I worked today and it was tiring. I worked Friday and Saturday had Sunday off (but spent it running around like a crazy person getting things sorted out for the trip).
Today at work was just nuts. My barcode scanner wasn’t working properly, we had a near constant line of people because it was the first [...]

We’re at that portion of trip prep where everything is devolving into chaos. We don’t have suitcases, we can’t find the travel bags, can’t find the car charger, family members are sick, all those extra expenses.
Yesterday things seemed fairly set. I talked to the airline they said that we wouldn’t have to pay if the [...]

We’re getting ready for a big trip in the next few days. The first big vacation we’ve taken ever, to be honest. I have a list of things for hubbie and I to do that is a mile long, including finding car chargers for the cell phones (which I know we have they’ve just vanished) [...]

Yesterday I encountered one of my abusers.
My ex-step-father came into the store I work at to get gas. I was making coffee when he came in and I heard the chime of the door and automatically started to say, “I’ll be right there,” and then I saw who it was and hesitated a bit on, [...]

A couple of weeks ago I stumbled across a twitter post that said Kat was holding a contest for people to win a product called “Smelly Washer” and I entered. I was excited by the prospect of potentially being able to get a product that would help us counteract the residual urgh that’s in our [...]

I realized the other day that I’m at the lowest weight that I’ve been in almost three years. My lowest weight ever was 146 but given that’s when I was fourteen I don’t really count it. You could see my ribs, I looked very unhealthy. When I got married in 2005 I was 186, that [...]

The Joy Infection prompt for this week is: “Something small which has brought you joy”
For me this would have to be any number of things the munchkin does that are spontaneous showing of affection. The other day he climbed up in my lap and said, “Mummy, I love you,” and snuggled down on my chest. [...]

It’s been a while since we’ve watched any anime in our house. I have several that I want to finish watching like Sayuki, but I prefer to watch with the subtitles on and the original Japanese language but while trying to keep an eye on a three year old it’s difficult to keep up with [...]

It’s no secret that our household is suffering from financial issues. I came to the conclusion last night that I need to bite the bullet and try to negotiate with some of our credit cards to reduce the amount we have to pay without completely ruining our credit.
We’re at the point that if Kore moves [...]

From what I understand I’ve written a couple of times about my friend’s comic: Akashik because it is a very good comic.
She’s in straits right now, and asking for donations so that they can keep going. If everyone who visits donated a $1 they would be home free in a variety of ways.
Please help support [...]
