As I sit here typing this, I am having trouble finding the words to say what’s in my head. There has been SO MUCH that has happened in the last two weeks. To say that I am overwhelmed would be an understatement. A lot has happened in the last year. A year where we encounteredContinue reading “When You’re Left Feeling Invisible”

I have never felt more abandoned that I have right now. Knowing everything that has happened in the last year, combined with the knowledge with what we’ll be facing in the coming weeks, overwhelmed doesn’t even begin to cover it. This is no longer a matter of ‘just breathe’ and ‘one step as a time’.Continue reading “I’m Done With the Lemons!”

For the past year, it seems like life has just been one HUGE roller coaster ride. While I agree that life itself is supposed to be a roller coaster and you take the good with the bad, it changes completely when someone else takes control and sends you down a path you weren’t even supposedContinue reading “Peace of Mind”

For the last week and half, life has just thrown us curveball after curveball after curveball. As a result, it’s thrown EVERYTHING off kilter. For a household that runs on routine and schedules (because that’s how we work best when we know what to expect when), it’s gotten REALLY rough. Things are now starting toContinue reading “The Little Things…”

To say I’m angry would be the understatement of the year. On Friday, I got mad at the neighbors upstairs for repeatedly intentionally finding a way to leave the heat off and doing so because this fellow upstairs has an unhealthy obsession with making us suffer in a cold environment. They heard and finally turnedContinue reading “As Expected…”

More often than not, it’ll get me thinking about how to repurpose the item that just got ‘tossed’. One persons trash is another persons treasure. One day, on the wayContinue reading “Reduce. Reuse. Repurpose.”

How do you quantify trauma? I’ve been very vocal about the war that’s been happening over the thermostat and the ripple effect that it has had on us. To some, it seems like a silly spat over one small thing. However, there are nuances to the situation that make it difficult to explain with words.Continue reading “Trauma”

I have encountered many people who have the mindset that every negative can be turned into a positive. Or, it’s a mindset of ‘No negativity allowed’. However, as someone who is currently trying to get out a negative situation caused by someone else, I honestly don’t see the benefit. Yes, having a positive outlook onContinue reading “Think Positive!”

So, for the last year, I’ve been dealing with a narcissistic, toxic neighbour. The building where I currently live is a former tri-level house that has been split into three apartments. The thermostat that controls the temperture for the ENTIRE HOUSE resides in the apartment of the fellow who lives on the main floor. HeContinue reading “Trauma & Triggers”
