So, I went to the eye doctor today. To discuss weight loss strategies. Apparently. And birth control. And then maybe even get my eyes checked. “So, you’re on Depo. Don’t you hate the weight gain?” ...well, yeah... “Apple cider vinegar and carcinoma-Cambodia. That will stop it. You can eat anything you want.” Ok... “Don’t ever … Continue reading Vision and Weight Loss

Awkward Neighborhood Runs
They’re both gorgeous! This observation shouldn’t have garnered an odd look. And a hesitant “yes they are...” But I’m losing my social cues. Because 2020. So when I said, “They’re both gorgeous.” I nodded back down the road. At his wife. And the dog she was walking. Instead of also at the dog he was … Continue reading Awkward Neighborhood Runs

Introvert Restoration
I just spent the 30 minute drive home. Screaming obscenities. Into the ether. It’s my mother’s fault. I was supposed to run the TWOT yesterday. Mostly because I like saying it. I’ve had a lot of those “I was supposed to run...” days lately. This pandemic. I went into it strong. I was averaging 60-70 … Continue reading Introvert Restoration
Our Christmas Companion
She wasn’t there to greet me when I pulled into the driveway. I mean, I knew she wouldn’t be. But that didn’t make it any easier. Instead, it was GJB that met me at my car. “Come on. Let’s go visit the grave site.” If you’ve ever visited GJB’s and Lil T’s house. You know … Continue reading Our Christmas Companion
Chiro Update
Chiro Doc Sub (assuming she was communicating with a reasonable human with solid self-preservation instincts): “So any pain? Have you tried running yet?” Me (assuming she didn’t need to be bothered with complaints of pain): Nope. My hips are just a little sore. But I’ve been icing them. I was gonna ask if I could … Continue reading Chiro Update

ASL Out Loud
Ho-Ly-Fuck, y’all. This is the year I become an alcoholic. There’s just no way around it. It is the only possible solution. For survival. My people are the only reason I’m even kind of managing 2020 as it is. But they’re falling apart, too. So... Every morning at work now starts with Resistant Facebook Friend … Continue reading ASL Out Loud
Pants Pocket Privileges
“It’s ok. I don’t measure the same as the young girls either.” Ummm...? Apparently I just put all my business out there for y’all. Or at least some of y’all are eerily good at guessing my business. To an uncomfortably exact degree. So I’ll just explain. I went for my depo injection today. And as … Continue reading Pants Pocket Privileges
Late to the DeFo Special Party
I just fell. In the bathroom. I went to go pee. And as I sat down. I wasn't aimed quite right. At the toilet. Because I hadn't finished my coffee yet. So, I couldn't really process information. So, I ended up kind of wedged. In between the toilet and the sink. It's fine. Because it … Continue reading Late to the DeFo Special Party
