My son and I went to Candelight Concerts - The Best of Hans Zimmer this evening. What a great show!
Sahahria would be happy to know the VA is covering acupuncture treatments for me.
I begin tomorrow 😊

That's awesome! I hope it helps!
I'm super stoked for you!
It's a total lifesaver♡ I hope you love it!
Stabb is super stoked that you're going to be super poked!
Rhyming is fun.
I got a tuition refund from school this week and paid off thousands of dollars of debt. What a damn relief. When I got the check in the mail, of course it would’ve been lovely to do fun things with it – but paying off all of that stuff is essentially going to allow me to do it in the future without concern 🤷🏻♀️ I paid so much off that it started to get addictive during the day as I was checking things off my list, that I ended up dipping into my regular income and dwindling things down pretty low… I shouldn’t have went that far, but there are worse things in life to be doing than clearing off your credit report. I will be fine… I get paid again in a couple of days.
I am *very* close to being debt-free right now.
COMMENTS
That's awesome! The feeling one gets from that is euphoric, at least for me it is. Sounds like great things are happening for you!
That's great news! Paying off debt is so satisfying.
Congrats! Nice feeling.
Yes indeed, still riding high on this feeling.
Great epiphanies have fallen upon me… All of my dreams are coming true. I’m taking care of what I need to do – and I believe in as little as a year from now all the things that I’ve hoped to be true will be the reality I live.
COMMENTS
I hope you get all you desire.
You deserve it. :) I hope it all works out exactly how you want it to!
YOU ARE FABULOUS
:)
Possible crisis averted – schoolwork is complete!
COMMENTS
Yay! One less thing to worry about!
Do a dance.
Trying to knock out as much schoolwork as I can in the case of power outage. It's not ideal to be "creative" under pressure. Stress leads to pain flares and now I just popped a Celebrex and muscle relaxer.
I also put an amethyst around my neck. The stress is purely about quality assignments in a time crunch.
COMMENTS
Well, here's hoping you keep your power and stuff.
Hope so. Schoolwork is done now so at least I don’t have to worry about that.
Stocked up on water, food that doesn’t need to be cooked, and charging all my external chargers to keep my phone going – just in case we lose power. Storm is coming in our direction and honestly… In my neighborhood we lose electricity just from a regular storm in general.
COMMENTS
same same. lol
Let's hope it blows through quickly and we keep our power :D
pfft. I'm planning for no power. WST is trash. lol House generator is out too, so going to test the portable. But it might just be a big 'ole nothing burger. :)
You guys stay safe!
As prepped as possible.
Power went for me, but I do have Spectrum online. Pulled out the portable generator to get my PC running. Priorities. lol
Last night I went to concert. My son and I. He got us tickets to see Childish Gambino. Honestly, I only know five of his songs and I do like those songs… But I really just wanted to go with my son because he was pumped. That being said, it really was an amazing concert. The man is a great entertainer and the crowd was infectious with excitement.
It should be a good evening that I hope to journal about later :)
A quick pause from schoolwork... I am studying and doing- I've told my tale on my Facebook page of being a writer my whole life. That is true. But now I am learning something very technical with limits. Limits that challenge you to create such gold a director needs to (or at least should) create it just as you intend. Once you sell your screenplay- it may not manifest the way you'd hoped.
It's time for me to take the leap and get slammed by professionals so I can learn. No better place to get slammed than in school. That doesn't mean getting a bad grade- I could get a 100% but still have some excellent critique.
When I am finished with this program and get my feet in the water, I can even see myself writing a "How To" book. I can *see* it, but that must be in a world where I have successfully done it.
COMMENTS
Let them shape those nuggets, but hopefully the see the same potential as you?
We shall see :D
Alrighty, midlife crisis sexy main profile photo has been replaced with normal me. LOL
COMMENTS
They are both lovely! You made me chuckle with the midlife crisis wording. lol.
Lucky me, I still have it cached...
😂 I cleared my cache immediately so I didn’t have to see it here anymore.
You always have the best glasses ever:) Your skin is amazing too!
Both sexy. You underestimate your beauty.
:D
I’ll replace my main profile photo tomorrow – I deleted it, and I’m having some issues putting a new one up from my phone. I’ll get on my computer and rectify this tomorrow sometime.
I was talking to my son earlier about never having anyone really care about my grades when I was a kid – nobody asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, and there were no expectations of me either. I really don’t understand that. I was always interested in my son’s schoolwork and also what his plans were. All through his childhood I kept him motivated with his grades – as well as in college, I always inquired.
So here I am, 50 years old and back in school. I’m doing really well and I don’t have an elder to answer to… No parent or grandparent to be proud of what I’m doing. I’m kind of 50/50 in wishing I had that and believing i’s kind of even cooler to be doing well with no pressure from someone else. I don’t know… Maybe it’s not 50/50… Obviously it bothers me.
COMMENTS
Hey, I may be a smidge younger then you, but I already said I was proud of you.
I'm proud of you too!
I know that feeling you are talking about though... No one ever inquired or pushed me to do well. I have always been involved and taken notice of my oldests grades and since I home school the youngest... it goes without saying. lol. I think it was the lack of interest I received that helped me know that is NOT how I wanted things for my children.
I appreciate that, guys. And you know what… I do know that my son is proud. So I have that too.
Not sleeping well. The last few days have sucked… It takes me forever to fall asleep, I’m up through the night – and then I wake up early because other people are awake and I just don’t have any peace.
Maybe something can help me. I do have legal medical marijuana in the form of a tincture. I’m going to grab a dose of that and get back in bed. Hopefully I can have some luck.
COMMENTS
Are you able to take melatonin if your tincture doesn't help with the sleeping?
Sorry to hear that. You should let me talk to you about the second world war. Boom, insta-sleep. :)
All joking aside, I do have one technique that's worked for me pretty consistently- Imagine yourself, your mind, as a rock in a stream and your thoughts and the water flowing around you, over you, through you. The rock is dissolving into the water and flowing away with the thoughts. Might take a few attempts, especially if there's a lot of cluttered thoughts.
I've had sleep issues my whole life. Meds and other supplements stop working after a bit. I think I need to run myself into the ground physically on the regular to try and assist. But I already do a lot.
it might be worth trying to calm the mind, or try some delta waves.
All that water, creekside Stabb just make me have to pee.
Wait- might be my age too. ;)
If you're on Facebook and would like to follow my screenwriter journey, I will share the link. It started as a mere author's page, but I changed it up to fit my new adventure. I hadn't used it since it was created for me by Sahahria and MooniePie more than 11 years ago. Moonie made an awesome avatar and cover for it- but I replaced them in June since I don't use that screen name anymore (and I don't care to attach this place to that page... it's good to have a more private haunt, here). Anyhow, I am just logging the film school experience right now, but this will evolve into a professional page with work I will be creating:

Nice one. Thanks! When's the big day?
I've been using it for a couple months now. I finish school December 2026 - but I should have a few scripts ready to pitch by then. That doesn't mean they'll get picked up... but I'll be on the path.
Sometimes, you just gotta cast the line and see what bites. I'll be curious to see the bait you re using.
Dumb analogy. I don't even think you're into fishing...
LOL... you're right, I don't fish. But seafood is my favorite.
I always enjoy reading about and watching your adventures. You have so many wonderful talents and I just know this adventure is going to be one of your biggest yet!
"Let's Go On an Adventure" lol
Sorry, been listening to a book series where that's a thing...Expeditionary Force.

Honestly, a couple of times it was like I felt my soul leave my body and move toward those musicians.
