The One With Dating After Divorce

 Have you been talked into going on a date or a dating app?  I have and it definitely sent me down a dark road so to speak. 

I already had enough “issues” on my own but then going on actual dates just seemed like way too much pressure for something serious that I was not ready for, nor did I want. 

Take more time for yourself with nothing and nobody to distract you or blur your vision so to speak.

You need to heal and respect yourself and be there for your children and their emotions before bringing someone new into your lives.  

If it’s the “right” person, they’ll wait until you’re ready, be supportive and understanding- not give you a guilt trip or tell you how you should feel as so many mansplained to me.  

Keep your head up and trust your gut.

Dating Comment ME if you are not interested in dating at this point either.

The One Where Everyone Had a Choice

I’m sure I’ll get hate for this, but it’s the truth. I didn’t judge others for making their own personal choice, but they sure as heck judged ME and anyone who didn’t agree with them. I’m honestly starting to get more and more frustrated being four years out from when people had to choose between their jobs and the sh0t…. Saying that you “were forced” to get it truly isn’t accurate. We all had a choice. I’m a nurse. I’m also a single mom of two. I left my career to stand up for what I believe in. I’m not judging you for making the choice that you felt was best for you and your family based on information you had at the time… Even though many of YOU judged people like me for “not complying”. You possibly even called me a conspiracy theorist and told me that if I didn’t get it, I shouldn’t be a nurse anyway. But I AM saying that as a mental health nurse, I know the difference between holding someone down and forcing them to take an injection and giving them a choice with an ultimatum or...

The One With the Corrections Officer Strike

As a former Corrections Nurse, I will not remain silent on the issue going on in New York State right now. Corrections Officers are taken for granted. They are forced to work 8 extra hours on an almost daily basis. *Imagine going in for a 16 hour overnight shift from 3pm to 7am and then at about 6:30am when you are "finally almost done" you are ordered to stay until 3pm the next day - for a total of a 24 hour shift that you hadn't planned on. *Imagine being the only person assigned to a cell block for your entire shift, sometimes without a break because you are short staffed. *Imagine knowing that the prisoners are accused but not yet convicted of murder, and you have no idea if they might have a shiv/shank in their cell/room that could be used on you at any given moment. *Imagine knowing that when the nurses come on the unit with another officer to give out medication, you then feel responsible for their lives, too and would never forgive yourself if you fail to keep th...

The One Where it Matter How We React to Someone Else’s Comments or Actions

First, to everyone accusing me of not watching the full almost hour video before posting about my opinions, you obviously don’t know me very well. I absolutely watched it all before weighing in. This is another comment I made under my other post. Let me be clear. I am not saying I agree with with Zelensky. I am saying this was a “how are we going to react to his comments and actions” situation? There are ways to put someone firmly in their place while not risking losing the trust of other foreign countries. Putin now has an upper hand. I agree with those who have said that Zelensky was definitely trying to push his limits and see what he could get. Absolutely. I also think that we planned to stop helping them with money either way, yes. AND that he definitely needed to dial it back acting like we somehow HAVE to help or owe him something, etc. But I would have also not just ASSUMED that what he said was a threat - I would have tried to clarify some things with conversation and stil...
