  • Sleep is weird.

    I’m doing a lot of sleeping these days. At the same time, I’m struggling to get enough sleep. Yanno? That doesn’t seem to make sense, but it’s where I’m at. I’ll lie in bed for hours waiting to be taken away to dreamland on the sleepy time express, but the train just sits in the…

  • I finally pulled out my paints.

    I finally pulled out my paints.

    I’ve been meaning to pull out my painting stuff all month. Tonight I finally did it! I cued up Bob Ross on Netflix and got messy. Oh, hey! I just realized that they didn’t say, “take chances, make mistakes, get messy,” in the new Magic School Bus series. That’s one of my most favourite quotes…

  • Torn.

    Do you ever feel pulled in two directions at the same time? That’s kinda what I’m feeling right now. Except… * big sigh* it’s multiple directions and on every level of my being. I really, really don’t want to write a blog post. But I also really don’t want to miss a day. So yes,…

  • Feeling both good and bad.

    The past couple days have been weird in that I’ve been feeling somewhat down and stuff, which isn’t totally new. But I’m also feeling pretty good. Mentally and emotionally speaking, here of course. Other than that, my stomach is feeling pretty good. 🙂 Anyway, that’s it for today. M3

  • I’m sad.

    I’m sad tonight. I’m feeling sad, frustrated, disappointed, and probably a few other emotions. This will have to do for today’s post. I did have a full post thought out, but it’ll take more energy than I have right now. Today’s been a good day, though! ^_^ Hopefully you’ve had a good day as well.…

  • Ugh…

    I picked up Rebeckah a little bit ago and the car was acting weird… weirdly… oddly… not normal… something like that. The engine kept dying when I stopped or slowed down to a crawl. It’s so weird because it was working perfectly fine (finely?) last night when I drove it down the street. At least, I…

  • It’s happening… again.

    Stomach pain! My stomach is hurting again. What does this mean? Well, I’ll tell you what it doesn’t mean; it doesn’t mean everything’s honky Dory, I’ll tell you that much for shizzle. Note to self: Lookup “honky Dory”. Did I even use that term correctly? Hopefully it’s only minor, but I have this gut feeling…

  • I’m a pendulum.

    I’m a pendulum. And not in the fun way. Note to self: Find out what the fun way is. I keep going back and forth between okay and not okay, it’s getting really irritating. I can’t deal with things, but I have to. I’m really trying, but I… I just can’t. Being sick all the…

  • It’s over.

    Soooo… I’ve dumped PayPal officially. We’re over. I’ve changed my status and everything. PayPal hasn’t stepped up at all, but now that they’re unable to mess with finances again, I kinda don’t care. It’s more trouble than it’s worth. (Well… yeah, let’s just go with that, Matthew.) There are a few loose ends to tie…

  • Today was the best.

    The past several weeks have been quite difficult for me, but with that difficulty have come some amazing and uplifting moments. Today I got a heaping dose of good energy, positivity, and new connections. I stumbled upon an Instagram account earlier this summer for the Invisible Conditions Conference which was focusing on IBD. Today I…

  • From zero to one hundred.

    I’ve been doing stuff all week, even if it has mostly consisted of calming down and working to relax my mind and body. For the most part, that was effective and I’m feeling much better now. Good thing that’s the case because starting with tonight things are getting a little crazy for me over the…

  • What’s on my mind?

    What’s on my mind? Glad that you asked! Well, I’m not really glad that you asked…I’m more, “eh. I can’t really think of anything else to talk about, so might as well share what’s going through my mind right now.” Although, come to think of it, you didn’t really ask me anything. I posed the…

  • It’s a little frustrating.

    Just a couple of quick things. I had to park my car down the street a ways because the construction crew working in the alley will be blocking access to the driveway during the daytime for the rest of the week. I don’t think I’ll need to use the car, but just in case I…

  • Today was a bad day…

    Today was not a good day. It ended well with Thanksgiving dinner at the nerd cafe though, which is good. But everything before that was horrible. Basically my body and my mind aren’t doing well and it’s negatively affecting my daily life. Today it got really, really bad. Now I’m going to sleep. M3

  • Why I can’t sleep.

    I haven’t been able to get to sleep very easily these past few weeks. [I can’t write tonight. I’ll finish in the morning.]

  • I’m becoming a coffee person!

    I’ve never been one for coffee. I’ve never even wanted to drink coffee, but over the summer that’s changed. I started drinking iced coffee every once in a while. And while I still don’t like straight coffee, the bitter taste of coffee in general has become more palatable in frappes and such. Never did I…

  • Thanksgiving is coming up!

    This weekend is Thanksgiving weekend (in Canada)! I’m going to be here in Vancouver by myself for the holiday, but that’s alrighty with me. And when I say “by myself”, I’m talking about with my immediate family. Everyone else is going to be up in Grande Prairie. While I won’t be seeing family, I will…

  • Oh man… I just napped for over two hours!

    I totally didn’t mean to nap, but I feel great after it! Now I’m gonna grab some food, watch an episode of Community or two, then head to bed. Today’s been a good day! I wasn’t expecting to work at all, but overall things worked out well. September is Over! Can you even believe it?…

  • Is this working?

    The main purpose of this blog is to get me writing every day. That has happened and will continue to happen! However, I feel like the actual content about which I write is lacking. My thought about that probably is influenced by my lack of sleep this week. Anyway… today marked the one-year anniversary of…

  • Best day in a long time!

    Today has been the best day in a long time. Weirdly, I only got three hours of sleep last night, but I still was filled with energy, enthusiasm, and the drive to actually complete tasks. It’s great! M3
