Oh yeah, DON'T DO IT, DUMB-ASS!! Well, apparently, that's exactly what I've done. Most of you guys know my story, a little over three years ago now I was a bit "too" honest with a strange therapist (mine was on vacation) when I when in for a med check (because mine were BAD ju-ju and I wanted off them) and I ended up with a four-day, three-night stay in the Hotel California (as I like to call it). Granted, I wasn't in the best headspace BEFORE that little "incident", but since then, I've been on a personal lockdown ever since. By lockdown, I mean I only left the house to go to work and the barest of necesssities. It was over a year before I could take my road trips again and they were sparse. I haven't been to Disney since 2016. And, because of events that happened in said "hotel", I've slept on the couch ever since, despite numerous attempts to return to sleeping in the bed. It had been three years of a very quarantine...

First, the IMPORTANT news...my Sister and Brother-In-Law aren't any better, but they aren't any sicker either (although I can't confirm that). So, I'm not sure if that's good news or bad. But my BIL's Mother, has been battling Alzheimer's for like 15+ years (maybe more), finally passed away on Friday, so one more punch to the gut. Then, this weekend, they lost another good friend to Covid. It's wearing them both down during a time when they don't need it. Thanks to everyone for your well-wishes though. We aren't really a video-chat family, I couldn't do that myself, let alone get someone else to do that too! Sometimes I have to do it for work, but I always turn the camera AWAY from my face (that might be an issue for someone considering starting a YouTube Channel, right?). On my front, Friday's therapy session went worse than the first, and I was told that, although she was still willing to work with me, she felt that my trauma ...

This week I had "planned" to share my therapy experience and that whole path with you guys, but life kicked me in the tail in ways I didn't see coming. Literally 20 minutes of me getting to work after my therapy appointment, we got a call that a Covid-positive co-worker's wife (he was sick too), literally dropped dead! She was just 55 years old. Their daughter has it too, but she was infected elsewhere, so she hadn't been in the house. His nurse of a sister stepped in to help him do CPR on his wife, so now she has it too. But here is where I start to get angry...within hours of her passing, there were pictures on Facebook of him hugging various members of his immediate family, including a negative son (which now isn't) and many others (a lot of which are also now positive) because of all of the outpouring of grief. I would be terrified of infecting someone else, a lot more than worrying about getting a hug from someone. Is that just me? I get that I...

Or, as potentially "normal" as I can be...I stitched ONE day this weekend. I FINALLY slept a good full-night's sleep, so I thought I'd forget about everything and get caught up on Lil's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. watch-a-longs and stitch a bit. For those that don't know, Elizabeth Henstridge, who plays Agent Simmons on AOS, is having watch-a-longs on her YouTube Channel , and she has special guests including other cast members (and a lot of the big ones, not just little guys), directors, VFX people, heads of wardrobe, hair and makeup, props, and a lot of other departments. She has them remembering the episode filming, describing their personal paths into the business and what their jobs entail. It's just very informative for, not only the diehard S.H.I.E.L.D. fans, but for anyone interested in the industry in general. I didn't think I cared that much about the behind-the-scenes stuff, but it turns out, after watching her vids, I do tend to be quite en...

"Admit it, you get a quarter from the hope commission every time you say that word, don't you?". I know I use that word a lot here...and in my everyday speech, or I have in the past...not so much lately. Using that word is the side-effect of being a Disney girl maybe, but it's also a very strange trait to have for an Aspergirl with so many other conditions that, not only contradict that mentality, but that have been so rubbed raw, not only from the events of the past year with Covid, but with the past four years in general. For the past week, I've practically been sequestered in my house when I haven't been at work (but honestly, I've been that way all year, so not THAT big of a difference, but still). I've not sleeping, except for a hour or less per night, because I've been glued to my screen in terror...watching the vote totals go up and down. There has been a lot of commotion outside with people excited thinking tha...
