Past Artwork Reflection

I need to clear out some of the space in my Cloud Storage so I’ve been trying to see what files I actually need and what could be removed. I’m beginning to think this is a bigger task than I realized. I don’t want to delete everything. I have looked at a lot of myContinue reading “Past Artwork Reflection”

March

Today is Mardi Gras Day! Fat Tuesday is the last day of the Carnival season as it always falls the day before Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. Which means tomorrow is Ash Wednesday. Something that probably only matters if you are Catholic or Christian. (When I was an active Baptist, we would giveContinue reading “March”

Prep Day – Built in Cope Ahead

I woke up this morning after staying up a bit late and ended up having myself a pack of the “instant” udon noodles. Shrimp flavor. These noodles are so nice and easy. It takes like 2 minutes to cook. I usually do my own instructions though. I add the powder to the water once itContinue reading “Prep Day – Built in Cope Ahead”

Self-Care and Practicing DBT

DBT Tools is one of my favorite websites when I need to reconnect with my DBT skills. I’ll admit, I haven’t really done any structured DBT work in a few months. I’m not sure if I can feel it. I had to do some self-reflection for this post to contemplate whether or not it wasContinue reading “Self-Care and Practicing DBT”

Library Day

I rushed out today thinking that I needed to be available at a certain time for my Psych doctor phone call appointment… but it’s tomorrow. Yay for losing track of days. What is today? A day. Like anything other days. Derp derp. Well, tomorrow I have my first appointment with the new Psychiatrist at theContinue reading “Library Day”

Happy Birthday to my Dad in Heaven

I added a bunch of music to my cellphone recently and was playing through it while driving. And my Dad’s custom ringtone popped up as a song and it nearly killed me. I pulled over and bawled like a baby. I’m making it through this month without any therapy. Normal grief is a bit hardContinue reading “Happy Birthday to my Dad in Heaven”

Manic Brain

I’ve hit one of those manic phases where I’m absolutely unproductive. I tried to ride the energy train and do as many things as I could, but now I’m just … so hyper. It’s not as bad as when I’m unmedicated, but the major ups and downs during bipolar are still pretty debilitating. So IContinue reading “Manic Brain”

Happy February~!

Today is such a special day in so many aspects! Happy Chinese/Lunar New Year to everyone who celebrates! It’s the year of the Tiger! Imbolc Blessings To You. February has a lot of other events happening as well. My SO won’t brag, but he’s got a birthday this month. Creeping up in his mid-30’s now!Continue reading “Happy February~!”

A Music Kind of Day

I drew a doodle today. Because today was one of those no-brain days. I’m not in a great place mentally. I’m listening to upbeat music. Some of my favorite musicals. Some Disney stuff. When your brain can’t be positive, you give it some help. I honestly can’t believe January is almost over. It feels likeContinue reading “A Music Kind of Day”

Realistic Resolutions

I took the owl doodles and threw them into my “resolution” list. I wasn’t planning to make a list, but during my therapy session, my therapist urged me to at least pick a few things to work towards this year. After a bit of contemplation, I think the above is a decent amount of goalsContinue reading “Realistic Resolutions”
