Well, but…

I’m struggling. I’m struggling and I can’t even really explain why or what that means. I think it’s partially because my I’ve been missing my financial goals lately. Not drastically but enough to have to make adjustments I would rather not have made. I’ve been undisciplined. Also, like I mentioned […]

Yet another contributing factor to my mini-breakdown in mid-March is my concern over not being able to retire or not having enough money to retire on. A year or a year and a half ago a friend sent my an innocent link to pole barn homes in Texas. For some […]

Running parallel with my previous post and contributing to my mini-break is my penchant for self-deprecating humor. At least it started as humor. It’s only recently that I’ve realized that my self-deprecation has devolved into pure negativity. When you start believing your own put-downs it’s time to reconsider the jokes […]

I’m going to piggyback this post on the one I wrote a while back about social media not just affecting girls or young people negatively but everybody. I gave up on Twitter in January or February of 2020. I rarely used it an was mostly disgusted by what I saw […]

There is plenty to rant about and I may do so in the near future but right now it’s incumbent upon me to give some thanks. I work on my budget daily. As a result I just realized that if I accept the opportunity presented to me I could be […]

Imperfections are magnified when everyone around you seems to have a perfect body or a perfect complexion or an affluent lifestyle. I’ve noticed that social media usage affects me as well, though not […]

I know it’s been a while but as I stated above, I have an excuse. In my last post all the way back in June I wrote about anger and being angry. I made a decision back then that I would step away until I got a handle on that […]

Is anger a persistent state as a person ages? Does a person just become angry and remain so as he or she gets older? There are so many things that just set me off. Stupid, little, inconsequential things. Things like: I’ve logged into this account a dozen times with the […]

I’ve got a subbing assignment for the next week and a half for mostly 8th grade math. Their attention is on anything but math. Their attitude ranges anywhere between apathy and rebellion. I struggle with this because there is still plenty of work that needs to be done and I’ve […]

I’m not sure what it is these days but there is a common thread that runs through most of my waking moments – ANGER. Everything seems to piss me off these days. People, circumstances, my job, politics. I touched on this recently but didn’t really post about it. I’m not […]
