Epidemic proportions

Originally posted 2017-08-06 21:29:30. If you have read my blogs in the past you are familiar with the cause of death of my brother. This hits home.  My brother wasn’t actively using heroin as far as we know.  I do know he was using the prescription medication, methadone.  I wish things would have been different but I guess the good thing is something is being done to help, or at the very least trying to…

This is so true!

Originally posted 2021-10-18 10:00:43. You know this is so true! I have had to swallow this quite a few times. From the rape charges not going anywhere, to the domestic violence protection orders expecting them to actually protect you…. I have wondered way too many times why that “justice” never came. I guess I’ll never really know. It’s one of those things that stays in the back of my mind but I have learned to…

How long was he in there?

Originally posted 2017-07-31 19:01:16. This is our “week”. Dusty is with my parents and well…it is suppose to be relaxing. The start is anything but… Yesterday my husband and I were doing yard work. He started fixing the gate to our fence. One of the posts had split and he needed to put up a new one. Well, we’ve had the normal summertime flying insects. You know bees, wasps, the occasional “What the hell is…

DCR Scheduled

Originally posted 2021-10-16 07:53:04. Welp… It’s scheduled. I finally found an oculoplastic surgeon. His practice is about an hour away, so not that bad of a drive at all. He needed to test and see if my tear duct was blocked and if so, how bad. He did attempt to flush (or try to) my tear duct to see how bad it was blocked. He pushed the fluid filled syringe through my tear duct while…

Purging

Originally posted 2019-03-06 13:24:35. I am at a point in my life where I feel the need to purge belongings. We have a decent sized dvd collection and myself nor my husband want to just toss them. I have been researching ways to convert the dvd to a digital copy so we can access it per say on a thumb drive. We found two ways of doing this, so far. WinX DVD Ripper Platinum –…

I’m so tired of being tired

Originally posted 2021-10-12 07:37:20. My arm, shoulder, and shoulder blade area is beyond killing me. For over a week now it has been constantly spasmming (is this even a word? I don’t know at this point and don’t care). It makes it so hard to sleep. I normally am a side sleeper because of my sciatica and the pain of it affecting my sleep. So I have to sleep on my right side. Well this…

Cravings

Originally posted 2023-08-13 09:11:32. The song Black and Blue has been stuck in my head the past few days. I awoke this morning to it in my head, so I had to put my headphones on and play it.Sometimes complete albums or just the individual songs get stuck in my head. I crave it the cravings of a pregnant woman at two in the morning. I will listen to the songs or albums repeatedly until…
