My introduction

Hey, welcome to my twisted since of self. As I mentioned on my about me page, my name is Dustie, I live in a small rural area in Southern Ohio. The purpose of my page is to hopefully help others in their everyday life of dealing with some form of mental "illness". I put the illness in parentheses, because I don't see it as an illness, an illness to me, is like the flu, pneumonia or a HORRIBLE cold. I have a mental issue, an issue I choose not to be medicated over, that is a personal preference. Yes, I've been on meds, celexa, lexapro, zoloft, and I think that's it *insert thinking emoji here* . I don't like feeling like I'm in a walking haze, again, personal preference. I will ramble on & on, that's what I do, and again, like mentioned on my welcome/home page, I am grammatically challenged, so please, don't contact me over my grammar, or lack of, I am aware of it, thank you :) That's why I said it to begin with on the main page. Anyway, t

OH Dang.. been TOO long...

 What to enlighten y'all about.  Still going strong, unmedicated for the most part, had to get a low dose anxiety pill this past November.  My anxiety got WAY out of hand, i had to start taking pepcid for the upset of my stomach.  It has helped a lot, it's just 5mg, very low, 2x a day, my doctor is very understanding, about how I feel about taking medications.  Actually, both my PC & GYN is very understanding about my feelings on excessive medications, that's part of what's wrong with the medical system, is a continued reliance on man made medications. That have more side effects than using medicinal options, they get paid for the pills they prescribe in some fashion. I go medicinal as much as i can, i take vitamin C & potassium, for help with my immune system & muscle health. I was able to get my hysterotomy December 2021, after dealing with loads of issues for the last 23 years, my GYN was gracious to listen to my request to leave my ovaries, so i would ha

too long....

 I just realized i have not done this for... well too long .. why  i have a hard time doing this daily.  Even though i have a reminder set .. being an empath is a huge energy consumer..  I feel EVERYTHING around me, that is put out there by my workmates, friends & my immediate family.  Therefore, i find it VERY overwhelming to do this very thing i'm doing right now. While I sit here at work, with not much to do this afternoon. The global crisis is still very much in full swing, though vaccines have been produced & distributed around the world.  You have those who want to be negative ninnies about everything. And i won't even get into the political aspect of the U.S., jeez.  This is the kinds of things i feel greatly, the negative energy of the world can be quite overwhelming, those who do not feel it, do not fully understand.  Those who put the energy out in the air, sometimes, do not realize they are a hindrance with their negative ninny attitude.  I'm trying to ge

alrighty then..

So, here we are, just had the Thanksgiving holiday, not too terrible. Was supposed to go to Massachusetts, but of course, in the midst of this lovely crisis, which has a 99.97% survival rate, we wasn't able to do so. Yeah, we face a pandemic every year during flu season, yet, we don't shut down the entire country. Anywho.. So, onto a different topic.. that's right, twofer .. bahahaha. I bought some bath bomb supplies back in the spring, procrastinated what exactly I was going to do, so I'm going to start making them, sell them, as a side hustle. It's a simple recipe for .bath bombs, everyday cooking items mostly, other than the essential oils used to make them smell pretty & the citric acid, which helps create the fizz. I have no grandeur idea, I'm going to make a crap ton of money, would I like to have a sense of humor about it, yes. I just want to try my creative skills in the idea, I would also like to learn the art of soap making. I'm actually quite

Back to School

Well, the kids have started back to school here locally. You have the option of online or in class instruction. We opted for in class, our youngest is in kindergarten this year, your first 4 years in school, K-3rd grade are your crucial learning year's. If you can send your children to school, do it, they need that interaction, if health issues prevent that I completely understand, but send your kids to school. This illness will not be curbed until a vaccine is finally developed & distributed. We all must watch out for ourselves, wear a mask if you are out. You could be asymptomatic & carry this virus, we had asymptomatic employees at one of our locations. And for those who think this is all fake .. you're a Damned fool .. 

Pandemic 2020

That's the best thing to call this entry, i haven't blogged for almost 2 months.  The WHOLE world is having issues beating back the Coronavirus (Covid-19) outbreak.  The world wide economies shut down for 3 months, so are still struggling to open or remain open.  The cases here in the US are growing again, people think since we can open the economy back up, that means, hit the beaches & go on vacations all willy nilly.. more people are/have been/being tested, which also increases cases throughout.  Then there's the demonstrations for basic human right. it's enough to give me a headache ... it's overwhelming & heartbreaking ...

how goes things ...

Things are going, we had birthday party this past weekend. We've been fortunate enough to have worked majority of the quarantine stay-at-home order, we've also been fortunate that my mum has helped a great deal with keeping our youngest while we work. I do my best to give her things and tell her thank you a lot, cause she has been a huge help. Still figuring out this OnePlus phone I got a few weeks ago.. not having a headphone jack is not to terribly bad, just can't use my tiny earbuds for talking lol. Which means I need another headset for that option. Oh, cut my hair lol feels better, just not easily kept off the back of my neck ðŸĪŠ so, bandana day today, as I write this. I did read something the yesterday on Twitter, let me see if I can remember it. The things I do, I started this on the 25th & I'm just going to publish it as it sits lol and not sure what the Twitter reference is ðŸĪ·ðŸž‍♀️ sorry .. 💚💜

new phone

So, I switched from a Samsung phone to a OnePlus.. the biggest adjust, not having the buttons at the bottom of the screen.. otherwise, nice phone.. we shall see how well it does over the next few years lol
