About three weeks ago a senior scientist at my company gave a talk on Ebola. This man has had personal experience with the disease, having been at Reston, Virginia when an outbreak occurred among laboratory monkeys back in the 1990's. Unlike the current strain/strains of Ebola, this one was...

The other night I came home from work and found my rent statement on my door, When I read it I just about had a heart attack. They had way overcharged me on electric! So I went to my neighbors and found that they had been overcharged even more, over a full month's rent. And what they are...

By now, anyone who is not living under a rock has probably heard about Michael Brown and Ferguson, Missouri. But how many people have heard of Michael Day? Michael Day was a 13-year-old African American middle school student living in the Edison neighborhood of Kalamazoo, Michigan, who was...

My church is trying to get people to sign up for an introductory anti-racism training seminar. The full seminar is 2 1/2 days and costs $500. The introductory is only a half-day and costs $100. They are also trying to get grants to cover the cost of the introductory. Both seminars are run by...

Yesterday I wrote about the necessity of having thick skin if you are creating something of yourself for the public. I'd like to share an actual rejection letter that I received. I don't have the letter but the words are seared into my heart. To give a little background, I had spent at least...

Mom isn't feeling well today and so I am cleaning the house for her. Dad is taking care of sister's diabetes checks today which makes me nervous; he knows how to do it but usually mom does it. I haven't known him to mess up with a ratio in a long time but nonetheless it makes me anxious. But mom...

I see that I have made another person upset with my frank talk about writing. That is her prerogative. However, I have to ask, what would this person's reaction be if she were to get a rejection letter, as I did, suggesting very strongly that the writer sounded emotionally unstable and needed...

Today bubba, the almost two year old i babysit, was sick so that pretty much totally reset me for the day. As much as that kid can really rattle my nerves sometimes, I love him and it brings out the protective mothering side of me seeing him so miserable. I get a much needed day off tomorrow...
Lately I have been working with several of my neighbors regarding conditions in the trailer park and in doing so am getting a crash course in trailer park activism. The first thing I have learned is that trailer parks exist in a sort of legal limbo. Much of the resources available to other...
I feel like I found a group of people I can relate to. I used to feel like I was the only person with this disorder, and I felt that the world was against me, but not anymore.

All the supervisors save one are the strict, serious type that i can't read at all. Even if i get complimented four times in one weekend by customers even one mistake in front of them makes me feel like i'm back to square one. Bubba, the almost two year old i babysit, his parents want to put him...

Imagine having moods that change every 2-4 hrs so 4-6 times daily. The moods create heavenly ecstasy, severe to moderate depression,anxiety,severe tiredness,deep brain fog,irritability and so much more in any imaginable combination. Days off make it much easier since you can let it flow without...

Having someone telling me publishing odds is not why I write blog posts and only infuriates me even more. I know that there are a lot of things that are brutal about this world today. I don't even give a damned if I SELL my book, I might just make it visible to the public right where it sits on...
The other day I had a conversation with an artist from my church that has left me in doubt as to whether I should continue my art--or whether I am heading down a road to heartbreak. But then, again, SHE may be heading down the road to heartbreak as well. She was selling calendars featuring...

I had an intake appointment for my anxiety this morning. It was pretty disappointing. I brought up the possibility of having Asperger's and she didn't seem to know what it was. She told me that I'd probably have to go see my regular medical doctor to get screened for it. I must have looked...

I was really happy and optimistic out of the blue this morning for a few hours yet all of a sudden, just cause of one episode of criminal minds and a few renditions of "Had Enough" by Breaking Benjamin, i'mat the total other extreme. Sleepy, irritable, extremely self-analytical. The 'nothing is...

I had a meltdown last night. I haven't had one for years. I think it might have been a combination of the stress from Monday, the anticipated anxiety of today, and my 4-year-old screaming for lemonade for the last 20 minutes straight even though he had milk and water and we were riding in the...

I took some of those online Aspie tests. They were interesting, but I had some issues with some of the questions. I know I was over-thinking it, but some of them weren't specific enough, or were too specific, or had multiple behaviors in one question, but I only do one of them and not the...
