I had a pill... Or 8... Or was it 11? Who knows at one time I was so doped up, all I can remember is eating a blanket and drooling on my homework. That sucks. That really sucks.

Yep, it does. I went for many, many years with certain things locked away. When I had a catestrophic medical incident I had a lot of things on top of a lot of things to deal with & no room left to lock any of it away. It's in it's proper place.
That got waaaaay too deep. There is more than one kind of battle. But we win.

My Aegis arrived this morning. I requested the black, got the yellow instead. But I kinda dig it paired with my yellow glass Mage. :)
HG doesn't waste much time getting their contest prizes shipped.
Just updated to latest firmware, will be testing the TC later.
Oh! Shiney! I'm reaching for it but can't quite get there! Why is it we automatically try to touch & examine anything we see that we like? I think the stitching is very cool! Congrats! Great score!

When I had a catestrophic medical incident I had a lot of things on top of a lot of things to deal with & no room left to lock any of it away until I could handle it. It was all right now issues. I had to take the time, & gather the mental & emotional wherewithall to clean out the closet, face things I'd been avoiding, analyze things, call a spade a spade instead of not calling it something easier to handle, & get them in their proper place. In the past, not in the now. It has not been easy since part of it involves a relationship that is still a part of my daily life. But it no longer controls any part of my life. Not that it doesn't try, but now it's just a consideration. It's in it's proper place. Calling a spade a spade involved using & personally applying a word I had gone to great lengths to avoid thinking, much less using. I wasn't removed. I wasn't simply taken. I was kidnapped. I was held against my will for 2 1/2 years. In great fear, not just for my life, but the lives of everyone I loved, including my child. I was forced to marry my kidnapper. He's not my "2nd husband that doesn't count". But I got away. That's the very important part. There was more to it that I had to deal with. Part of which I live with & care for everyday. Which has also been put into it's proper place because crazy can't help being crazy, but I don't have to figure out a way to get crazy to admit being crazy.
That got waaaaay too deep, but the fact I was able to express it & even get it out is a huge step. There is more than one kind of battle. But we win.

Yes. Crazy is as crazy does. And we all just gotta lick those windows from time to time to get the taste of Xanax, vistaril, Lexapro, etc out of our mouths. Hang in there though. We fight until the last shot is fired, our last breath is drawn, and the last drop of sweat and blood is spilled. Because why? Because we have to.

It's not "deep", it's good to vent it out sometime. Even I know that. Believe me, I vent it out 2x a month, every month, for the rest of my life. It keeps the demons at Bay. I also work my fingers to nubs. Keeps me from using them to do the devil's work.

    My deepest respect and admiration for both of you. Some have it much more tougher than others. It's not a choice. :wub:

    I made it a choice. I choose to live my life. Not let anyone else change that. I win.

    I was referring to specific issues we are sometimes faced with, that we didn't have a choice in. I respect and admire your choice to LIVE, in spite of it all. That IS a win!! :wub:

    We press on. Everyday we refuse to lay down, it's a win. We could just as easily submit to our issues. But, what fun is that? I like poking fun at myself. I like making jokes about my situations and circumstances. Even though they're somewhat serious, if you can't laugh about them, you essentially give them power.

    Choices all around. Not having a choice because someone else made a choice to steal it, or to simply inflict their choice & disregard or block yours. And for some, choice just is not an available option. That is the hardest, no doubt. But we are not responsible for choices someone else made when we had no say in it, but were just stuck with it. I find relief in knowing my choice would have been different. That is a relief.

    Dude. I've got 500 ft of 28g SS, & another 200 ft of 28g & 30g kanthal . No more wire, please. I am dyscalculic, I can only go so far with numbers & calculations & retaining any of what I do comprehend. One step further & it all dissolves as if it just fades into blah blah. It goes like this:

    Lol! I'm curious about Black Rifle Coffee Co. Ivd like to try some of their coffees to support what they did & do. Their YT videos are just hilarious. My nephew drinks their coffee.

    Speaking of kawvees, I always hold back enough of Mark's kawvees for 1 or 2 more cups. I surprise myself with a cup of one of them on days when I'm worn out from errands, Dr's, or Mom stuff & need a special treat. I've had a cup everyday for the last 4 days because I have the new Cardio Dr appt tomorrow. So lots of treats as I get everything done. I'm kinda OCD when I have to go to an appt like this. I went to the Dr in 2010 & she sent me straight to the hospital. I didn't get home for 2 months. Ended up with my bank acct closed, vehicle insurance cancelled, & my job of 10 years gone. I became disabled & had to retire. What a shock! Imma be ready this time.

    It's also pretty good. I used to order from both BRCC and DEATH WISH. I like Death Wish Coffee better. Just because of the beans they use.
