Let's Talk; January 8 2025

Hey, 2025. I’m sitting you down sternly, but not with anger. We’re just talking. We’re being friends, right now.

I’m open to change. Change can be good. But I especially want just that – good change. Positive impacts. That whole thing. So, like… while you’re making changes, 2025, can you maybe do something about the wars, the threats coming from the United States, things like that?

Thanks, hugs and kisses,

Red.

I’m not doing too badly personally this week, but my paranoia sure is being tested. I’m looking to go back to a psychiatrist to manage my medications, deal with the PTSD haze I’ve been in since Christmas – because that’s a thing, I didn’t realize why I was feeling so Off until meeting with my doctor. Of course it’s the SWAT PTSD again. Guess that’s just a lifelong issue I’m going to be dealing with.

Of course, I hope it won’t be, but I don’t foresee the worry just evaporating.

Anyway. Some of the good things lately:

My kid’s lost two of her teeth!

I’ve gotten paperwork in order for academic accommodations – I’m gearing up for school come September!

My blood sugar isn’t crazy high the way I worried it would be! I’m still adjusting to diabetic life but it’s working!

Some more of my work is in tangible print! I received a magazine and anthology that I contributed to, and I love them!

So come on, 2025. Keep the good things rolling in. Make it easier to remember the positives.
