A few years ago my brother and his kids moved back into the house with us. I felt bad for my nieces and nephews, because their mom left them, and their grandma (my mom) left them. They were missing out on some of the things I remembered growing up enjoying. Like baking Halloween cookies. So, I looked up some recipes and we started baking. The...

Friend I haven't seen in a while gave me this.
No cream, no sugar, just the nectar of the gods.
So, I've gotten to see a friend of mine for the first time in a couple years. He's got a wife and two kids, and doesn't get out much anymore. We still talk all the time, just don't get to hang out much. It was

Holy shit. So, I've talked about this before. But goddamn... in about 6 months time, I'm a good 60 pounds lighter. I don't think I ever actually believed I was capable of losing that much weight. I always figured I'd die weighing over 300 pounds. One hell of a milestone, don't you think? Of course I intend to continue. Why stop here? Right?
And yeah,...

Okay, trying to keep this polite. It seems the... individual in charge of the writing challenge I mentioned before has silently extended the voting and added me to the choices. They didn't tell anybody, it just kind of happened. Thank you @badabigail for letting me know. You've seriously been so great about this situation.
*cough* That being said... I'd really appreciate it if anyone who...

So, I guess I pissed someone off or something. I don't know. It just feels like this site hates me. I've tried participating in different community events. It never goes well. But this time, write a scary story. Hey, I can do that. Submit before the deadline, within the word limit, check. Voting started Friday. I click the link to see what's up, annnnd... I'm...

I was tagged by @libris for this little bit of Halloween fun.
Sweet or sour: Definitely sour, but I didn’t mind sweet. (I can’t really eat these sorts of snacks anymore)
Trick or Treat: We talking giving, or receiving? I’d rather give treats, but I’m okay with receiving tricks.
Witches or Vampires: I’ve actually been curious about learning about witchcraft and that sort of thing,...

So, I realize that most people say that you need to allow yourself a cheat day every so often when trying to lose weight. I did this yesterday because we were all sitting around talking last night, and they wanted snacks. I gave in to my weakness and had some too. I know that people say this is okay, maybe even good to do from...

So, for the last couple of days, maybe a week or so, I've been feeling odd. I've been disproportionately angry... upset? I don't know the exact feeling, but it's directed towards my brother. He hasn't done anything too bad to warrant any kind of anger or whatever. But I've been feeling it pretty strongly. The last couple of days, yesterday and today, I was talking...

Been feeling pretty down lately. I know, big surprise. Went into the weekend feeling like crap. I'm letting things get to me that I shouldn't be. Again.
But then I got an unexpected call. Who's on the line? My best friend, telling me that he's in town for the weekend and wants to hang out. Known him for around 15 years now. He's family, really....

Okay, first I lost sweets because anxiety and trying to get healthier. Sad, but manageable.
Then, I lost nicotine, because I can't afford anymore vape. Which sucks... a lot. I enjoyed my vaping, it was a nice vice. But again, I'm okay without it.
But yesterday... fucking yesterday... my goddamn coffee maker stopped working. Now the universe is trying to take my caffeine and coffee...

Has it really only been five months? I started trying to improve my health because I was finally starting to feel the weight effecting me on a day to day level. I was somewhere around 290 pounds (probably higher), so it was definitely well past time to get off my ass and do something about it.
It was going fairly well until this last month....

So... I freaking love this game. When I first heard about it, I knew I was going to want to play. But, I'm broke as hell, so I didn't expect to be able to play it. Thankfully, my brother surprised me by getting it for me.
And, it's everything I hoped for and more. The fact that there's a dedicated meow button is amazing. They...
