Over the last few months, it is safe to say that my anxiety has been getting better. Don’t get me wrong: I still have anxiety, but my overall level of anxiety is lower than it was a few months ago. However, there is one big thing that sets off my anxiety every now and then, and while I do my best to ignore it (not … Continue reading Basically Just Venting
Week 4 of fantasy football has nearly come and gone, and it’s been terrible. Like, really, really bad. But let’s start with the good. This week our running backs did pretty well and got 32.6 points for us. They’re making me glad that I play them. And now the bad. So this week my father and I decided to bench Roethlisberger and play Stafford instead, … Continue reading A Really, Really Bad Week
This morning, I woke up and got ready for school. After a week, I had already settled into a pretty good routine. I knew where my classes were, what time they were at, and I had found shortcuts from one class to another. For an ADHD person, that routine is important. Without the routine, I’m late, I lose stuff, I have difficulty concentrating, and I … Continue reading An ADHD Nightmare

Once in a while, someone on my Facebook feed will post a useful tip on how to cure ADHD without medication. Those who repost that awful “why French kids don’t get ADHD” get unfollowed until I forget why I have banished them. Other articles are slightly more constructive but equally infuriating to someone who has parented two kids with ADHD, and… Continue reading Exercise & ADHD – When well-meaning advice is infuriating
It’s Pride Week! Here in San Francisco, that means festivities including a Trans March, Dyke March, Pink Saturday (a celebration in the Castro the night before the main parade), and the main parade. It’s a chance to celebrate the LGBTQ community and a chance for allies to express their support for LGBTQ people in their lives. This is especially important after the Orlando shooting on … Continue reading Pride Week
First of all, I’d really like to thank The Legacy for nominating me for this award. It was completely unexpected, and I appreciate both the nomination and the reason he gave for it. You should go check out his blog (One day at a time…It will get better…Eventually…). I especially liked his posts Monologue #1 and About the Illusion and Pointlessness of the Future. Rules for participating in Blogger Recognition Award: … Continue reading Blogger Recognition Award
Yesterday morning I woke up and found out that 49 people had died and 53 more were wounded in a shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando. My heart goes out to the victims and their families. But then I started reading a whole bunch of articles about the tragedy, and even listened to five minutes of FOX News (I had no choice, that’s all … Continue reading The Tragedy In Orlando
Death, In Life We pass – these sleep Beneath the shade where deep-leaved boughs Bend o’er the furrows the Great Reaper ploughs, And gentle summer winds in many sweep Whirl in eddying waves The dead leaves o’er the graves. And the living sigh: Forgotten ones, so soon your memories die. Ye never more may list the wild bird’s song, Or mingle in the crowded city-throng. … Continue reading Poem of the Day for June 12, 2016
Moonlight, Summer Moonlight ‘Tis moonlight, summer moonlight, All soft and still and fair; The solemn hour of midnight Breathes sweet thoughts everywhere, But most where trees are sending Their breezy boughs on high, Or stooping low are lending A shelter from the sky. And there in those wild bowers A lovely form is laid; Green grass and dew-steeped flowers Wave gently round her head. –Emily … Continue reading Poem of the Day for June 11, 2016
The Splash Brothers Grace Us With Their Presence: In Game 1, Steph Curry and Klay Thompson combined for 20 points. In Game 2, they did a bit better and got 35 combined points. In Game 3, they combined for 29 points. During Games 1 and 2, it didn’t matter that they didn’t perform to their usual standard because everyone else (especially Livingston and Green) stepped … Continue reading The Splash Brothers Grace Us With Their Presence
