Oct 24th -25th


It was time, 12am Friday morning Chris took me to the Greyhound station. My bus didn’t leave till 12:45 but he wanted to make sure I was there with good time. We stood in line for a while and he kept going over each stop where everything was where I should eat or sit and all that good stuff, he wanted to make sure I was safe during this trip <3>


Now each time Chris had to take this trip my crying time was shorter and shorter this time I was only a ½ hour. My trip from Edmonton Alberta Till Fargo North Dakota I was accompanied by two people the whole way. Once in Fargo I said good buy to my Bus buddies and hello to my new Snowbirds. Snowbirds are Canadians who leave Canada for the winter. These folks were moving to Mexico for the next 6 months. They were so nice and helpful and fun to be around as well.
I really felt on US soil when we went to Burger King and there was raspberry Ice tea. You see in Canada there are no flavored sodas and teas like that. I miss raspberry ice tea as well as Lime Pepsi and other flavored soda. When I mentioned this to my snowbirds another passenger overheard me and commented when he was in Russia they only had Pepsi and fanta for sodas LOL Well soon the trip was close to 40 hours and Minneapolis MN was in site and my friend Amy was waiting for me at the station to take me to WI. The three hour drive from MN to WI flew by. We had a great time catching up.
But the night was ending and we arrived to my parents’ house where I will be spending the next 6 months. Being back at my parents felt good yet odd. I have not lived in that bed room for over a year, and completely away for 6 months. Its so cold here, this might sound silly but its colder here right now then it was in Edmonton. And our Apt always was in the 80F and if you know my parents home, it’s never warm in here and my bedroom seems to never get heat.

(and no that is not snow its salt)

Hello Beautiful

How times have changed and how things that once were OK are not and no longer carry the same feeling or intent.  When you think of the word “woman” and do you automatically think bitch or hussy, baggage or bit? According to various traditional dictionaries, synonyms for “woman”, which came as a bit of a shock, and possibly more insightful on why certain generations use words such as these to describe a woman. Today at my place of work a gentleman came up to my counter and said "Hello Beautiful" to me. Now, this customer does come in several times a week and is not a total stranger when I'm at work but still. He is in his 50-60s he works either in construction or as a big rig driver, not that any of this is very relevant but it is a generational thing I have noticed amongst folks that speak like that. "'Hello, gorgeous'; 'hi, honey bun or sweetheart, can you get me a coffee?' No man would ever be called sweetheart, ever, in the workplace," T...

Rock, Paper, Control

The feeling of no control. No control over my mental health, my weight, or my physical health. I like to have things planned and organized because that give me some control in my life. I feel though, like those little things are just pieces of paper with a rock on them on a windy day, soon they to will be out of my control. I once had control over my health and weight, but that was nearly 14 yrs ago. Each year I advance in age I loose more and more control over those two things. No Dr. or specialist seem to know why. Back when I had control, my weight would fluctuate but nothing substantial. I was a ball of anxiety and stress back then as well, so nothing there changed. I was more active in those days, doing all the things all the time. Not sure if that was to hide from my brain weasels or having to go home and be around my mother. In college I had around 4 to 5 part time jobs, 16 to 18 credits a semester, homework for both art and academic classes, a significant other, a flourishing g...
