1. Lyft and Uber’s support Both companies have vowed to cover any and all legal fees for any of their drivers who may be sued under the new Texas anti-abortion/anti-woman law. In addition, Lyft is donating $1 million to Planned Parenthood “to ensure that transportation is never a barrier to healthcare access.” You can read […]
I am… reading: Closer to Home by Mercedes Lackey & The Eighth Detective by Alex Pavesi listening to: a playlist of 80s and 90s hip hop and rap loving: that I got my second vaccine today feeling: drained. My Chiari is having a field day today, pain-wise. watching: on binge, season 5 of Ink Master […]
It’s been a long time since I’ve blogged regularly. Other than a few posts here and there, it’s been seven years. Why so long? Honestly, life just got in the way. Something had to give for me, and blogging one of those things. But I’ve missed it. It was always a part of my (almost) […]
One of the things the sucks the most about deployments, besides the obvious distance, is the lack of balance. Hell, that imbalance exists even when the soldiers are BTG in garrison. There isn’t a wife that could be more understanding of the obligations and responsibilities of the Army. I spent more than my share of […]
After only 5 delays, Soldier Daddy is finally home. And what a gigantic cluster &^%$ it was. Not only did he not make home for Christmas Eve, he didn’t make it home for Christmas either. I spent a good portion of Christmas day in a funk, which sucked more than a little! They were supposed […]
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OMy_lzV7mY[/youtube] I woke up this morning with a serious case of Christmas Blues. It has been a really rough year for me, not even counting the deployment, so Christmas cheer has been sadly lacking in my heart this year. And the 5 delays to bring Corey home definately haven’t helped that, either! To have him […]
We are two weeks from the end of deployment now,… FINALLY! I still refuse to get excited until the very day he comes home, though. I know how that sounds, but I am also more than well aware of how often things can change at the last moment. As it is, he was supposed to […]
Happy Veteran’s Day to all of my brothers and sisters in uniform! I also thank the families of all of those in uniform, because without the love and support from family, sometimes that selfless service would be impossible. And a special thank you to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice so that we may live […]
I know that everyone always says “Happy Memorial Day” today, but it always seems kind of wrong to use happy in a day honoring those who fell for our freedom. Yes, they died in honor and we all should be proud and happy for their service, but “happy” just doesn’t seem like the right word […]
The Drama of Deployment Well, where do I start?! Corey was supposed to deploy for Afghanistan on December 29th, but it didn’t happen. The Friday before, he was in the emergency room with a massive, dehabilitating migraine and a fever of almost 103°. Mindful of his deployment, they pumped him full of antibiotics and fluids […]
