This week is going to be an extremely busy week for me.
Today I have two appointments and a last minute shopping trip to deal with before I head to my NAMI affiliation’s cookout in honor of Mental Health Month.
Tuesday and Wednesday I have to finish getting four days worth of work completed (for Tuesday, Wednesday, […]
I got a late start today, but that’s alright on several levels.
One, I work from home so starting at 10 a.m. rather than 9 a.m. is no big deal. Two, I’ve been getting a lot more sleep lately, and I’ve noticed that no matter what time I start working, my mind is much more alert […]
A few years ago I pulled into a Wal-Mart parking lot and saw a veteran in need. He was holding a sign that read “Veteran will work for food or money.” The man weighed on my mind as I shopped for my own food, food for my pets, and unnecessary little extras like scented candles […]
Yesterday was Veteran’s Day here in America, and if I’m not mistaken today is the day we Americans are observing it “nationally,” i.e. not going to work or school, having parades, visiting our loved one’s graves or hugging our loved ones who are still with us - of course by “loved ones,” in this case, […]
Hey folks!
Well, Sunday kicked off Mental Illness Awareness Week (MIAW) - it runs from October 7-13 - and I didn’t mention it because I got all caught up in that total waste-of-time Columbia University study about black homosexuals having coping mechanisms that white homosexuals most likely don’t have.
Well, I did mention it a while back, […]
So, like I said, I turn 26 today.
I thought as a way to commemorate the event here at Mental Health Notes, I’d reflect back on what I learned during my 25th year of life - mental health-related, of course.
So, without further ado, I present…
25 Things I Learned At 25
I would rather give birth to triplets […]
That’s right, I turn the big 2-6 today. Hooray!
We did the dinner/cake/presents thing on Saturday, and the picture above is of me with my sister’s present.
What is it?
A WAL-MART GIFT CARD!!
Those of you who know me well know that there’s no better way to say “I love you,” to me, anyway, than by giving me […]
Oh, Mr. Wonka, are gobstoppers really everlasting?
I’m not a religious person, per se. I went to church many, many times as a child (it was a staple), but I haven’t been to church since my old college roommate got married. Not because I don’t believe in God, because I do. I pray, I’m genuinely kind […]
Well folks, I’ve been absent for much longer than my contract allows, but it’s been one hell of a week.
Brief highlights:
Weaning myself off the Lamictal seems to have been a good idea; I truly feel like I’m on my way to being my “old” self again. Of course, the long term benefits of that […]
This is my dog Chopper, a.k.a Chops, a.k.a. Chopstick, a.k.a. Chopperstick. She’s the most photogenic animal I’ve ever encountered - not because she’s beautiful, but because she poses. For every picture. Seriously.
I’ve attempted this shot several times, and was thrilled that my camera finally flashed at the precise moment to catch one of her “curious […]
