    Betty, my life's experiences have told me that many of the stories in the Bible are not literal, they are metaphorical and allegorical. I think...

As I sit here, towards the end of a busy, full day of cover at my local secondary school, wondering how long the Epi Pen training will take and if my son will make a big fuss about his guitar practice tonight, I realise that things have found their way back to a kind of normality. I have missed...

Things have apparently been going too well. My blissful transition from anxiety-wracked nerdy under-achiever to contented, thankful, hopeful individual has been rudely sidetracked by something known as Chronic Migraine. This insidious and little understood condition is extremely distressing...

"Gritches has Lots of Mommies" Sounds like a children's book about polygamy. But srsly, let me begin by making clear that I am not complaining. At all. In fact, I've been meaning to write this for a while but I couldn't figure out how to do so without it sounding like I'm bragging, not that...

Well going to a funeral today so not to many photos will be taken from what I know its not appropriate to take a camera to a funeral but to a wedding many cameras are allowed. From what my parents where talking about last night it seems there are a lot of social rules when it comes to funerals...

Well we all slept pretty terribly apart from my sister who got a whole double bed to herself not to mention the new years partiers who woke me up in 2018 ugh. It’s raining a lot which is a good thing apart from the fact we are in a campervan (glad we don’t have our shrinking tent) and mum forgot...

Last night on the roof terrace of the hotel my kids and I found a giant moth, and we carefully picked it up and played with it. After a couple of minutes, I tried to put it back down, but it refused, so I took it to the room to show my wife and the baby. The baby was terrified. Today, my girl...

Being normal. It is what many of us strive to do. Fit in, don't stand out like a sore thumb, don't deviate from the expected norms, the attention received otherwise is to much to bear. Of course, this has been my way of doing things as well. There are a few problems with it though. First, a...

As topics, "sex" and "nazis" are cheap easy targets.. I have seen that the first few generators people make tend to be sensationalized topics once they get the idea of how to use the format. They test out most of the dirty words they know. Sometimes there is cursing; generally vulgarity of a...

Nobody really talks about Chamomile for anxiety; usually, if the herb is discussed, it's in the context of being a sleep aid and almost exclusively about Chamomile tea. However, Chamomile is available in capsule form, and that got me wondering how effective it would be for daytime anxiety. I...

I hit a low in a rough patch. When I seriously started to consider suicide, I realized that this was absolutely stupid. As much as I love to brag about 'my acceptance of death' I am scared of the **** still. I stall at the end, waiting for something to happen that will finally get me to do it. I...

Though I am understanding the ins and outs of my work, it's a LOT to keep track of, especially for me. A lot of it may seem common sense to others, but it's a lot of details and noticing surroundings, and in the moment. I think I need to prep myself before visiting each client by journaling...

So Rian Johnson finally did it. He took my favorite sci-fi franchise and destroyed it with killing Luke. That is very depressing to me. I had been a Star Wars fan since I saw A New Hope in 1977. Now thanks to Rian killing Luke I now love Avatar more. I am not looking forward to seeing The Last...

It's been a few weeks since I officially received my medical license and swore the Hippocratic oath. At our graduation ceremony, we were each asked to prepare a short speech detailing something about our time as a med student that stood out for us personally. I don't do well with preparing...

So, I'm thinking I am aspie. But I wonder if connecting, or relationships, can be a "thing" for an aspie girl. I am extroverted, too, since I have more energy when I've been around people. Communicating was very hard for me throughout my childhood. I could speak, but often came across as rude...

A possible new focus....one I don't want to forget while overwhelmed. It seems throughout life, whatever I tried, however I tried...I just have always had a much harder time than others in being socially accepted and liked. It has gotten better, for sure - but it's always stinging to...
