I'm here from Twitter. I enjoyed what I'd created on Twitter, but I can't be there anymore. I tend to post about my struggles w/ depression, attempts to be positive, animals, art, books and politics.

My water bill is high and usage is up; I might have a leak. My bunny has fleas. My mom's cat is old and ill. And, I'm a democrat living in America. At least two of my favorite shows are on #PBS tonight #MissScarlet #AllCreaturesGreatAndSmall & I have ice cream. 🍨

I exploded in my long-time therapists office about an hour ago. I yelled. I stood. I yelled. (The office staff was about to enter... we laughed about it after.) I released the pressure that builds inside me... the disgust, anger, disbelief, disgust...

I haven't been posting much because I was sick with the ick for three weeks. I'm well now.
Today's Glimmer ✨ I bought my bunny a present with a Christmas gift card. It's an enrichment toy, and he seems to enjoy it. 🐰🥰

Today's Glimmers ✨ I saw Rudolph at Walmart. And, my online orders are coming in on time. And, I found makeup foundation & blush replacements in my colors (I was completely out). And, even though I've been dealing w/ depression, I'm managing fairly okay this holiday season.

I'm not sure which stresses me out more... shopping in person and having to deal with people or shopping online and having to check, re-check and re-check my checking to make sure I found the exactly correct item for which I was looking?!?! 🎄🎁🎄🎁🎄🎁

My mom just did something that is making me want to rip the hair from my head! And, in the process, thought nothing about me... at all. Strangers are more important than her daughter who is constantly doing for her.

Note to therapists... sometimes your patients do know what they're talking about. Sometimes they are right and you are wrong.

I want to go back to the early/mid 1980s please! (I was born in 1975.) I want my storybook records, Annie, Saturday morning cartoons, roller skating, Little House on the Prairie, Sunday comics & silly putty, Santa Claus, baby dolls, the tire swing & monkey bars. I don't want to be grown up anymore!

Today's Glimmer ✨ We went to mom's transplant doctor appointment for her annual checkup. Her doc was able to see the results of mom's recent CT scan relating to breast cancer. The scans were clear. So, we promised to act surprised and elated when the oncologist tells us next week! All looks good. 👍

Therapy today w/ my beloved therapist... who is a 70+ y.o. white Christian educated "fiscally conservative, socially liberal" (he's down w/ pot & pro-choice) man who does not get it. But, he does understand mental illness. So, he understands me a little... but, still...
