I continue to struggle as Monday August 29 marks two weeks of interrupted sleep patterns. Two days in from a recent cpap level adjustment, it is still very difficult to continue to sleep past the threshold of 4 hours of sleep using the machine. I continue to awake today at the lovely hour of 230pm. … Continue reading Reassurance and relief
Last night I had a scheduled sleepover with Mayo Clinic for a long-awaited sleep study. I arrived in a tizzy at the Basso Building on the West Campus of Mayo Clinic with two giant bags, a body pillow, and a fuzzy Ugg blanket. Along with a full day of school orientation for the kiddos, remote … Continue reading Dream On
I have had to make the difficult decision to defer my graduate school start till next semester. Many factors led to this decision, mostly due to a defaulted loan that I could not pay in full before registration. I hope to not only have the loan paid by the spring, but also to be mentally … Continue reading Hurry up and wait
I hesitantly and begrudgingly signed myself up for Women’s Lacrosse league, in Jacksonville for the summer. The league runs for 6 weeks, last Tuesday was the first week of meeting. This women’s league is for recent hs/college grads or post college graduates. Given its been almost 17 years since I last saved a crucial lacrosse … Continue reading Lax Box FL adult League= SG back in the cage
I have grown accustomed to sharing my struggles with mental health over the years. Whether as a outreach presenter with NAMI sharing my story with various types of audiences, or writing a brief post here and there on social media. Whenever May rolls around every year, I am always inclined to share with others, what … Continue reading MAY. Mental Health Awareness Month, obligatory testimony.
Spent the later half of the Friday evening volunteering with Guardian Ad Litem with their annual fundraiser, this year’s theme mimicked a Wizard of Oz theme toting, “There’s no place like home.” I arrived to the empty factory, that had been transformed to a fancy venue space called the Glass Factory, in downtown Jacksonville. A … Continue reading There’s no place like home—GAL Fundraiser
This past weekend was quite eventful, as some celebrated religiously…we concentrated on an elaborate leg of lamb feast and plenty of birthday festivities. The morning began with the girls letting us sleep in, as they tore through their Easter baskets that the Easter bunny had left behind. I woke up to Hazel explaining that the … Continue reading Jason’s 40th Birthday/Easter Celebration 4.17.22
I promised my Bestie that after the previous post, I would not tease with such titles of craziness and deliver only the mundane story of the day. So here is a post about our weekend fun at the fair, a tale of the sweet lady who gifted us the arm bands for ride admission and … Continue reading Clay County Fair
Today, I half-heartedly committed to an outreach opportunity. After coaching Ellas game in the morning, I headed straight to the event. In a state of obligation. Begrudgingly already upset that I had overwritten and booked up my weekend. What happened took me by complete surprise. I reconnected with myself, through the various speakers at this … Continue reading My second chance.
I guess I should consider a career change. A lot of home health care in my past and present, hopefully not too much in my future. Two days ago I flew into Maryland to help care for my mother since she left the hospital and home recovering from surgery. I am thankful that she was … Continue reading Sarbear’s Home Health Care
In speaking to my father chatting today about Mom, he mentioned the old military favorite of the waiting game when it comes to her health. Hurry up and wait he said, the all too familiar saying and I didn’t swallow that well for many reasons. Mostly as I hardly have the inclination to remain patient … Continue reading The Unsinkable Melinda Ruth
Well, I am making strides to do so. Some friends and family know that I was struggling with my mental health recently Aug-Sept. I have felt more balanced and generally more focused lately than before. With some perspective I know that I was hypomanic moving into full blown mania during those weeks, accompanied with high … Continue reading SG gets her groove back
Always enjoy my jam packed weekend trips to visit family back home in Maryland. In fact, I probably couldn’t have fit any other plans into the weekend if I tried. Maryland will always be our home, regardless of where we end up. Initially, I had planned to visit MD this particular weekend to be part … Continue reading MD Visit Highlights, and a close call at BWI
