    Haters Gonna Hate

    July 26, 2020 / No Comments

    I knew this day would come, it is official. The woman I thought of as a friend at work is jealous to the point that she has begun to distance herself from me. It was inevitable. All interpersonal relationships with women of my acquaintance eventually end.

    I Will Not Dumb Myself Down

    July 22, 2020 / No Comments

    Every now and then I am reminded of why I don’t get along with my mother. It’s because she thinks and treats me like I am stupid. My whole life, it has been a contest of mental will with my mother. And she isn’t happy unless she is making me feel like I am just the dumbest person on the planet. This was all triggered by a chapter in a book I was reading where the character got into an argument with his mother because she was treating him as though he did not know his own mind. Sounds very familiar.

    Deja Vu Drama – Double Down on Your Disappointment

    July 21, 2020 / No Comments

    I am having deja vu. The last week or so, my friend Jem, who is also a work colleague, has been acting distant and dismissive at work. I thought it was me, and that I was perhaps having a hypercritical moment, but time passed and it has not gotten better. Something similar has happened before and ain’t nobody got time to go through that again…

    Ennui Creeps In – Every Day is Exactly the Same

    July 19, 2020 / No Comments

    Every day I drive to work, do my job, then drive home. Wash, rinse, and repeat. Every day feels exactly the same. It is not an unhappy situation, and I am not even sure if I should fight the wave of creeping ennui. But I worry that I am going to snap.

    Party of One – Swiping Left on a Social Life

    July 14, 2020 / No Comments

    If my life was a Romantic Comedy, when my friend said to me that I needed to get out there and she was going to help me do it, there would have been a montage showing the creation of a dating profile and possibly a makeover. However, my life is not a RomCom, so none of that happened.

I blog about the random ass shit going on in my life. I'm a single mom, a Navy veteran, avid reader, and coping with life post-divorce. I have two sons and five cats, so clearly, I'm a catch. I pull no punches and use salty language. Read at your own risk.
