Last night, I snuck into the Mount Vernon Stake Christmas program late. I didn’t think I’d make it at all, but I discovered I would be able to catch the last little bit of it.

This week hasn’t been too swell. and this is the week to make lists. So here’s a list. 1) I got angry this week because I realized that I hadn’t taken my own past abuse as seriously as I should have. 2) I became angry with my abuser(s). 3) Then I realized that my self-destructiveContinue reading “Learning”

I love my house, but I’ve been here for overContinue reading “I’m running away!”

I feel like I’m running on empty. I’m barely getting to things on time. I have no energy at all, which doesn’t make any sense considering that I sit around way too much. BUT. . . despite all this. . . classes have been going very well. This morning I introduced descriptive rhetorical tools thatContinue reading “Empathy”

I’m draining, draining. (See Eddie Izzard’s bit about laundry. . .) I should be asleep–but I slept in for a very long time. And now, even though I’ve taken Nyquil–I’m still awake.
