Day 01: Something you’re looking forward to this year.
Day 02: Something you regret not having done last year.
Day 03: Something with which you struggle.
Day 04: Something that is part of your routine that you enjoy.
I don’t really think there’s any part of my routine that I like. Routine bores me. I think that the most enjoyable part of my day is the evening, though. I lay in bed and read at night until I feel sleepy. I can read for a few minutes or a few hours. It all depend on how long it takes me to get sleepy. I enjoy reading, so it makes me happy to be able to be able to spend that quiet time when everyone else is sleeping or in bed at the very least. I love the peace of it.

Feh
Posted February 19th 2012 by tyralynSome days are better than others. Today is one of those less than better days. I don’t feel well, I’m sad, I’m frustrated, I’m sick and I really just want to punch everyone in the face.
So what does one do when they’re in this kind of a mood? This person reads. Books, websites, whatever. Anything that doesn’t require human interaction. Today’s perusing activities, looking at gifts for dad’s anniversary. My father passed away in 1998 I miss him greatly, but sometimes I still look at gifts that he could get for my mother for their anniversary. Some days, I feel like he is still here, which makes it even weirder when I look at things and think about him.
I wish he was still here. I miss him desperately right now and could really use him. I don’t really have anyone else to turn to and it sucks.

College House
Posted February 19th 2012 by tyralynAuthor: Joseph Sandoval
I have three daughters who will all be attending Michigan State at the same time. Our twins are headed into their sophomore year, and our youngest will be a freshman this fall. We are so proud of all of them for getting into a great university, but we are looking for ways to save money. It’s expensive to have the three of them away from home at the same time. My wife and I decided that we could buy a house near the school and they could all live in it together. We think that buying will be cheaper than renting apartments for them, and we will at least have an investment property when they are done with school. I am so glad that they are all close and genuinely excited to live together. We already closed on the house, and now I am looking into michigan home security so I can make sure they have an alarm system set up when they move in. I know they will make a lot of happy memories in that house, and I want to make sure they feel safe and comfortable there.

Good, Bad, Piss Off
Posted February 10th 2012 by tyralynLife is full of good, bad and piss off moments. It’s not really something I feel like expounding on today, though.
I’m kind of tired of a lot of things right now, want a night out, want to hang out with good friends, but I’m starting to question who the real good friends in my life are.
I would love to take a night and go out. Instead, I’ll just sit at home and read about connecticut energy and other random stuff to fill my time.
I’d rather spend time at home than with people who really don’t want me around. It makes me sad to think that people can’t be honest.
Oh well, that’s life, right?
30 Day Challenge: Day 3
Posted February 10th 2012 by tyralynDay 01: Something you’re looking forward to this year.
Day 02: Something you regret not having done last year.
Day 03: Something with which you struggle.
I struggle with my moods. A lot. I struggle to keep from losing my temper, I struggle with depression. I struggle to get out of bed every day because I feel like it’s going to be just the same as the day before I struggle with motivation to make things different. I just plain struggle with life. I’m not quite sure why this is the case, but it’s simply the truth. I struggle with my life. Fortunately, it’s never enough to make me want to end my life, so I’m not as bad off as some people are and I have been able to manage without medication.

Well then…
Posted February 3rd 2012 by tyralynI finally broke down and made an appointment with the pain management doctor. This time, I WILL be going. I was supposed to go in November originally and had to cancel twice. I do hope that the doctor is smart enough to realize that back surgery is not an option for me. I will not risk putting myself in a wheelchair. I would much rather live my life in pain, rather than sit in a chair and not be able to go where I want, do what I want, etc. I couldn’t live that way. I have no idea how anyone could live that way. I give props to those who take that risk.

30 Day Challenge: Day 2
Posted January 31st 2012 by tyralynDay 01: Something you’re looking forward to this year.
Day 02: Something you regret not having done last year.
The only thing that I regret not having done last year is spend more time with friends. I regret that sometimes I feel like I’m on the outside looking in. I know it’s my own fault, but that’s how I feel. I don’t regret things often, but in this case, I do. Perhaps this year will be different. We’ll see.

Shopping Apps
Posted January 30th 2012 by tyralynSo, everywhere you look these days, there are barcodes. It seems like everything has a bar code. I don’t understand why, but it seems like every phone that has apps has a barcode scanner app. I don’t understand what the logic is, especially since we seem to be tethered to our phone far too much. It seems like everyone is on their phone, texting, calling, etc. If we don’t have our phone, we feel lost. I don’t like it.
I do like the idea of shopping apps, though, because of the ability to price compare and stuff is nice. So yeah… dilemma…
30 Day Challenge: Day 1
Posted January 30th 2012 by tyralynDay 01: Something you’re looking forward to this year.
This is the easiest question you can ask me. I am looking forward to the party I’m hosting. This is the first year that I’ve been in a place where I can have people at my home and not be ashamed of how poor the condition was. This is the first time that I have a lot of friends in my life that I want to spend time with. I can finally have a birthday party. So that is what I’m looking forward to that immensely.

Really?
Posted January 24th 2012 by tyralynReally? Is it that hard to read the group descriptions on Facebook? I mean, there are a ton of rummage sale groups, but come on, why are we posting things like tables, chairs and even a Pool Cover on a CLOTHING rummage sale group! Seriously? I don’t get how hard it is to distinguish what you’re posting where. I’m sure I’m going to get blasted now, but oh well. I was asked to keep the group from going nuts, and that’s part of it. Clothing means clothing to me.
I give up on other people’s logic. I really do. They do not make any sort of sense.
