Dark Moods

2024’s mood so far is depressed. This is definitely not what I intended this year to be. I don’t have anything awful going on, so when I get really dumpy– I feel guilt for being sad for no reason. My joy has been sparse so far this year. Getting back on my antidepressant hasn’t seemed to help. It’s been probably over two weeks, maybe it won’t help this time. I wonder how much that drink I had a…

Day 93

Storytime… I get to school early in the morning, and occasionally I walk in the front door at the same time as parents who are dropping off their child at the “before school” Care program– a program for parents who have to work early and need the school to look after their child until school starts. A couple days ago, there was a parent walking in behind me. I let him in without checking his ID…

Strange Days

Day 80. March 21, 2024 Life has been a little crazy. Work has been busy- but good. I think after almost two school years, I’m finally settling in. Our basement isn’t done, but it’s painted and the floor is about 10% complete! Hubby has been making slow, but steady progress and I’m trying to be patient. I finally got around to rescheduling my rheumatology appointment that I cancelled at the end…

Day #58, no weed. Day approximately #50 of no Bupropion (antidepressant). I’ve been feeling all the feels, most haven’t been good. There were days last week that I thought about getting back on Bupropion. There were days the past two weeks where I thought my family might kick me out of the house (kidding.. sort of..). There were days where I almost kicked my entire family out. It doesn’t help…

Fifty is Nifty

Sometimes I’m reminded how grateful I am to not be a drinker anymore. Today was one of those days. It’s Monday, and I have the day off thanks to Presidents Day. We watched a movie later than planned, then snacked on cheese and chatted with the boys for a bit and didn’t get to bed until almost 1:00am. Once asleep, I slept well but woke up super groggy. I didn’t drink a smoothie yesterday, so I…

My Dream Home

Write about your dream home. My dream home is a paradise. In the spring & summer, the colors are vivid and the energy is contagious. In autumn, things get darker .. and then finally a “still” white- where rest and reset is top priority and, the long dark days allow ample time to think & reflect. My dream home connects with loved ones daily, both here & in the afterlife. My dream home gives me…

All My Jewels

February 3, 2024 Day #34 of no weed. It was a good crutch for awhile, but now I know that I’ll never go back. All my most precious jewels are made of paper, not metal. You see, my hubby has this habit of making me a ring, out of straw wrappers every time we go out to eat. He’s done this for years, but it wasn’t until recently that I began to really appreciate it. It started with my nephew-…

It Feels Good to Feel Good

Happy Saturday! It’s day 20, hooray! I’m so glad I made that decision on January 1st to break a dumb habit that I knew wasn’t serving me. When I was young, we used to go stay at my grandparents’ little cabin up in Luzern, MI- a quiet town that had one stop light with one bar/restaurant, post office and hardware store. One time we had a relative that I never met come and visit us. I don’t…

Day 17

Boy has it been like the best week ever! I had MLK day off work on Monday- so I was ecstatic for a three day weekend. The Universe gifted me two extra days, because it was too cold to go to school on Tuesday and Wednesday. I’ve been thoroughly enjoying this five day weekend- and taking advantage of the extra time. I started to finally workout on Sunday! I’ve been alternating between the bike and…

Day 14: People in Detroit are Losing their S***

It’s a wonderful Sunday, because I don’t have to work tomorrow 🎉 Today marks two weeks of no pot. Actually, I’m loving it! I feel smarter- and more confident. And I treated myself to a ridiculously expensive sweat outfit (Aviator Nation- I love the feel & quality of this brand). I’ve been eying it since before Christmas and splurged because I’m doing great with this and haven’t been and won’t go…

Day 11 on 1/11

Today marks day 11 of no weed! So far, it’s been easy 🙌🏻 I think it was mainly a habit. It didn’t alter my mind much at all (I built a high tolerance), but sure made me hungry and lazy! The first night I thought a little bit about it, not so much the 2nd night & by the third night I was like, “eh, pot, what’s that again?” I don’t want to downplay it. It feels good to be free of it. People say…

Our Nice Reliant Automobile

It’s been said that all emotions come from love or fear. Early in my sobriety, I went to AA meetings and tried working the steps numerous times. I always got hung up on step 4. I couldn’t remember what I ate for lunch yesterday, how the heck was I supposed to remember everyone who had done me wrong throughout my life? Triggers. As it turns out, I didn’t have to remember anything. I just had to…

Day 3

It’s a cold, drizzly Wednesday evening here. It’s been a good week- a relaxing one. I haven’t gotten much done, but hopefully will be more productive the next few days. If not, I’m okay with it. Today I couldn’t do much- I was just not well. I should have known I was off because when I get up in the morning, the first thing I do is feed the pets, let them out, etc. Not today. I got up and was…

Being Simply Rich

It’s a damp and cold Sunday morning, with the surprise of waking up to a dusting of snow. Yuck. It’s still falling– I wonder how much we’re going to get today. So far, this winter has been very kind to us here in Michigan. We’ve barely gotten any snow and the temperatures have been overall mild. It’s hard to believe that Christmas was already like a week ago! It came and left so fast, if not for…

Bye Holidays, So Long 2023

It’s two days after Christmas and I’m grateful it’s over. The family parties were tough at times, but I managed to stay sane. Often, I’d blow up when we get home, from stress. Or I’d complain to hubby about his mom venting to me. This time, he’s the one that complained. Normally, it’d make me angry to hear that my mean sister had talked smack about my hubby during my family’s party. I didn’t…
