Just Keep Going

Just Keep Going

There's no surprise that this post is late. You know, holidays and the recovering from holidays. Germs and the recovering from germs. Usually all at once. I'm going to start off by saying the big, sad thing that's taking over most of my thoughts right now. My uncle had a heart attack and died yesterday. He was only about fifty years old. Just gone. I haven't had to deal with death much in my life, been fairly sheltered from it beyond losing pets. And this is some weird, surre

I might have said something like this in another recent post, but it's what I wrote down on this eye-retina-searing pink sticky note as a topic for this week: And now that I've shared this, I don't really know what else to say about it, to expand or explain.

As of this moment in time, I feel like I'm finally defeating those demons that have gnawed on my brain for the last many years.

A very busy last week full of chores, errands, holiday preparation, Halloween and eleventh wedding anniversary celebrations so here is a late blog post. I have not forgotten, just had to prioritize life. Because of this, I wrote myself a note of two topics to share and talk about at you, whoever you are, my readers, as soon as I had the chance to sit down and write it out at length. First up, my friend, Ashley, had made some Louise Belcher (from the show Bob's Burgers) pink b
