Manic Monday


So. Cinco de Drinko is over and although I woke up hangover free this has still been a MANIC MONDAY if i've ever experienced one. I had to increase the size of that font so you guys could grasp the full effect. Overslept. Missed Bus One. Bus Two was delayed due to a wheelchair boarding causing me to miss Trolley One and how ironic is it that Trolley Two was also delayed by a wheelchair boarding. I woke up late but I was still asleep through all of this. I purchased a Monster, collected my change and conveniently left the Monster in the store. You're kidding me, right? Nope. No kidding. My first reaction was to get a drink. I found myself craving a martini. Shot of Jack. SOMETHING strong to take the edge off. Yes. At 9am these thoughts were present. Don't judge me. 
See? You can't judge me. That picture is wrong but it's so freaking funny. Wait, where was I? Oh, yes. My Manic Monday. I had a great breakfast courtesy of my lovely place of employment, my work day was a breeze, I went back to the store on my lunch break and my Monster has carried me to this point. Date Night is approaching. That should make me smile. We're keeping it simple tonight; dinner and a movie. The movie of the evening is 'Long Distance Revolutionary' based on the life and revolutionary times of deathrow inmate, Mumia Abu Jamal. Interesting topic so expect a review from me tomorrow filled with my raw opinion, a couple quotes and of course, cheesy selfies of me and my #HIM.
Peace & Love.

Dear Diary...

Dear Diary, So. Clearly I haven't posted anything in about two weeks. I blame this little fact on LIFE. Well, actually, I would LIKE to blame life but I think I will blame REALITY instead. Life goes on around me and mentally I sometimes shut down. Luckily for me, when it comes to work I move in autopilot so I don't have to be fully present mentally to get the job done physically.  Well. At least that's what I thought. These past two weeks that I haven't written I lost two people very close to me. One I grew with for almost a decade and one I've watched grow. One whom I share a bloodline with and another who is family but doesn't share a drop of blood with me. I pushed myself to keep going because I know life will keep going around me and I fear I'll get left behind. I force myself to bury my emotions because I don't want to appear broken, although if anything were to break me this would be it. I force myself to not only stand up straight and shake it off...

numb. or not.

TheFreeDictionary.com defines 'numb' as: " emotionally unresponsive ."  I thought I was numb but I'm actually the complete opposite of that. I've felt every emotion imaginable in the past 24 hours. Denial, frustration, anger, confusion, pain. I've laughed, cried, screamed. I took a walk. I took a nap. I ignored some calls. I answered some texts. I think I'm still in some weird, warped form of denial. The loss of a loved one is insane. It's motions you go through and emotions you're absorbed in. And it never gets easier. In fact, I feel like as you get older and as more people begin to return home way too soon it's like, "oh no, not another funeral!" When I was younger I wasn't where I am religiously or mentally. I didn't fully understand the power of having your whole life ahead of you and making every moment count. I surely didn't understand that you can't question His timing. You rely on it daily so to que...

TRUE LIFE: I'M A CONTROL FREAK

Anyone who knows me knows I'm a planner. That's what I do. I'm anal. I can't help it. I'm so anal that at times I even get frustrated with God because I can't figure out why my life doesn't go according to my plan. If you're the even the least bit religious I know you're shaking your head at me, insisting I have no plan, it all belongs to Him. I don't disagree but I honestly can't help it. I imagine I was a very detail oriented child. Playing house and making grocery lists while the other children actually played with the dolls. I say this to say that recently I've decided to challenge myself to sit back and relax. I joined a group called Pinky Promise (another post for another time) and our June challenge is to be more obedient to God's timing. This applies mainly to my confusion about love, employment and education. But I've also applied it to my daily life. I'm the least punctual person ever but I hate being late to...
