Ollie had surgery today.  He had a leaking mole and three cysts removed, and also a dental.  The vet said his teeth were amazing!  They needed a cleaning, but for a 10.5 year old dog, she was so happy about them.  He has never had to have a tooth pulled. […]

Face shot of Ollie in his blue cone of shame. You can see Hestia peeking by next to him, wondering what all this is about!

This morning when I woke up, my mood was about a 3/10 where 1 is the most depressed ever, and 10 is most manic ever.  I had a bit of a hard time getting going, but I knew I’d have fun with CJ and Dan.  Leaving the house was hard, […]

When you’re down, a supportive friend can really help. TRIGGER WARNING: Suicide 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Today I’ve been very depressed.  Yes, suicidally.  Fortunately (?) the suicidal depression is common for me, so it doesn’t mean I need to go to the hospital.  It usually […]

Today was voting day!  Brad is very involved with voting education, so we posted that we would give anyone a ride who needed one, and would help anyone who needed help with voting on Nextdoor.  No one needed a ride, but someone needed help with a recent move and a […]

by (updated 2252 days ago)

I’m having a rough time tonight, thinking I am the worst person in the world, lower than dirt (actually dirt is pretty cool stuff…..).  I decided I was going to have a talk with myself, with these negative voices in  my head.  I’m not sure yet if I will publish […]
