Take a look at Washington with me through my eyes, take a peek into my daily life and thoughts.

My Latest Posts

So, I guess I should talk a little bit about myself so you can understand me a little better. Contrary to the title of my post I was born in Anchorage, Alaska. My family moved here when I was young (I have no clue when) and I have been living in Washington for the majority of my life.

No matter how many times I have moved away, I always ALWAYS end up coming back. Out of all the states I have lived, I have never lived anywhere quite like Washington. The Washington I grew up in feels like it was a lifetime ago. I guess it was considering I’m, cough cough, uh older.

I am a mom to 4 wonderful daughters, my 3 oldest are grown adults now and my youngest is living with her grandparents. (I’ll dive into that later on.). I am on my second marriage, and I don’t even know what career change number I am in right now. I currently live in the northern-central puget sound area, and I LOVE/HATE it.

I decided to start this blog because, well I have a bazillion thoughts go through my head at any given time and I figured, what the hell why not share them with random people on the internet. I mean that’s what people do nowadays right?!?!? So here is a look into how my mind works, the random ass thoughts I get, and how I perceive where I live. I hope you enjoy, (those maybe 3 people who MIGHT read this) enjoy.

I was heading to my first ‘job’ for the day and looking around, all i saw was the same homeless people still sleeping on the sidewalks. THey were covered in blankest and tarps, trying to stay warm. I saw the same drug users wiping the sleep from their eyes, taking their first fix of the day. I can’t help but wonder what their lives were like before they ended up where they are today. Did they have families? We’re they successful in their careers? What happened to them? I have so many questions, and no answers.

I think the biggest question I have is what happened to the Washington from my childhood? I remember so much more green, and so fewer homeless. When we were kids we used to be able to just go running around without fear, we never had to worry about someone shooting at us or drinking or eating anything laced with fentanyl. We were able to live fairly carefree.

July 4th, 2023

I loved the 4th of July when i was a kid, stuffing my face with all kinds of delicious food, homemade deserts and endless soda. sitting there watching the dazzling sparkling lights in the sky as rockets shot up and exploded into stars. Ah what marvels as a kid.

Now, the only feelings I have for the 4th is distain. I hate it. Freedom is an illusion. Not to mention I have the biggest scaredy-cat 100+ lb dog that is so terrified of the booms of the fireworks, he will run in circles whining. We have already had to dose him and he is in such a panic that the meds are taking forever to take effect.

I also HATE the fact that there are 6 “adults” in the house. it makes some of the most mundane tasks feel like you are fighting a war. All I wanted to do was take a shower, enjoy the hot water before people show up. But NO, I can’t do that. I have been shoved to the bottom of the ‘shower list’ because ‘other people take faster showers then I. How the FUCK is that fair? This means that I will have to wait again for hot water to warm up, and even then, I wont have that much hot water. An people wonder why I HATE showering.

I am sitting here, pissed waiting for today to already be over, wondering to myself “is it to early to start drinking?” Well the answer to that is yes. Being that I have to work at 5am tomorrow I can not even get a buzz going because of work and I have to find a way to go to bed while everything is still going on, and there will still be people here. The 4th is such a fucking joke.
