I was sitting, well, actually, more like getting ready to head out to one of my many redundant doctors appointments this morning, listing to a podcast story with perhaps only 1/10 of the attention necessary to absorb. It begins with a background retelling of a historical incident within a family. About how someone who had been falsely accused of stealing a treasured family heirloom piece of…

On Wednesday, January 28th, 2026 I had to do one of the hardest thing I will ever have to do. I had to let you go. I had to figure out how to be okay with letting them stop all life support. To let your body shut down the rest of the way, to free whatever is left of you that is struggling for existence. There was so much damage there wasn’t anything to work with. To all the people who I have…

Narcissism? Really? It sounds extreme, but while researching self-worth, narcissistic tendencies kept appearing in my searches. I know what narcissism looks like. I grew up with two self-absorbed parents back in the 1970s and 80s during the time when it seemed that every adult in the room checked out to find themselves: one was MIA, and the other spent years fawning over husband number 2 and…

Hello, my name is Kris. I have Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis. I have MS and 3 other auto immune diseases, Breast Cancer Survivor, and I am going to be okay. You will be too! We might communicate differently, behave differently or look different to you but we are a lot more like you than not like you. Please don’t make disability the tragedy that it is not. I am still growing my Ebay…

“Survival Mode”, that’s exactly what my therapist said to me a few weeks back while sitting there reviewing a few worksheets she had sent me home to work on. Those pages in plain black and white which seemed innocent enough until I had to force myself to sit down and actually answer each question. To begin, they were just quick, short responses, trying to move on so I could return to my regularly…

For today, stand in front of a mirror and tell yourself, “I am enough!” Try to not allow the nagging voices run through your mind of the million things left not done. “I am enough!” Do not allow the voices past and present to weigh you down. “You are enough!” Stop allowing people who are not involved in your life, your care, your struggles to repeatedly ask “Why did you?” or “Why didn’t…

As I sit here glaring at the text from my daughter’s dad at 9:38 AM, simply asking if I was awake, along with my reply of the one word response, “yes”, in the middle of taking pictures of items that are slated for listing today and this week on Ebay. Then to see just 5 minutes later, a missed call from him. Missed because I have the ringer off. I have most all notifications turned off because I…

Until what? I feel better. I get the laundry done. Clean up the kitchen. Take care of whatever it is I need to do for someone else. Get pictures done. Get them edited. Make the listings. Product research and comparison. Ship everything, rinse and repeat. Until I figure out how to get everything straight, a real roof over our heads finally. Until someone finally takes a chance and hires me. Fix…

I have been trying to wrap my mind around these past few weeks. So, so many crazy and awful things have happened. You might be thinking “but Kris, crazy awful things happen every week, daily in fact, what is so different now?”. Good question! So what is the difference? Technically none. It’s just more poignant. More obvious, in your face and we can continue to pretend that this is okay or we can…

Really. I’m not. I want any one reading this to know I’m trying, I haven’t given up…yet ..but…. Let’s talk (continue below) So where do I begin? Ah yes, to start, let’s begin with a tough subject. I want to explicitly state that I am not suicidal. Tempting as it may be to run the truck off a bridge, I won’t. But on the flip side, I am just done. Shortly, when my youngest is grown, there are…

Once again after spending the better part of 3 days convincing my husband that no, I did not say I was right, I didn’t say that what I was thinking the totally correct, but in fact given the nature of the situation, plus information I was given from someone else, then additional research I did online, what I was saying, was that I am worried that a mistake was made. A mistake by the way that…
