Adult Life Stuff

Hello, my loves. I hope you had a lovely weekend.

Mine wasn't too glamorous or exciting. A change of pace from how it usually goes for me.

I was planning to do some hair removal again this past weekend but that got pushed to the side for now. I do plan to revisit that before this upcoming weekend as I'm expecting a certain someone to ask me out at some point (hopefully soon) and I want to be ready. I don't want to jinx myself though so I'll say no more about them or the situation until it actually happens lol.

Anyway, this past weekend, I picked up my daughter from her mother on Saturday. We did some holiday shopping plus picked up some cold medicine for my mom (she's been under the weather for about a week now). In fact, I've finished up my holiday shopping. I didn't spend nearly as much as last year but considering our new big purchase in 2024 was a new computer, table, and chair, that was already a given.

I also had to do some adult stuff around the house. First, I got around to bringing in our standup basketball hoop from the driveway. Not only do we have snow on the ground but a windstorm had knocked the hoop into a ditch. My back wasn't very happy with me after I finished that.

My back's also mad at me from yesterday. I decided to reorganize my bedroom, which is proving to be a major project.

Currently, one wall has a tall bookshelf just for books, a shorter but wider bookshelf for my DVDs, and then my clothes dresser. Well, my bookshelf isn't just full but overflowing now and my DVD shelf is super disorganized.

So, I decided to condense my DVDs into smaller cases that can hold 400 discs each. I bought two such cases and they're already almost full...and I've only gotten through my sports and TV show DVDs. Needless to say, I had to order another one from Amazon. I'm hoping to have that fully organized by the end of the week but we'll see.

Also, during this weekend, we managed to put up our tree, decorated the house, and wrapped presents. 

Overall, a super productive weekend. My daughter Willow was a big help with me being distracted by my other projects and my mom not feeling well. She enjoys helping and decorating, so it worked out.

Still, my back is sore from the weekend. Pain reliever is definitely on the diet for now. What I wouldn't give to have some cute person give me a nice, long backrub with essential oils and lotion to make me feel all better.

Hint, hint...lol

Half the Person I Used to Be

People can have lots of different vices to help when they're stressed. Some drink, some smoke, some even do drugs (I don't judge anyone enjoying a little bit of Mother Earth's great green herb. I mean the harder stuff). My vice was always food. Whenever I was stressed or sad or even just bored, I'd immediately go straight for the kitchen or pantry to find something to eat. Any good feelings from doing so would quickly evaporate whenever I would next step onto the scale. Stress eating became a big habit at one point in my life due to working in a hospital at the time and my continuing issues in my marriage. Even after I left that job and the divorce was finalized, I still used food as a coping mechanism. By the time 2023 rolled around and I was actually ready to do something about it (or so I thought), the scales read 336.5 pounds. I was up to wearing size 5XL shirts that had to be specially ordered because no local stores carried them. I talked to my doctor and they sug...

Voting Day

While it's not one of the "big ones," such as the midterms or the Presidential elections, today is still voting day. You could say that elections like this are even more important since they cover local offices that can affect you everyday. I was born and raised as a Republican because of my parents and their background. However, I became more and more liberal in my thinking once I got to college and beyond. In fact, it became clear to me that my thought process growing up had usually been socially liberal anyway. I officially changed parties to Democrat in 2016. I refused to be associated with Drumpf and the way in which he'd bastardized my idea of the Grand Old Party. I don't have to tell you how upset I was over the results from last year. That orange faced goon won lots of support by actively campaigning against LGBTQ causes, especially the trans community. Not only did his base just lap it up but it felt like Democratic leadership wasn't doing nearly enou...

Thanks Dad

 My dad was born to a hardworking father and stay-at-home mother in a tough neighborhood. Not only my father but all of his siblings served as living PSAs on what NOT to do in life. I had a family member for each issue raised: drinking, smoking, drugs, infidelity, raising children, racism. Everything they did seemed wrong to me. In fact, I could've made this blog entirely about them and would never run out of material. However, for brevity, I'll focus on my father.  He married his highschool sweetheart and had my sister. It wasn't long before that marriage ended on divorce and my father moved away. While my sister will never admit it, I've always believed that she secretly resented him for leaving her. My father eventually met my mother but it would be ten years before they married. One reason was because her family didn't really like him. They were all very straight laced while he was an alcoholic biker (I guess my mom was into bad boys). Another reason was, at one...
