Happy Hour Fridays: I'm exhausted.

The name “Happy Hour Fridays” is starting to get morbidly ironic now. It’s almost ridiculous. Alright, let’s get a rundown of this week. Another big realization Because it seems like I can’t go a day without having one. My big thing, my big trigger, is shame. I mean, I kind of knew that, part of [...]

I'm dropping the shoulds

That’s right. For the next month, I am giving myself total permission to drop every single should I have. And permission to do exactly as I please, day in and day out, until the first of March. I am hereby dropping the following shoulds: – That I “should” be marketing -That I “should” be writing [...]

It's time for a facelift. Or maybe a "Life Lift"

I’ve got two completely unassociated topics floating around my head today. Not sure if I can link them up, but they’re both clamoring to be written about, so I guess today you’re going to get a schizophrenic post. First up: my website I’ve redesigned my website so many times, it’s actually a running joke with [...]

I'm walking on sunshine, whooaaaooo

Today, I am delightfully happy. In fact, more than delightfully happy, and more importantly, I am hopeful. Yesterday, I admit, I was absolutely miserable. Somehow I wrote a happy post anyways, but my allergies were awful and I’d had a less than happy conversation with someone close to me. But today – oh today, I [...]

One of those delicious days

Yesterday was one of those delicious days. Jesse has lent me his laptop for the week so that while my sister is home for exams and my dad is off work, I can still work on the computer, without having to do battle for our one PC. Oh my gosh, this whole laptop thing is [...]

A Letter From My Fear

Dear Self, We haven’t spoken in a while. I don’t know if we’ve ever spoken in fact. Let me introduce myself. I am your fear. We need to talk. I need some things from you – I need you to hear me, to see me, to listen to me. I am so afraid. I am [...]

Happy Hour Fridays: This is me, baring my soul.

I’m not going to have a list of awesome things today. I had a huge, gigantic, crazy-but-probably-totally-obvious-to-anyone-who-knows-me revelation about myself this morning, and I kind of need to talk about it right now, because I’m still trying to make sense of it. I give myself away. I spoke the other day about how I often [...]

The Timid Wanderings of an Artist Mouse

So I’m blogging earlier than usual this morning. In a couple hours, I’m off to brave the cold and start going door to door at downtown businesses, in the hopes that some of them will buy ad space for the play. As I was journaling about it this morning, I wrote that I’d like to [...]

Drifting, patterns, and biggification fears.

So as I began to write this post, the power went out. At first, I was annoyed. Like come on, Hydro One, I need to get work done! I spent the first 5 minutes freaking out. I was supposed to be printing out packages to go downtown and hand out to various businesses to raise [...]

Sooner or later.

So today, I’m calling disability support, to make an appointment. This really feels like giving up to me. I vowed that I would become independent and support myself goddammit, and this seriously feels like I’m waving a white flag. I know it’s not like that. I know some people are so glad to get disability, [...]
