A lot of people have said the last year that they admire how I have dealt with the cards I have been given and enjoyed my positive outlook. Well, my outlook isn’t always so positive, and I know that currently I am dealing with a pretty bad depression. This has been going on for a… Continue reading Dealing with Depression

Energy Management
It’s officially the “Most Wonderful Time of the Year” and that means it is one of the busiest for any and all musicians. Just the day to day at school is taking more out of me, and it is a grind. I am up at 4:45am every school day, so that I am in the… Continue reading Energy Management
Neurology Follow-up
This past week I had a neurology follow-up again, finally. There is good news, and mixed news, but nothing that I would really call “bad news”. The first thing is they may never know exactly what happened this past January. Here is what we do know however. I do not have MS. Doctor was quite… Continue reading Neurology Follow-up
Settling Into Life
The last month has been crazy busy. I closed on my house, I moved, and finally my car came through and I am driving again. I joked to my primary care doctor and orchestra friends that I am finally a “full adult all grown-up again”. I must say it feels good, but it has been… Continue reading Settling Into Life
Everything All at Once
Well we always knew September would be busy, and that has absolutely turned out to be true.

My sister and niece are doing well and are resting and recovering… Continue reading Everything All at Once

First in the garage are my cabinets and what looks like vanity tops and sinks. So that is exciting that… Continue reading House Update-Stealth Mode Edition
Summer Knitting Projects
I have had one of the most productive summers when it comes to knitting in a long time. I don’t know if it was having someone to knit for (my new niece) or just because I needed diversions but I finished several projects this summer. I am also trying to keep my momentum going on… Continue reading Summer Knitting Projects
House Update!
It’s been a few weeks since I dedicated a blog post to an update on my house, and this weekend is a great time to get into it, because today I had my pre-drywall meeting and I thought it went really well. It is hot and sultry today, but we had the meeting right before… Continue reading House Update!
Shopping in a store is not all it’s cracked up to be…
Finally, a rainy day in the midwest. Every year I like to get a new outfit or two to add to my school collection, and cycle out some older things. We do have a tax holiday in Ohio, but Macy’s seems to give things away frequently and today was no different. I wanted to take… Continue reading Shopping in a store is not all it’s cracked up to be…
Paperwork Blues
I haven’t written much here on the blog because there hasn’t been much to report. I’ve also been fighting probably my deepest depression since all of this started. It is directly related to the fact that it takes literally forever to get this paperwork sorted so I can get back to my life. I’ve lacked… Continue reading Paperwork Blues
