I do my best thinking when I’m walking or running. Today was no different. Today’s mental topic: Finding a new normal. So…here’s the basis of the conclusion I came to: If recreating yourself was a sport, I’d have the Olympic Gold. I am AMAZING at reinventing myself. 10 years old, world crashes. Time to makeContinue reading “Sheri v8.8 Available”

I just had to have this conversation with yet another adult, so I’m writing about it now. The “Bad”, “Annoying”, “Irritating”, <insert other adjectives here> child. We’ve all met those kids…the ones that always seem to be causing a little more trouble…being a little more rambunctious…crying more…whining more…arguing more…hiding more…whatever it is about them thatContinue reading “The “Bad” Child”

I…am a perfectionist. I know…I know…you’re wearing your shocked faces right now. “*gasp* No way! Not Sheri! She seems so easy on herself…chill and unmotivated!!” Oh…wait…none of you are doing that? Hmph. Ok, fine. No one is surprised by this. I am an all or…well…all person. I never shy away from challenges and will tryContinue reading “Meet You In The Middle”

Blog Preface: My jokes are meant to be lighthearted fun. Not jabs at anyone in particular. There are so many ways that I want to start this. So, I’m going to outline a few key points and then we’ll jump right in. I can breathe again and I’m ready to rejoin the world a littleContinue reading “I Can Breathe Again (AKA Fake News) (Aka *mfing jazz hands, beetches*)”

I…am a penguin. Seriously. I learned something in a science class a few years ago. Penguins LOOK very social. You always see pictures of tons of penguins hanging out all in one place. However, if you go to an aerial view…They don’t touch.. They’re all keeping their personal space. I literally sat in that classContinue reading “The Anxious Penguin”

So, we’re going to play a little game called, “Sheri is probably about to find out REAL fast which ones of her friends are reading her blog…”. (You guys…don’t shoot me…it’s a good thing…and I promise that I’m not getting back with the Sponge…) I did a thing today. I’ve been harboring A LOT ofContinue reading “Forgiveness”

So, lately this has become my diary more than a blog to be shared. Which is fine. It’s nice that some people still choose to read it…I don’t know who you are, but I appreciate knowing that I’m not totally alone. But…I wanted this blog to be fun…funny…sometimes serious, but in a good way. Instead,Continue reading “..”

I tried to leave my house today. I wound up hyperventilating and in tears. The more I have to write about my past for therapy…the more it dredges up the memories of all the times that people left…the more I remember that no one wants me around for the long haul and even those whoContinue reading “.”

If you know me, you probably know about spoons. If you don’t know me…or don’t know about the Spoon Theory… seriously, it is the BEST THING EVER for explaining what it’s like to live with a chronic illness. So… here you go…and you’re welcome… https://butyoudontlooksick.com/articles/written-by-christine/the-spoon-theory/ But, for those who don’t want to read, basically theContinue reading “Spoons”

Today is a rough day. I haven’t felt well for days, I’m feeling a bit hopeless about the future, I’m feeling like people are better off without me around…I’m JUST close enough to the bottom to feel all the pain, but JUST high enough off the ground to decide that that’s the best time toContinue reading “Turning on the Light”
