Cultural Explosion - The DVD Depression

In The Future…

Today, was the third time this week that I stayed home from work. I am not able to do much of anything except sleep and drag my laptop into bed with me, to watch a movie. Even writing this little post is taking up a lot of effort!

My No TV Week

I made it! No television for an entire week.  Not only did I survive, I flourished!  So what did I do, with this extra time? First of all, since I don’t watch a tremendous amount of television to begin with, I didn’t think that I would have a whole lot of […]

Trigger happy?

More often than anything else, the scent of vanilla will start a CFS crash (for me). More than stress, food reactions, overdoing the fun. Anything! I would rather smell a wet dog, than vanilla.
Tonight, I went on my weekly trip to my geeky movie theater. I was all settled into my […]

Snap out of it

How many times, have you heard those words, “snap out of it, already” and known there was nothing you can do. After a completely horrifying day yesterday, followed up by a morning and afternoon of reading extremely supportive comments from wonderful people. I have decided that I absolutely can “snap out of it”.
