Today marks a few important things. First of all, it’s March now. WOOT. Second of all, today is the day I would be jumping in cold water for Special Olympics but I did that last year and it was terrifying. I’ll stick to dry land from now on, but I still want to be aContinue reading “One Month Checkup”

A little less medicated
Once upon a time I thought I was crazy. Then (like 5 years ago) I saw a therapist and realized that my boss at the time was the crazy one and if I WASN’T letting that little devil (seriously, she is really short and is the devil incarnate) bother me then yes, I had someContinue reading “A little less medicated”
I wasn’t really joking about thawing out
Former president, vampire hunter, alleged depression sufferer, non-namesake of Ashley’s baby and bearded wonder Abraham Lincoln once said “Most of us are just about as happy as we make up our minds to be.” Suffice it to say, it’s been a long winter. So long in fact, I’m pretty sure it’s still going, even thoughContinue reading “I wasn’t really joking about thawing out”
Saying something
I have debated, on and off, since Friday, if I should write something about what happened. I have turned my thoughts over and over in my head and I kept coming back to the same thing – I wanted to get them out. I wanted to write them down, so-to-speak. No matter how jumbled, noContinue reading “Saying something”
I came, I saw, I winked. And then I moved on.
One month. That’s how long it took me to decide. It was a month when my insomnia came back full-force, when my anxiety moved from threat level yellow (where it stays most of the time) to red-orange or orange-red or whatever that crayon color is. It was a month when I had paid $35 andContinue reading “I came, I saw, I winked. And then I moved on.”
Don’t worry ’bout a thing…
I say “No problem” a lot. I picked it up in my home away from home/other favorite country, Jamaica, where I’ve been twice in the past 10 years and hopefully will be headed to next July for a week. They say it a lot over there, because they don’t get stressed about a lot —Continue reading “Don’t worry ’bout a thing…”
Two eight
Tuesday night I didn’t fall asleep until well after 2 a.m. And it wasn’t for lack of trying. I read before bed, I didn’t go anywhere near the computer after work, I watched 10 minutes of the Weather Channel. Nothing helped. And so I laid there. Staring at the ceiling and then the wall whileContinue reading “Two eight”
My favorite posts this year – 10, to be exact
In honor of another year of blogging with double the amount of posts, comments and followers from the year before (really? What??!?) I have rounded up my personal favorites from what I’ve shared with you on this site. Some are one-hit wonders and others are part of a series. Because it’s too awesome not to,Continue reading “My favorite posts this year – 10, to be exact”
Getting serious here for a minute
It’s not always fun and games over here at on-account-of.com, or, in my offline existence either. But you know that, I’ve talked about it plenty before and for the most part, I am an open book, take it or leave it. That said, I want to talk about something important, something serious. And it’s aboutContinue reading “Getting serious here for a minute”
Untitled
You see, I would have given this post a clever title if I could have thought of one. But I’m too mentally spent to worry about it right now. Besides, “Untitled” is all mysterious and whatnot so it should drive some hits from the curious/nosy. And you know I’m all about the blog hits. ButContinue reading “Untitled”
