Confessions of an Anxious Mortician
welcome to my anxious brain
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 […]
Picture it…October 2017. Less than a month before I packed up my whole life and existence and moved to Ohio. SO fucking much has happened since then. SO MUCH. I’ve missed you. Let’s start to catch up, shall we? Join me this evening for the first five chapters. Chapter One. My New Life. Chapter Two. […]
I drove over an hour in Bay Area commute traffic the other night to meet a friend for dinner at a steakhouse (i.e. I ventured through hell for food). It was totally worth it. Between the absolutely delicious wine, the extra bread, the sop-up worthy drunken prawns, and the key lime dessert, there was Steak […]
Sigh. If I didn’t have important alcohol consumption plans for the rest of October, I would totally leave for my new life tomorrow. I’m ready. Really, really, ready. I’ve been couch surfing for a month now, mostly on the same couch, but still not my couch. Not my own space. Not my personalized comfort zone. […]
It’s been nine days since we last chatted. Well, since I last chatted *at* you, but whatever. I’m on Couch #4 (which technically is Couch #1), at my chosen-sister’s house. She’s been ever so accommodating. I truly owe her something grand. Like a massage. A deep tissue massage, at the hands of a muscular man […]
Twenty years. I’ve known my BFF for twenty years. I met her husband that same month. We were all college students then, at Humboldt State University in Arcata, CA. I was a Sophomore, and they were Freshmen. It was the late 1990s, and life was grand. And green. Very, very green. They were not a […]
I’m on Couch #2 tonight, at my sister’s family’s house, where I am staying the night with their 17-year-old cat. Old Man Lolo is very sweet, but my lord, he’s old. He can’t go down the stairs himself, so he is trapped upstairs until he meows his grouchy man meow, and someone goes up to […]
OH.MY.GAWD. I am exhausted beyond exhausted. The removal of my stuff from the apartment isn’t going as smoothly, or quickly, as I would like. I’ll just flat out say it…I’m on my period. And my periods are hellish. Like, near-hemorrhaging hellish. Doing 85% of my move alone, while on the heaviest days of my period, […]
