More human than human!
I, the MoodyMeow, am no longer a snotmonster. My breathing doesn’t sound like it’s being performed under duress, deep within a cavern of phlegm. My eyes don’t have dark luggage to carry. The cough, although still present, sounds raspy rather than earth-shattering. My lips are still chapped, as is my nose (dude….tissue paper seriously hurts), [...]
Stolen from Claire
I’m still hopped up on cold meds. D and I went to bed @ 7 last night. The fever returned. I whined. I woke this morning and was theeees —><—- close to calling in again. After my shower, swathed in a towel, I sat on the bed and stared at the floor. D’s call jarred [...]
When the past comes to call
My former stepmother e-mailed me again. This time she found my personal e-mail. I’m livid. While I understand that I’ve made a presence (albeit a small one) on the web, and that all of my moodymeow stuff is public access, I don’t think it was an invitation for her to e-mail me. What creeps me [...]
Where is time?
This whole working full-time thing, while GREAT for offering me structure, is shite for my blogging and writing life. I can’t pluck out enough minutes in the day to get a full thought going. At least we have paychecks coming. I think my weekends will be dedicated writing time. If I can crank it out [...]

There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
I’m doing homework…really
So, I’m taking a break from scrambling my brain and I came across this article about having a green christmas. D and I don’t celebrate Xxxmas, at least not in the traditional way. I’m soooo not christian, and D is .. well he’s D. I decided that I do want lights this year. They seem [...]
Where I tell the truth
I’m out of meds, and as of a few weeks ago, I haven’t had anything in my system. I try to go to sleep with Benadryl and a beer (or three) and I end up fighting my brain until 6 in the morning, when exhausted, I finally fall asleep to the sound of hectic traffic. [...]
Tricksy Winds
It’s been cool here and some of the trees have started to take on the colors of fall. I love Portland. It’s supposed to get “hot” here tomorrow. All of 85…. god, I don’t miss Florida weather. *edit..they updated the weather. It’s going to be 90. I think Frankie cursed us. I’ll get him back* [...]
Observations before I sleep
Change is good, and I will be the first to admit that. Moving to Portland was one of the best things we could have done for ourselves, but it throws into sharp relief that which will not be done. I’m craptastic about phonecalls (e-mail people!!), and I know I owe you all a few. It’s [...]
One more night I should be writing
I planned on getting a chunk of my writing done today, but last night I had a manic snap…and it lasted until I went to bed sometime after 6 this morning. I figured after dawn hit that I should try to sleep. It didn’t work out well, but because I’m all kinds of sparky right [...]
Planting Onions
Sometimes I’m just odd. For weeks, two onions grew long, pale leaves, and they were growing said greenery in my vegetable drawer in the fridge. I didn’t want to throw them away. After all, they were mighty pretty. So, when in doubt – call Mom. She told me to pot them and when they’ve established [...]
A Woman’s Words
D linked me to this article (or blog postish type thingy) by Joss Wheadon – of Firefly fame (yes, I know he did Buffy and that other thing, but I loved Firefly…and it’s my blog — so nah!). Read the whole thing. I don’t know why I am endlessly surprised by men who really respect [...]
Playing Ketchup — this will not be edited
Wednesday – My final final, Botany. Again, I believe that Dr. Grey screwed us. I studied the list of topics, made note cards, poured over maps and formulas and all that other nonsense. I packed my brain full of stuff, and when the test came, I almost threw something. He included information from throughout the [...]
Take a moment
Find something small to see – a window ledge, a flower, the way the light falls through the screen onto the textures of the table in the living room. Look, closely. What do you feel? That pink in the window is the brightness of my home, and that texture, the thread of my life. I [...]
Because… she is proud of me
I had my last visit with the shrink. She seemed startled to see me, perhaps she didn’t recognize my name on the chart. The tattoo usually a good reminder We talked about why I hadn’t been back in so long, and where I am with my meds and my health. I honestly forgot to call [...]
From the green
I bought my plane tickets for Seton Hill, and applied for Financial Aid. I even rented a car. . It cost more for the car than the flight. How fucked up is that? It’s more expensive to fart around PA for five days than to fly up there? That’s just obscene. I get back home [...]
My Florida
**this is unedited. Sorry for the clunky writing** Little creatures swirl around your pillow while you sleep. They stuff cotton in your open mouth, and giggle when you choke on your dreams. With the edges of your paranoia, they tickle your toes and the soft spot on the back of your knee. They giggle when [...]
Mental health problems
I have a mental illness. I am manic depressive. And when it comes to coverage by my insurance company, if I have a full-on breakdown and require hospitalization, I will get only 10 days of paid in-facility treatment in my lifetime. Ten days, kids. When I had a staph infection, I was in the hospital [...]
Less than quiet
The drama from last weeks seems to have settled down. I get very uneasy when people get overly intrusive. People know I can get mean, and if I feel the least bit cornered, I’m not much of a nice person. The sad thing is that I honestly believed that everyone knew the limits of time [...]
With guns and money
He left her a note on the bed. I have to go. Have a good life. Don’t look for me. He told me stories about his past. He used to slam down shots of whiskey before working in the mines in Kentucky. Just a paycheck away from being homeless, he always had cash for the [...]
