Honestly, I’m not sure why this quote page listed Adam Savage as the reference for this quote. “Jack of all Trades, Master of None, though ofttimes better than a Master of One.” It’s a very old quote that in more modern terms is used in a derogatory way. Which seems silly. Do you want aContinue reading “Things TikTok Taught Me About Myself”

I got caughtContinue reading “This Letter Is To You:”
DBT Stuff
When my therapist recommended DBT class to me many years ago, the class was in person at our Mental Health Facility. In the days before COVID happened. It was a small group of about 10 people, the doctor who lead the group, and an intern who participated and observed. Things shifted drastically after the pandemic.Continue reading “DBT Stuff”
Everything Is Awful and I’m Not Okay: Questions to Ask Before Giving Up
I’ve seen a few versions of this and I absolutely love it. Right now I’m actually doing pretty good despite how bad things have been going in my life lately.

Sexual Assault Awareness Month
TRIGGER WARNING: Sexual Assault discussions #SAAM I was assaulted in high school by a friend. I had a crush on him. He was dating one of my friends.

Swimsuit Season
The last time I went swimming, like actually actively swimming, was probably in 2019 before all of the COVID stuff happened. My tiny stepdaughter loves to swim and we would go to the local state park’s pool every chance we could get. My cheap Walmart swimsuit was not very good and as you can seeContinue reading “Swimsuit Season”
April Fools
Well, this is no April Fools prank, thankfully. Back in 2015, my SO listened to me bellyache and moan about how terrible all the blind dates I’d gone on were. He’d known me for quite some time while I was married to my not-so-great ex-husband. He was a huge support and friend during my divorce.Continue reading “April Fools”

Pressure
Gas prices have risen to $4 a gallon. So trips are being limited. Going out only when it’s necessary… but that’s still hard because my SO and I want to keep up with karate. And taking my stepdaughter to and from school is NOT an option. School is still very much in person. To combatContinue reading “Pressure”
