So we’re sitting in the family room, me, Navy Guy, and College Ninja or, as I like to say, ACIMH [Edited T0 Add: Navy Guy says I have to tell you that ACIMH means Actual Conversation In My House, but I said you know that, but he’s making me do it]: College Ninja: Mom, can…
Read MoreOn one writer and depression, aka life in the black pit of hell
I’ve had so many hundreds of people talk to me about their depression and what they’re suffering, and how they’re afraid to go public with it, that I thought it was time to republish my “coming out” blog when I told the world that I suffer from depression. It was scary as hell to do,…
Read MoreFriday Mental Health Check In – on Naysayers
Friday Mental Health Check In: (and please share this post with everyone; it’s so important!) Today I want to talk about the issue of naysayers. Mental health deniers.

You may have seen that I just learned to swim 2 weeks ago, after 40 years of being terrified of water. (dad/lake/near drowning). I was moving right along, swimming more and more laps, until today. Today, swimming alone, I inhaled some water & was right back there. Three or four years old and drowning, almost…
Read MoreIt’s the little things…college orientation & robo-laundry
Had college orientation with Princess last week, and it’s always the little things that get me.

Every woman in the…

Read MoreOUTSIDE OF NORMAL, BUT BRAVE AF!
Okay, in spite of a crippling fear of water, thanks to my Dad’s throwing me in a lake to ‘teach me how to swim’ when I was a kid (I did not learn; I did not float; I kept plummeting to the bottom…), I’m finally FINALLY going to learn to swim. Because it’s my year…
Read MoreFriday Mental Health Check In:
Friday Mental Health Check In: How is everyone this week? I realized I have the “My baby is going to college” blues, but then College Ninja decided to live at home and commute to his college classes this year, so I won’t be totally an empty nester. Yay! I’m also avoiding the doctor, because I…
Read MoreUnappreciated — ACIMH
So I’m learning to cook, in the Better Late than Never category. Tonight I made my first-ever roast chicken, and the Actual Conversation In My House went something like this; Me: I made my first-ever roasted chicken**! Isn’t it beautiful?? Navy Guy: You roasted it upside down. Me: But at least it’s roasted. And beautiful!…
