i just keep getting older....

seriously? i dont know what happened today, but im sitting in my room, just thinking....not on the phone, or on my computer, just sitting in silence thinking about the past few month, past few weeks,  replaying today in my head, thinking about the future, just everything that my brain doesnt ever stop thinking about. im always thinking, always planning, always wondering, but just because im thinking doesnt mean that im actually processing.  but today i let it sink in,  it dawned on me, hit my like a ton of bricks falling from the sky....I'm going to be TWENTY SEVEN this year! OMG! Really? 27? I do not feel twenty seven. Like, I'm suppose to be a real adult. I should feel like an adult right? and thats what boggles my mind because I dont know what it feels like to feel like an adult. I see people that are only a year to couple years younger than me, they are married, have families, have houses, a dog, a cat and children! Im going to be 27 and I barely have any of that. i have dog, pretty sure im going to live with my parents till im 30+, and the only real thing of value that i own, is my iphone. i sleep, i eat, i sometimes go to class and i go to work. that is my life. like i want to someday have a house of my own, be a good wife to someone, cook well burnt meals, have children and hopefully raise them to NOT be anything like myself...one day. but then i think, one day? maricel, youre 27....one day is going to be ten years from now! and in ten years im going to be EVEN older! omg i dont even want to think about. but then again, im not old....but im not young either. see where im headed with this? in a circle full of confusion. eck! it makes me laugh because i remember thinking when i was 21, what would i be like when im 30? we'll its getting closer and ill soon find out.

today i got off work a few mins early and i just decided to leave. i didnt txt anyone, i didnt call anyone...my goal was to miss traffic and get home before 6p. well an hour and half later im home. walk my dog, enjoy the weather, give my puppy some attention and get a little exercise in before the night is over. plus, the minute i walk into my room, i know im not going to do anything else but sit down. im so exhausted today for some reason. being a woman really sucks sometimes. and yes im a typical woman who has that time of the month where i get cranky moody emotional and everything else in-between. in these times of hormonal confusion my mind is just all over the place.

Cultivating relationships

Maintaining relationships demands effort; it's a mutual journey. Each party contributes, and amidst this exchange, bonds form—be it friendships or deeper connections. Some relationships necessitate more investment; sometimes, it feels like you're carrying the weight alone, striving to sustain the connection. Personally, I've struggled with nurturing friendships; perhaps due to youthful ignorance, where life felt boundless, consequences seemed distant, and self-centeredness prevailed. As age brings maturity, many friendships naturally drift away amid life's chaos and the challenges of adulthood. Reflecting on my past interactions often astonishes me; how did I manage any healthy relationships back then? Truthfully, I didn't. Those who I once considered friends, or who considered me as such, have vanished, leaving behind only fragmented memories—thanks, memory loss. Although forgetfulness might seem a blessing, the impressions we leave behind persist. This notion unne...

Made it into 2025 injury-free—well, mostly! 😆 Besides the usual aches and pains (and that one time I threw my back out, but we’re not counting that—that’s just seasoned wisdom kicking in). On the bright side, my diabetes is well under control! My latest doctor’s appointment went great—numbers are low, bloodwork looks good, and I just need to keep moving forward. Meanwhile, the hubby is down with the flu, so he’s quarantined in the bedroom while I’ve taken over the couch. Work has been hectic. We’ve been short a recruiter, which means more work on my plate. We finally hired someone new, but she’s still in training. She seems nice—quieter than the rest of us, but then again, our little group is a bit on the weird side. On the fun side, I got a new tattoo—matching with my bestie! 💉✨ And now, I’m seriously considering a septum piercing. Call it a midlife crisis if you want, but I say, why not do it while I still can? I haven’t spent much time at the barn this year. Then again, t...

I’m really struggling with watching my parents grow older. My mom’s memory has declined a lot, and walking has become difficult for her. She’s not active anymore—she mostly stays at home, only doing small chores around the house. She has very little motivation to do anything beyond that. My dad takes care of so much for her, and I try to keep her going by spending time with her, but our conversations feel so different now. As for my dad, his health is okay—not great, but manageable. I’ve mentioned before how hard it is to watch him face the physical limitations that come with age. He’s always been the kind of dad who could do it all—fix anything, carry anything, help with anything. He’s been my rock, always there to support me. I don’t think he ever imagined he’d still be helping his 40-year-old daughter with Jeep mods—but knowing him, I’m sure he secretly loves it. My dad and I are both facing new health challenges right now. I’m scared—but thankfully, mine isn’t life-threatening, as...
