I watched For the Love of Music: The Story of Nashville on my ABC app the other day. It had me tearing up. This is the nearest “city” to where I grew up. I mean when my grandfather was in the VA hospital my 7th grade year, we were up there practically every Sunday. It’s…

Daily Journal: Isolation and depression
One of the major feelings of depressions is isolation. This makes things worse for me. I am isolated. I am 1150 miles from home. I am 1160 miles from my best friends. It would take me 20 hours of driving time to get there. That’s 0 stops and praying traffic is decent in the cities….
Alt Appreciation #DeathKnightWeek because I missed the earlier weeks
I missed Alt Appreciation when it was early enough for Death Knight week. So with NaBloPoMo I’m going to resurrect the ones I missed in order to give me material. So first up I’d like to present…. The Death Knights. First off is Badbook… Or as her guild note says, “Non NYT bestseller” <3 Eledryn…
Daily Journal: The worst 20 minutes of your life

Daily Journal: Today’s steps with depression
I forgot about the combination of the WordPress app and the Siri on my iPhone. This may be easier to keep up with NaBloPoMo than I originally thought. I should’ve realized the depression was back because I hurt all over. My back and knees has been very painful lately. Even my shoulders and wrists are…
Daily Journal: My backwards life
So what am I doing today. I worked… There’s 12.5 hours (without counting travel time) gone right there. I’m 12 hours flipped from a “normal life”. My day starts at 3:00 PM when the alarm goes off…. I NEVER get up when my alarm goes off. My alarm is an abused thing. The snooze get…
Daily Journal: NaBloPoMo vs NaNoWriMo, aka you may be seeing more cat photos
I’ve tried NaNoWriMo last year. I only get about 1 or 2 days into it before it falls apart completely. So I’m going to try NaBloPoMo this year instead. What is NaNoWriMo? National Novel Writing Month. I so suck at writing fiction. Even when I was trying just to write a daily short story. NaBloPoMo…
