Picking Up Where We Left off…
On Sunday, after my last post, we headed back into Disneyland. We started with a ride on Pinocchio’s Daring Journey. Then we attempted King Arthur’s Carousel, but unfortunately, it was shut down for “technical difficulties.” So instead, we hopped onto Storybook Land Canal Boats and enjoyed the charming miniature scenes. Afterward, we stopped by Maurice’s Continue reading

Tuesday Talley and Complete Exhaustion
Had my follow-up appointment with my doctor today, and I’m happy to share that she’s genuinely pleased with my progress! My prescription’s been upped, which I’m taking as a good sign of things moving in the right direction. I’m officially down 10.2 pounds, and I’m feeling pretty good about it! But let me tell you, Continue reading

Always Learning
My daughter and I had a rough night last night. We’ve hit a sleep regression. The first real regression she’s ever had. She has always been an easy sleeper. She never needed us to stay in the room.

Dad’s Day: Just Another Day
My husband’s Father’s Day was rather uneventful. That’s what happens when you’re broke. That damned airfare really messed with our finances. I’m not used to purchasing for 3 people. Anyways, we ended up at In N Out. The entire meal was more mediocre than usual. I had what was supposed to be a chocolate milkshake. Continue reading

Sleep Deprivation: 0/10, Would Not Recommend
I think I have figured out a great source of the anxiety and depression I struggle with everyday. I’m going to map it out, and it will probably seem obvious to an outsider. Just cut me some slack and remember, when you’re involved, watching everything close up, it’s a lot more difficult to see the Continue reading

Exhaustion, Climate Torture, Intimidation.
I’m in Massachusetts. My husband’s family is everywhere. I’m exhausted. The only reason I get this alone time is thanks to my kid’s nap. I should be utilizing the time to nap as well, but I’m freezing. Humidity is a weird thing. It’s like I’m covered in dampness as if I’m sweating, but because I’m Continue reading
