Crazy Socks & Writer's Block

Week 22 So, I have a thing about moths. I hate them. A lot. And when I was a kid my sister and I would go through deep manuevers to go wake our poor mom up to come and kill them, but they'd always disappear, only to come back out the second she left. Since I live on my own, whenever there's a moth either Sammy or I have to kill it. Sammy has tried, but has need successfully killed a moth, having not had to witness years of how it's done. My favorite memory is when we were very first married and there was a moth, and at one point he started spraying it with his cologne to 'try and suffocate it with the fumes like bug spray' as he put it. Every time I would end up taking the swatter from him and then killing those moths in a rage.  We had one in our apartment this week sitting in Sammy's shoes, who then went to the ceiling. The ceilings are pretty high, and I was exhausted after work. Sammy grabbed our Swiffer and then smashed the moth in one try. I was s...

Sammy and I were listening in on a broadcast for the youth at church where they were asked to go on a social media fast for a week. While this was directed at people 12-18, Sammy and I both looked at each other and said that we wanted to do it. It was the last week before the LSAT and he really needed to study, along with our anniversary. I've noticed over the past few months that I've spent more and more time scrolling on social media, instead of getting things done. Every night instead of writing or reading a book, I'd just keep hitting the refresh button over and over. This fast was something we both were excited about. We handed our phones over, changed the passwords, and deleted the apps.  That first night was weird when we were going to bed. Instead of scrolling through everything one last time, and Sammy catching up on Twitter while playing with my hair, we put both of our phones down and just spent some time together. I slept better that night than I have in a...

Week 20  My brother graduated high school and I wasn't as worried about his ceremony as my sister's since it was closer to home. There was a lot of walking involved and they didn't have the stadium opened when we first got there, so we had to wait outside in the 80 degree heat. They also didn't allow any purses in the stadium, so we had to put all of our things in a clear bag. Since it was so hot out, I was hungrier than usual and started panicking about my snack supply. I had no idea how long this was going to go, and I didn't want to pass out. The things I was told to avoid were heat, low blood sugar, and getting dehydrated and I was at risk of two of those.  The stadium did not have any air conditioning going for a bit and was so hot. Plus, we still had a good hour to wait until the event started. I really started panicking in my seat, so I went to go get some more food to see if walking around would help. I was winded after walking up the stairs though ...
