In the PNW it’s really easy to get seasonal depressive disorder. Especially if you’re like me and lived your whole adulthood in the southwest.!

This has been a rough week. Snowed in with no big projects! Didn't feel like reading a lot, watching tv, or working on my scrapbook...

It’s kind of the old “chicken and egg” saying, just about why instead of how. Most of the things I right are a bit more serious I think. This was just fun to write, and I enjoy the concept. Hope you do too.

Inside These Walls of Hell ​Inside these walls of hell sometimes it’s so hard to breathe. Inside these walls of hell are the darkest days my eyes have ever seen. Inside these walls of hell no one will ever feel my pain. Inside these walls of hell not a soul will see...

Digging into the Marchese’s family opened a Pandora’s Box I wasn’t prepared for, and I don’t know what it means from here.

Age 10 My Mom siblings an I lives in a decent town house three floors an kept in for the most part clean. We took turns cooking cleaning an once our chores were done our friends always lined up outside waiting for us to come out. Some memories I have around this age mom had a couple boyfriends. This one was someone who has still been in my life off an on. But I always remember the man with his short jean shorts a cast of his foot an a tank. My late brother's dad. (Brothers best friend). He used to roll his smokes. An some days when I'd rather sit at home I'd roll packs for him so he didn't have to. But they didn't last long it wasn't until my step dad who now I love very dearly was set up on a blind date with my mom. I guess it went so well we were told 2 weeks after they met we're moving into his house on North end of Edmonton. The commute back and forth from school and home was an hour each day. It wasn't long after that we moved back south. Now six kids two adults three bedroom bst.
