Spock and McCoy Tackle Chronic Pain…
July 25, 2026 This morning I woke up barely able to breathe because my mid back, hips, shoulder, neck, jaw, and head were in extreme pain. I felt paralyzed. Instant panic, because I have been having prolotherapy interventions that have had my waking pain level at maybe two or three out of ten rather than…

Renaming ADHD
April 29, 2026 Lately I have been giving a lot of thought to the names of things – psychological concepts in particular, and the manner in which those names and terms cause me to have sudden irritation or ugher (ugh + anger = ugher), or to roll my eyes right out of my head when…

The Book of Screet
Wednesday, April 22, 2026 Who doesn’t love to invent words?! I am doing it constantly in my busy brain, and I recently came up with SCREET! (scream + yeet = SCREET!) I feel like the word screet should be in all caps with an exclamation point always attached, as it is a combination of the…

Daily Prompt 2026-04-13
Where do you see yourself in 10 years? 2026-04-13 Ha! I usually don’t participate in these daily prompts, but this one is screaming my name.

Unstuck in Time…
November 2025 (I’m pretty sure) I don’t even know what day it is. Sometimes I have to really think to figure out the month, or the year, or my actual age. I recently turned 50 and had to keep reminding myself that I wasn’t turning 40, or 30, or 60. I just knew it was…

Circle Game
I almost never do this; write a post that I intend to publish immediately without worrying and overthinking about how to frame my thoughts. Nothing but a cursory edit. My dreams are sad and dark lately. Sad for my younger self as I navigate parenting my now adult child. I am sitting in a waiting room…

I SPY… ADHD?!
October 29, 2024 A few people who know me well know that I have always wanted to do this. The idea behind this blog was just to get stuff written down and stored someplace, all these random and ridiculous ideas I have that I hope to come back to one day when I have time…

Healing Through WAP
WAP = Word Association Poem Saturday, August 17, 2024 This is another exercise from the Rupi Kaur book Healing Through Words, which I am still so glad to be working through, however slowly. At first I scoffed at it a bit, as the word “healing” has become (well, to me, anyways) pedantic. Overused. Redundant. Insulting,…

Why I Am Not Writing…
March 3, 2024 I joke around a lot about being an overthinker, as I understand how ridiculous it can get, especially when I begin to overthink my overthinking. I have never been able to comprehend how people manage to see a clear path forward and execute plans without doing the insane mental gymnastics that I…
