Tell me if this scenario sounds familiar.
You’re an introvert, a person with ADD/ADHD, or in some other way someone who is put out of kilter by too much social stimulation.
You get an invitation to a social activity after work on Monday, let’s say, a party for a coworker who is leaving the company [...]
Well, it feels like it’s time for an update to my “Domestic Disruptions” post.
First, an apparently-necessary public service announcement:
Husbands: Just in case you were wondering, in the event that your parents decide to drop in for a three month visit, no, your wife will NOT be okay with the both of you sleeping on a [...]
I am still in Daytona Beach for work, and this particular morning I have had a little rare “down time” to do some of that “Self Care for Sensitive People” I’ve been talking about lately. I got to watch the sun rise over the ocean, did a little yoga, and had the pool and whirlpool [...]

Did I mention we have a three bedroom, one bath house, and [...]
Since I have apparently taken leave of my senses, I have decided to once again attempt to complete a 50,000 word novel during the month of November. I say “attempt” because thus far, I am 0 for 3 to “win” NaNoWriMo by actually finishing within the allotted timeframe.
So since November is National Novel Writing [...]
I had the nicest little emotional breakdown last week.
