humanity

For better or for worse, relationships reveal the core of the human condition.

Connected Corners
Sunshine slides itself across my living room walls. Home alone, I watch it travel throughout the day. At two in the afternoon, it settles into the northeast corner, illuminating a green chair and an orange electric guitar. They stand proudly, bathed in golden light.

The subject of veterinary wellbeing has gotten expanding consideration in the course of the most recent decade. Regardless of whether provoked by cultural worry for wellbeing and health all in all, or the developing attention to the upsetting frequency of self destruction in the calling (1), veterinary wellbeing is at the center of attention across Canada, and around the world. We could ask, "Is this since veterinarians' wellbeing is more terrible than it used to be? Are the difficulties of work on getting overpowering?" According to Dr. Jean Wallace (2) in a new report recognizing the distressing pieces of veterinarians' work and how it identifies with their wellbeing, "an ever increasing number of veterinarians are experiencing sympathy weariness, burnout, and self-destructive practices."

I sit in the car today awaiting my daughter laying here with a mask on my face Lysol wipes is ready to go windows got to be rolled down so she don’t get contracted with anything. Now that’s the last thing I want for her. She really needed a ride to her doctors appt.pretty important appt. and she just split with her boyfriend. Needless to say I couldn’t say no I’m staying in the car I’m not going anywhere. It’s toward the end of the Covid sickness but I take precautions just in case. As I sit here writing this my mind can’t help but constantly go over the stresses of moving. All these questions I keep asking myself over and over. Like am I still going to have this Covid when I go to this other state. I get tested tomorrow if I come up positive I can’t move yet. What the hell am I gonna do after this week. I did not plan on catching the Covid. So three more days is our last day here. I can’t have that peace of mind until two days from now geez Louise. Am I going to have enough money? I couldn’t work the last two weeks because of Covid. I intended to have enough for my trip over there and at least have some extra cash to start my new life. I have a Couple side hustles going for me as far as money. So I am grateful I at least have them, while I wait for my massage license to come and I can start working again. Between this pandemic my son and I getting sick I could use a little help. I didn’t want to ask anybody for any help, but this is the time I really need to. My grandmother always told me one day Mija you will need help everybody needs help I never believed her, but given these past four years my God have I had to ask for help so many times in more ways than one. I never take anything for granted and I appreciate any help that I do get just those last two weeks really put me behind, and I don’t know if I’m gonna be able to start a new life anywhere else I mean I don’t Have a place to live in this state after this week. So with test results awaiting and not being able to work, and feeling like caca I think I’m handling it pretty good, I try to stay optimistic about everything but everybody has their cracking point you know. I don’t want to hit that point. I’ve been drawing and writing a lot I’ve just been very inspired, and well just got bit by the creative bug for some reason, I guess it was an adverse effect of the Covid. Anything to keep my mind off of it , but I just don’t know what to do anymore. I mean so far everything that I needed for me and my sons quarantine has come to us when I didn’t have enough money for everything that we needed. It just came to us. I trusted God or the universe (for once) and it came, that’s why I haven’t really been too stressed, but I can’t help in the back of my mind I’m just going a little bat shit crazy. It’s cutting it a little close don’t you think. I shall continue to be positive and write stories of my life. I tried to write made up stories but my life stories just seemed way more interesting. So if you find them even a little enjoyable , Please feel free to help a sister out and Give me a like and gratuities are always appreciated. Everybody stay healthy love your life, appreciate all, never take anything for granted,our health is our wealth. I just wish that we can buy food and pay bills with our health.

Waiting On Your Soulmate
After three long-term relationships, in my life, I have become quite the expert in what to do and what not to do. I have also learned about three different personality types as well as how my own personality has changed over the years. It's the pretty typical story of a lifetime of relationships. Puppy love, twenties partying, secure "final." Although, that secure "final" relationship was anything BUT either of those words, for me. Thank goodness.

The Day After
How are you feeling today? I am feeling a mixture of emotions - sad, depressed, still a little angrier than I expected and a slight amount of hope.

Unpacking (And Packing-Up) Christmas
My Christmas paraphernalia is still out. I usually give it a week into the new year before I start thinking about undecorating. By then, well actually before New Year’s, I’m thoroughly fried on Christmas music, Christmas movies, and Christmas food, with the exception of eggnog which calls me to marshall every last ounce of my will power to stop drinking because that’s some tasty shit any time of year and thank you sweet baby Jesus the stores stop carrying it otherwise I’d probably most likely be still swilling that creamy goodness. I think I’ve made my feelings on eggnog crystal clear. Not taking down any decorations for at least a week also gets me through Epiphany. It’s when some faith traditions observe the visit of the Three Wise Men bringing gifts to the baby Jesus. In Latin American and some European countries it’s called Three Kings Day (Dia de Los Reyes) and it’s sometimes an even bigger celebration than Christmas Day.

When Meth Things Happen to Good People
A Good Person 2019: One who orders directly off the menu at their chosen restaurant. As I sat in the waiting area of the ER waiting to find out why the white blood cell count of an apparently healthy looking 34 year old was lower than the approval rating of our newly inaugurated president among liberals all I could ask myself was what the fuck? What the fuck went through your fucking head that made you think it was a good idea to inhale a cloud of meth from a bubble pipe brought to my lips by that guy? He had quite the bubble himself. He had been brought over as a joining third by my post clubbing night cap from grindr. “I’ll get some work done…”

Dying to Love
Yep! I don’t give a fuck about anything except MySELF. I have decided that is what is best for Me. To smile & BE as self-absorbed as humanly possible. I have found IT is better to BE overly self-absorbed than to BE “normally” self-absorbed (or even “regularly” self-absorbed).

Loneliness
I sit and wonder sometimes why do people do the things that they do? I ask this question because I know why I have gotten into relationships that wasn't a conducive relationship riddled with insults and total disrespect I did this out of being lonely. Us as women tend to develop relationships because we are really scared of being alone and being lonely, now there is a difference in the two let me break it down. Loneliness causes people to feel empty, alone and unwanted when you feel lonely you crave human contact.

Cozy Couch Surfing amidst COVID-19
In this post modern world of COVID19, there is no place like my couch. I say this with teary eyes, as I celebrate our anniversary of couchtime together. Couchy has been there to catch me when I fall, cradle my overly worrisome head with soft cushiness, and support me without question.

I’m Going To Write About You
I’ve said it before and it’s worth repeating all and any of the sometimes incomprehensible things that people say, do or don’t do, or find offensive or draw a line about... has nothing... not one thing to do with you.

What's up with 90th Birthday Parties?
A few years ago, a friend of mine and I were driving to Lilydale Park in Saint Paul to go for a walk and take some photos. As I drove to the southwest there was an orange sign up ahead that read, Road Closed. “Oh no,” I said. We can’t get into the park; the road is closed.”
