I haven’t punched in for some time so I figured I might as well.

The past 2 months have been difficult but I’ve grown from the pain. The pain has been loneliness, and it’s been nailing me really hard in bed. I’ve been waking up at 3am and just absolutely losing it, having to meditate myself again into a relaxed state enough to sleep. Then waking up at my usual time feeling alone. One night it came on early, I was in the car with my kids, we were on our way home from a fellowship function and I… Continue

SO… I have been on a rollercoaster since Mother’s Day weekend. I’ve been battling depression and went to see a doctor who prescribed me an SSRI anti depressant. This made me feel like I was on acid. I was not okay with the feelings that came with the meds and I stopped taking it right away, however by a few days later I was depressed even more.

Alas, No more morels. But there has been a flurry of animal activity on our pond.

I'm not sure yet what it's all about, how to feel, who to tell. What do I tell them, especially at school. There are regular blood draws she's going to have to have with these meds...

FUCK!!!!

My kids and I went to the farmer’s market in Detroit today (Eastern Market) I do this every Saturday morning. We have breakfast at the same diner and my son always has a grilled cheese and fries, ha! This week we ran into my Aunt and Uncle. They live very close but we don’t have a really good relationship, they have a better one with my sister. Eh, anyway, it was good to see them. One of the stalls I always stop at is a guy who sells organic salad greens and mushrooms, he has all types of mushro… Continue
