Week in Review: A Renewal

Well, howdy. It's time again for another Week in Review, and let me say that it has been a topsy-turvy kind of a week. Hitting some low notes and peaking at some fantastic highs, it has been another week in keeping with the trend this summer has been setting. We both had appointments this week, and so we worked around those in our social engagements....

Flat-Out Friday: Don't Ever Stop Writing That F**king Blog

So yeah, the last month or so has been harder than normal. And yeah, I've been sporadic about posting on the blog. But I was told by someone dear to me, "seriously, don't ever stop writing that f**king blog", so I'm hacking away at today's post with the determination of a termite in a wooden house. Gnaw, gnaw, gnaw, etc. I've been seeing my...

Week in Review: Flat and Out

Before you ask: No, I did not forget to post on Friday. I just didn't, or couldn't to be more precise. I spent an hour with my therapist dealing with a break through and the subsequent non-stop crying, and afterward I was too tired to sit down and go through it all again here. The weekend was fabulous. We went to a baseball game for free, courtesy...

Pie Could Save The World

If you know me as more than just a passing acquaintance, I've probably made you a pie. It is what I do - I feed people because I care about them. In the not-so-distant past I had a dream that some day I would own my own little pie shop where my sister and I could bake and serve pies and pastries to fill the world with love. Because pie = love. If...

Week in Review: Get a Life

We have friends! I mean, not that we didn't have friends before, but Matt and I are both the sort of people that have a few friends we really, really like, as opposed to a lot of friends who are just all right. Whatever. The point is that we have friends who like us and we like them and they want to hang out with us, like, twice a week. It's uncanny!  ...

Flat-Out Friday: Your Depression is Special

To be clear, the following rant is not applicable to those of you/us that have an on-going working relationship with our mental disabilities. This is for those people who aren't actually depressed at all but think their online self-diagnosis means they are most likely suffering from the most rare and deadly brain tumour possible, or that their depression...

When Fairies Come to Tea

One of my summer projects this year is the construction of a fairy garden. For most of you who aren't sure what a fairy garden is, think of it like a terrarium but with miniature accents and tiny landscaping. The Edmonton Journal posted an article a couple months ago explaining the growing trend. I've picked it up from other bloggers and Etsy, my source...

Week in Review: We Interrupt This Program

“You say you're 'depressed' - all I see is resilience. You are allowed to feel messed up and inside out. It doesn't mean you're defective - it just means you're human.” ― David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas We aren't talking about Saturday. Specifically, we aren't talking about Saturday between 3-8pm. It doesn't exist. It has been...

Flat-Out Friday: ZOMG What?!

Whew. It's been a week. Appointments with both the physician and the psychiatrist have taken their toll on me mentally and physically. Because I could only find a doctor in a small town south of the city, I have to get up in the morning and drive Matt to work so I can have the car on the days I have appointments. Needless to say, it ends up being...

The Wonders of You (Yes! You, Canada!)

Matt looking properly dapper Hi all! Long time, no talk. Sorry for the intermittent contact lately. As you know from my last post, I've been feeling a bit undermotivated. However, Matt and I had a great Canada Day weekend, so I want to share some of our photos and memories with you all. Friday and Saturday were spent running around doing errands...
