Confessions of an Anxious Mortician
welcome to my anxious brain
Welcome back to Pick Me Up Wednesday! A day that actually meant something back when I knew what a weekend was. It’s been a little over seven years. That’s a lot of missed Wednesdays! Anywhooo… Here’s a little something that has recently made me smile.
Let’s talk about irrational fears for a minute, shall we? Here are my top 5, as of today… My absolute #1 irrational fear is spontaneous combustion. Legit. Yes, I am aware of how silly that is. That’s why it’s irrational. I’m not a complete idiot. Just a little odd. Careening out of control in a […]
Chapter Forty-One. I scheduled my Laws exam. If I pass, I’ll finally be a licensed Funeral Director. This is what I moved across the country for. I’m terrified. Success scares the shit out of me. Keeping my eye on the end goal. My name on that sign. If I fail, I do it again. As […]
Sometimes you “can’t” go home again. R.I.P. Betty White. Chapter Thirty-six. Trip back home wasn’t what I expected; though I’m not sure what I expected. Looking back, it’s truly something I needed, and put a lot of things into perspective. Work is crazy as usual. I’m working on changing my mindset. The future sort of […]
Decided that the pictures should be first. Chapter Thirty-one. It’s cold. There’s a new President. Work is hard, but I finally have a career. I have a big girl job, and a new big girl car. The holidays are coming; they’re going to be weird this year. So much of life up in the air. […]
Chapter Twenty-Six. My time on the CCMS campus is over. Practicum starts on Monday. Still doing on-call nights and weekends at my current funeral home residence. Forty-four days until I graduate with a Bachelor’s in Mortuary Science. Still need to find an apprenticeship. Life is good. Chapter Twenty-Seven. The Covid-19 pandemic is a thing. Graduation […]
Chapter Twenty One. Second semester at Mortuary Science school successfully completed. Roommate at my funeral home apartment moves in tomorrow. I haven’t lived with a stranger in twenty years. My whole life is in one room. This too shall pass. Chapter Twenty-Two. Third semester well under way. Roommate dropped out after a week of school […]
Welcome back! I’m proud of you. And me, for actually sharing this crap. Chapter Sixteen. Semester almost over. Day job getting better ’cause my Grandma visited me in a dream and put me in my place. Going back to Cali for Christmas. Still doing my best to stay alive. Winter is coming. Chapter Seventeen. Survived […]
If you’ve made it this far, congratulations. That’s what I tell myself on the third chapter of an epic novel, and during a third squeal of nerd movies. That being said, welcome back. I’m happy you’re here. Chapter Eleven. School-before-real-school starts next Tuesday. Job still good. Apartment still good. Weather getting better. Birthday getting closer. […]
And now we’re on to Chapter Six through Ten. Taking us quickly to the six month mark. I was such a little deathcare baby then. Chapter Six. I got a job! I think it’s going to be a great fit! Things are falling into place. Now I can relax a little. Chapter Seven. Got a […]
