The Placebo Path
As I gather my thoughts upon typing this, I would hope that this makes sense, or somewhat makes some kind of sense… I am still feeling quite unwell from yesterday when I ate the soft serve from the shop. I am not sure if it was the food they had sold or if it was the energy of the place that had made me turn off from ever going back to this shop ever again. I literally came back home in such a rush because I had this feeling that my food was laced with something that had made me have extraordinarily little control of my own body. It was as though I could have soiled my pants and not even know I had done so. I had to pull out a night pad just to wear for on my way home so that I would have something to catch my potential bowl moments which may or may not empty from my insides along my way home.

Pre-Pandemic: Then and Now
ME, PRE-PANDEMIC: I’d like to see if I could write a post (about a memory or subject - memes and stuff wouldn’t count) every day for a year. The writing would actually be the easy part. I mean, I doubt I could come up with enough to write about. I’d run out of things to say after a couple of months!

apples and oranges
You really have no idea how you’re going to react until it actually happens to you. I mean, you can think about it as much as you like. You can stay up nights, chain-smoking and drinking strong-as-fuck tea, and think it over and over and freak out on the inside and even cry a little until you are thoroughly convinced that you know exactly how you would feel if it happened to you, because you have “basically just put yourself there,” but I’m telling you now, all of that will not give you a fucking clue.

Working from home a piece of cake?
I have been working from home since the end of March 2020 it has been seven months which is crazy right? My day starts at 7:55 am each morning. I like to sleep until the very last minute. Honestly I have slept in twice since being at home. I just hit snooze on the alarm like ten times my alarm's drive my husband insane. To be honest I don't brush my teeth or wash my face I just roll out of bed and keep my pajamas on all day because why not? It is crazy to think I was an office professional when I was going into the office. I miss the people, the conversations by the water cooler or for my office the Keurig machine.

The Wake Up Call
Nothing is worst than one if your children not feeling well. When you’re in a couple of some sorts there are steps you can take to make sure one of you is home with the sick child, or one wakes up and sits with them when they are up most of the night while the other can get rest. But when you’re a single parent there is no one to tag. I’ve probably mentioned before that I am a big Wrestling fan, so please excuse the metaphor. But when you’re single, it’s like you’ve been getting doubled teamed, and there is no one to tag. You can’t win.

Coronavirus Stress Relief
It is hard to think "coronavirus" and not feel stress. Some of us are worried about catching it, some are worried about money, their jobs, or how they can financially recover, many have lost loved ones, and too many are stuck at home with an abuser. It is a hotpot of stress, and I hope this will help.
