I got a new computer. I will go see if my mac can be fixed. However, it seems to be a problem with the keyboard getting wet. And I believe that happened when I did a post at the beach. But I have a good alternative and it will at least get me through this…

Brain Injury Awareness Day
06/29/2019 Brain Injuries are the worst sort of injuries. Why? Because unlike broken bones, there is no full medical test you can do to actually be diagnosed with one. Basically symptoms and ruling things out become crucial to understand if you are suffering from a brain injury. Not only that, when you…
Shaky Mental Health
***WARNING: SENSITIVE CONTENT/IMAGES. VIEW WITH CAUTION. 11/06/2019-Ongoing These past two or so weeks have been tough. And honestly, I have no idea why. I am thinking either I am just extremely exhausted (Working 40 hours a week, school ending etc). Another thing is, I haven’t skated in over a week because of the injection procedure. So…
Flaring during Exams
These past few days I have been completing mid-terms and finals for two different classes (with a third class about to start). However, my body has also been flaring. There has been some unbearable body pain (that has been getting better over the past few days). A few days ago it hurt just to sit…
Long day at the Hospital
May 27th, 2019 – I went to a hospital, one where I am being followed by several doctors. Today’s appointment was the rheumatology clinic. My appointment was around 2:30, the doctor was slightly late, nothing later then 10 minutes. But out of all the times he has been on time or early this was nowhere…
Chronic Exhaustion
So these past few days I have been dying of exhaustion. Like I don’t think it is possible to be any more tired then I already am. Now here is the thing. There is one problem. NOTHING HAS CHANGED. My schedule has remained roughly the same. Maybe a few changes here and there but nothing…

Insomniac Zombie
Good Evening…or Morning…? So it is close to 1am and I am still nowhere near sleepy. Instead, I feel like I’ve been hit with a frying pan and slowly becoming a zombie. This is the second night IN A ROW… I have been suffering from insomnia. While last night I wasn’t doing much. Instead…
Drained.
So, I have been drained lately. If you read my previous post (Bursting Sponge) you would know. I don’t know why that is. It could easily be the pain taking a toll of my body. Or finals approaching. Schedule changes. Even a mixture of all the above. There is one thing that has caught…
End of Season
It has been over a full week since I ended my 2018-2019 Figure Skating year. This was also my 20th season on the ice. As you all remember last season was a disappointment after coming off from a season high the year before. Well, this season didn’t start off so good. And to be honest…
Blindsided by a Nagging Injury
Why yes, it has been forever since I have updated. Basically since the site showed my last school assignment. While I hope you all can forgive me, I still feel like I have to give an explanation about my whereabouts. While, I am not comfortable and/or ready to get into the details about this injury….
