Sometimes mental health care is like being stuck in a canoe by yourself. You’re paddling and paddling, and you’re just turning in circles. You might need someone in the canoe with you to help you get moving. Whether than be a therapist or doctor. Sometimes you feel like jumping out of the boat is betterContinue reading “Our Mental Health Journey”

Miniature Worlds: Work In Progress
If you recall the miniature Coffee Shoppe kit I bought. I started to work on it just a bit. Motivation has been difficult lately. My brain starts to like the idea of something. That’s the ADHD hyper fixation. And I’m open to working on the task, but then it sort of drifts away. I don’tContinue reading “Miniature Worlds: Work In Progress”
The Neverending Story
This was one of my favorite movies as a child. It was made the year I was born! So I suppose it’s like my theme movie. Imagination! Dreams! The Nothing… Oh man, the Nothing is a real struggle for me. And BOOKS! Wow, I love books. When my ex-husband and I separated, I ended upContinue reading “The Neverending Story”
Snacko Board Breakdown
I posted a few days ago about charcuterie boards. In French tradition, the charcuterie ( (pronounced “shahr-ku-tuh-ree” ) is the art of preparing and assembling cured meats and meat products. Essentially, this is meats’ response to a cheese board. And I’m not one to complain. Boards have become a huge trend. And I mean, whyContinue reading “Snacko Board Breakdown”
The Best Laid Plans
Everything is going according to plans… Have you ever let someone that’s neurodivergent plan something? It’s an amazing and frightening thing all melded together. My brain is often like an internet browser with fifty tabs open. Some of them have music playing and I have no idea which ones they are. Strangely, I feel someContinue reading “The Best Laid Plans”
Anniversaries and Memories
I couldn’t bring myself to post about it yesterday. Facebook reminded me midday and I just broke down sobbing. This time last year, my dad had all of us (his children) come down so that he could break the news to us. His doctors couldn’t do anything else for him. His heart valve was leaking.Continue reading “Anniversaries and Memories”
Frowns All Around
Poor Mood Octopus has been stuck in the angry position the last few days. It’s hard to pretend to be in a good mood for outward appearances. Like going to karate, eating out, and hitting the card shop with my bonus daughter. Keeping the “happy” mask on when you’re around people can be really difficult.Continue reading “Frowns All Around”
Tropical Storm Fred and Me
I was looking at the weather website and noticed this. I can’t help but sometimes wonder if they realize how much power a name gives something? Obviously, my 80’s baby brain goes to Fred Flintstone. Yabba Dabba Doo~! Fred sliding in on that dinosaur tail. I used to love that show as a kid. EvenContinue reading “Tropical Storm Fred and Me”
Library Books and Snacking for Dinner
Since I did not get to post the picture of my Bonus Daughter’s lunch yesterday, here you go. It’s a mystery to me how she likes to eat the same thing all the time. Then again, she will eat Taco Bell and always get the same thing: cheesey rice and bean burrito and cinnamon twistsContinue reading “Library Books and Snacking for Dinner”
Elementary School Lunches
So having a buffer day might be helpful for blogging. We’ll see. One of the “perks” of working at the elementary school consisted of meals. As the afternoon/evening janitor, I wasn’t allowed to leave the campus. Someone was always supposed to be available. During the summer time, we’d take breaks at the same time whichContinue reading “Elementary School Lunches”
