Impulsivity

Until two days ago, I didn't even know this was a real word, much less that I was experiencing it daily. Impulsivity is how they describe the symptom of struggling with impulse control. It's almost a disconnect between the part of the brain that tells you to do something and the part of the brain …

Community

I live in a community. That's an actual thing, not just a state of mind. Actually, it's both, but let's not argue. I grew up in a decent sized town in Tennessee. It's more of a city now, but when I was there it wasn't quite as large. I never understood community outside of my …

Sweet Freedom

Our family has lived through a weird five years. Some of it I've shared with you and some I'm still working up to sharing. All of this means every year by August, I am out of sick days and halfway through my vacation days. And I never, ever roll anything into the new year. I …

This Day, Take 2

Today was not my day. No amount of Spearmint and Stress Away could save this day. It's Monday, so that speaks for itself. I got to work and my phone and computer wouldn't connect to the internet and therefore the system. No one else was having an issue. Imagine that. Both run off the internet, …

This day, y’all

Some days are better than others, know what I mean? It's not that today was a bad day, per se, it's just blah. I don't want to be where I am all day doing what I'm doing... today at least. Most days I really like my job. I used to love it, but "like" is …

Gloom, Despair & Agony on Me

Anybody remember Hee Haw?  Yeah, well, it was a few decades ago.  And maybe it was only in Tennessee.  Well anyway, I was not very old, but I remember watching it at my grandma's house.  If you ever saw the show, you recognize the title to this post.  This is a song that pops in …
