Title? Think I forgot it too…

Originally posted 2016-08-03 20:48:44. Through my years I have gone through things, done things, put myself in situations I shouldn’t have, gone places I shouldn’t have, yet some things I wish I could speak on. There are some things I honestly want to talk about but I can’t. I am pretty sure there are some of you reading that know what I mean. You know there are some things you don’t think you could ever…

Veteran Unemployment, It’s not just applications and interviews

Originally posted 2016-06-29 19:07:38. Veteran Unemployment, It’s not just applications and interviews Don’t get me wrong, being unemployed sucks no matter if you are a veteran or not but veterans being unemployed comes with a different set of playing cards. They possess a different set of skills that aren’t understood by those in the private sector unless they’ve been there themselves or related in someway. They earned skills not easily attainable, skills no private sector job…

Simplicity is overrated, isnt it?

Originally posted 2016-01-08 22:58:17. It’s now 2016. Who would have ever thought we’d see these days come and not be in flying cars like the Jetson’s cartoons. It seemed so doable back them and to now look back on just how far we haven’t come, it makes one wonder just what our future really holds. Time went so fast in the last month of 2015. December came and went in a flash. Maybe it is…

Ever been so tired you just can’t sleep?

Originally posted 2015-10-14 17:51:15. I don’t give up easily but here lately I’m testing those waters. I’m not really a drinker per say, even though I am of Irish descent. I wonder what happened to that part of me, who fights a good fight til the end like an Irishman, so stubborn. But between having to keep one eye and ear on Dusty while doing the same over James I’ve almost seemed to lose site…

Alcoholics

Why do alcoholics try to gaslight those around them? Why can’t they admit they have an issue? Why do they have to have a near death experience before they see anything remotely close to seeing they have a problem? When those who love them are seeing all they are doing and they could give 2 shits. They just care about that fucking bottle! WHY?!!!!!!! Someone please! I need to understand. I have watched my biological…

The Ear

Originally posted 2020-12-11 09:36:48. There are things some just don’t speak of.I am my husband’s ear and sometimes that is painful not to mention stressful. He purchased a truck almost 2 years ago and we have yet to get the truck due to something beyond our control. I’m trying my hardest to get this taken care of but with covid and other things we have had a hard time getting anything done. Yesterday I was…

Originally posted 2015-01-07 00:57:18. Well its now 2015, Yay! What that means, who knows. Will it be a good year for us and so many more, one could hope so. To start off the new year a very close family friend’s husband of 28 years passed away. He had been suffering from ALS. He passed on January 2, 2015. His wife is such an overwhelmingly loving person who we were honored to connect with back…

The plot thickens

Originally posted 2014-12-12 21:36:07. Today I have really been on the edge and just really anxious. Why really not sure why. Been trying to handle all the above with seemingly none of the below. From the VA to the SSA it’s all been a fight to the finish line. Not to mention the insurance premium program that I applied to months upon months ago. Until recently I had seemed to just be talking to the…
