re alone. I am lucky in that I have this man lifting me up. He’s my safe haven and confidant. It’s also helpful to have friends who let you talk about your feelings while not judging you for them. While those…
I hate when I fall ill. It takes away from all of my plans for the whole week. At the same time, it shows me when I’ve been overdoing and not taking good care of myself. I ended up in the ER last night because of it. I’ve been having pains in my chest off…
Today was one of those days where you just want to rewind the whole day, go back to bed, and hope that the next day is better. I woke up with a scratchy throat, lungs that feel tight where it’s hard to draw a complete breath, and other stuff. Emotionally, I feel as if my…
Earlier this month, I started writing affirmations for use when my anxiety kicks in and I need to calm myself. Things like “It’s okay to not be okay” and “I am human, I am not perfect. I will fall and that is okay.” I have more but they’re deeply personal so I’m not going to…
This weekend is the Making Strides walk. It should be fun. I got my information earlier today and already have enough sponsors to walk. The event takes place from October 24th, starting at 10 am SLT and ends at 6 pm SLT. Donation collections start the next day until the 31st. It should be fun….
Buckle up, Buttercup, this little witch is tired, frustrated, and in a lot of pain. Today has been a long one. It started with waking up with swollen arms and legs, joint pain, and a headache. Then it went downhill from there. My RL dad is very sick. He’s so weak that he can barely…
