Started an Open Diary in 1998 but deleted it, have had this one since 2005. I live in Oregon with my friend Reed and our five cats.

We’re Alive

February 6, 2023
Reed and I and my mother have survived Covid. Neither of my grandmothers got Covid. It's been a long time since I've been to work but I think I successfully figured out how to get my paid leave, which will be good since my wages are about to be garnished again. I just started back…

  • I Couldn’t Make This Up
    January 29, 2023
    On Wednesday I took off work to take Reed to get his colonoscopy. During that whole process, he was tested for covid. When the procedure was over they told Reed they had found a small polyp, probably not important. We went home and the hospital called to tell us that Reed had covid. Reed immediat...

  • What day is it?
    January 24, 2023
    Today I spent most of the day up at my grandmother's. My aunt Joyce was there, and we caught up and we talked about ways to make helping grandma easier, like moving her in the bed, or getting her in and out of the bed. I mostly hung out and crocheted and stayed nearby in…

  • Busy Me
    January 23, 2023
    Day 1 of my new weekly workout regimen and so far it seems harder but I'm sure K knows what she's doing and I'll just stick with it. After the gym, I swung by the store and picked up some stuff to make chicken broccoli braids to have with DnD tonight and then went home…

  • Uneventful Little Day
    January 22, 2023
    This morning I got some more schoolwork done, snuggle with the cats, and headed off to the gym. K finished going over my exercises and I did my new Sunday workout but it was exhausting and it seems like my new regimen is harder than my previous one. I don't know how that is going…

  • Solving a Mystery
    January 21, 2023
    This morning I woke up feeling perfectly fine. I weighed in and I had lost about another pound, and the fancy scale said I had lost fat and gained muscle. I got up and made myself some malto meal with eggs and chia seeds and raisins and honey. Had some green tea. Then started catching…

  • Depressing News of the World
    January 20, 2023
    Maybe it is depression that hit me like a ton of bricks on Wednesday out of nowhere and all of the sudden, making me feel exhausted and like I don't give a shit about anything and like I don't want to do anything ever. I had three days of this and didn't seem to develop…

  • A Down Day
    January 18, 2023
    Today was...different. I woke up kind of groggy, and with dry air blowing into my nostrils because my CPAP had run out of water even though I had filled it as always the night before. My workday was fine but calm and kind of low-energy (or as low-energy as my lomaira allows me to get).…

  • Retail Therapy and Cleaning
    January 17, 2023
    I missed a day. Yesterday was actually kind of nice. My original plan was to go to the gym early, get some schoolwork done, and then maybe go to Powell's. I did go to the gym early, but schoolwork was stressing me out and I just did the one assignment that was due today. Then…

  • An Uninspired Sunday
    January 15, 2023
    Today my appointment with K wasn't until 10 am, so I took a nice long shower and washed and conditioned my hair. I used my new leave-in conditioner. I had peanut butter toast and a protein shake for breakfast and watched some Santa Clarita Diet. I was under the impression that K would make me&hel...
