Blue Lives Matter
Okay. I don’t know how you’re going to react to this blog, since you know me so well. This might seem out of character. Let’s give it a go. I read this article the other day. It is yet another story of police brutality against a black citizen. You know how I feel about this. …
Lunch
I did it – I went to spend time with my ex, last weekend. I was terribly nervous, yet so very excited. What would he be like? What would we be like? I mean – it wasn’t the first time we’d spent time together since last March, but it was different this time. The last …
Richard Freakin’ Marx!!!
Okay, not to age myself or anything, but I LOVE music from the 80s. Richard Marx was (and still is) an amazing musician. The last time he came through town, I was told it was the last time. I wasn’t able to go, and a part of me mourned the fact that I would never …
Being Heard
You know those women who go back to their abusers, waving the flag of, “But he’s changed!”? All of a sudden, I am among their ranks. It’s a scary place to be. Most women who leave their abusers go back time and time again, believing that this time will be different. This time, he’s different. …
Afraid of Family
You know that my ex and I are talking, but my family doesn’t. I’m writing this more than two weeks before it will be posted. As of right now, they don’t know. Honestly, I’m afraid of telling them. I’m afraid of how they’ll react. I have a fairly good guess as to how my mother …
Talking Again
So my ex and I have been talking on the phone. Actually, we’ve been talking on the phone a lot. We chat during my drive to work (which can be lengthy, if traffic is bad) and on my way home, as well as during my lunch break. It’s a super bizarre feeling! It’s like we’ve …
Post #MeToo Movement
**Just so you know, this is my 1,000th post on this site. I found that interesting.** I recently read an article which saddened me in the beginning, but gave me hope further in. In it, Henry Cavill says that he’s afraid to date since the #MeToo movement because he doesn’t want to be called a …
Getting Over It
I saw video yesterday which I thought was totally cute. I would encourage you to watch the whole video before reading my blog. It would make a lot more sense that way. When I was a kid, I thought that dogs were the enemies of cats – that dogs instigated trouble between the two species. …
Dinner
Okay, so here’s the blog I promised you. I went to dinner with my ex. We went to a casino that we had wanted to go to before, but never managed. When I asked him why we had never tried it, his answer was simple: It was a hard year. That’s so true. Our last …
No Regrets
Okay. So… I’ve been honest with you, but I haven’t told you everything. I haven’t spelled everything out for you. Please don’t be mad at me. I’m hoping that my decision won’t disappoint you, but I have no regrets. Back in March, when I landed in the shelter, I had called for some help. As a …
