S1: Day 124 (124)

When it comes to high school hierarchy, Xandi is at the top. She’s popular with outcasts and loners, troublemakers and goodie-goodies, jocks and nerds. Anyone who doesn’t like her is only saying that because they wish they could be her. Somehow she knows how to navigate the institution that is the educational system for teenagers […]

S1: Day 123 (123)

It’s attack of the allergies in my house this week. I’ve been poking through everything, and trying to deal with the anxiety that is threatening to creep up on me. For the most part, I just feel like I’m treading water, near drowning, and no one is offering to get me onto dry land. I […]

S1: Day 122 (122)

What I’m Reading Wednesday! “Priory of the Orange Tree” – Epic. This book is still on hold. Trying to catch up with other stuff. “Uprooted” – Audio. So far it’s intriguing! “Gideon the Ninth” – Print. Not very far into this one, but I’m not sure if I like it. There’s a lot to sort […]

S1: Day 119 (119)

My blog is kind of all over the place. That’s the conclusion I came to last night. That being said, I don’t feel all too bad about it because that’s what I’m like in a nutshell. If how we present ourselves online is supposed to be a true reflection of our brand, then mine is […]

S1: Day 117 (117)

Where we last left the Cheerleaders… *** Xandi is filled with uncertainty as she gets ready for school the next day. I can tell by the way she rakes her lower lip between her teeth, and how she keeps shaking her head as she mumbles her thoughts to herself. She’s processing, and there is a […]

S1: Day 116 (116)

If there is one theme for the week, it’s that I’m tired. There isn’t much to say beyond that. Some days, I feel as if I’m barely functioning. Other days, I feel like I’m doing fine, but that I’m doing everything wrong. There doesn’t seem to be a happy in-between. This morning at some time […]
