I put off doing this post for a long time. I was afraid that I married Marc for the wrong reasons. Afraid that I settled in order to avoid being alone. I have since discovered two things: The man I married and the man I divorced are two different people. I settled when I didn’t move […]

January 27, 2016 By 9 AM on Wednesday, January 27th we were divorced. An agreement had finally been reached. M. tried his damnedest to profit from our divorce. I’d have to say he accomplished that one feat and only because I didn’t want this to drag out any longer. He should have moved out in […]
Part of the problem with living with a mentally ill person is you can’t really understand what they are going through. It mostly doesn’t make sense and seems ridiculous. For example, we went to a restaurant. He told me (back when he was actually sharing with me) he felt everyone was looking at him and […]
I’m OK and getting better. Life is looking up. While things are still progressing slowly with my divorce, it’s all moving forward and so am I. I recently added a bunch of 80’s hard rock and metal to my playlist plus Kenny Loggins, 3 Doors Down and some Billy Joel. I’m eclectic when it comes to […]
So this is my song for the week. “No no turning back now I wanna be pushed aside so let me go No no turning back now Let me take back my life I’d rather be all alone No turning back now Anywhere on my own cause I can see No no turning back now […]

It’s been a while since I last blogged. I figured I can update on my gardening at least. With work and school I have no time for sewing. This saddens me greatly, but I have a goal to reach! This year started with fewer weeds and some new weeds. I haven’t had much time to […]
I have recently learned that the former owner’s husband of this house is a member and owner of a local landscaping/greenhouse company. This would likely explain all the nice landscaping that has already been done for me. Now, I am not very good at gardening. I’m very forgetful and neglectful and things just die on me. It’s […]
The story goes like this: My uncle (my father’s only brother) died in a drunk driving incident 2 days after my 13th birthday. (Don’t get me started on drunk driving) He had a peace lily (not quite this one) that my Aunt Dianne took, kept, killed a few times but always brought back. My cousin […]
