Sleepless in Seattle Type of Night

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! Right now, I am having trouble sleeping. I have been awake since Friday at around five o’clock in the morning Seattle time. I am tired as hell, and I know the reason why I am unable to sleep. I’m unable to sleep due to insomnia and PTSD. Due to the lack of sleep my depression is starting act up a little. I am sure with some sleep that the depression will subside.

Due to the lack of sleep, increased PTSD and depression symptoms I am extremely grateful that I have two really fun things happening. Those two things are Sea-Meow Convention which is in November of this year and Emerald City Comic Con (ECCC) in March of 2027. Having these two events to look forward to is extremely helpful for me even though my depression symptoms are not that bad and are most likely increased due the lack of sleep. I am really looking forward both Sea-Meow Convention and ECCC. For me planning to attend such events such as Sea-Meow Convention and ECCC are key to my mental health recovery because no manner how mild or severe my mental health symptoms are knowing that I have something fun to look forward to is key to my recovery.

I do not have anything else to discuss or share or to write about in this particular blog post except to say it is time to cuddle with my cat, Billie and attempt to fall asleep I do want to thank you the reader for reading my blog. It is greatly appreciated from my end of things that you the reader, read my blog. If it was not for you the reader, reading my blog I would not be continuing to write my blog. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my blog. Peace Out, World!!!

Middle of the Night Ramblings

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! It is the middle of the night here in Seattle. I am unable to sleep due to both insomnia and PTSD which sucks shit as I really would like to sleep. Since I am unable to sleep, I decided to pick up a book I bought at Emerald City Comic Con (ECCC). The book is call “To Shape A Dragon’s Breath” by Moniquill Blackgoose. It is the first book in the Nampeshiweisit series. It is about a 15-year-old Indigenous girl who trains a dragon despite what colonizers say or at least that is what the back says as I’m only twenty-eight pages into the book. So far, the book is a good read. I will keep you updated on how the book is as I continue to read through the book.

Middle of the Night Ramblings

Good Morning, World!!! It is almost three o’clock in the morning here in Seattle and I am having trouble once again. I am pretty sure that the reason I am unable to is a combination of insomnia and C-PTSD. Dealing with both sucks especially when they are both acting up at the same time.

My health has not been the best lately. Mainly due having a kidney stone since February and getting a stint to help pass the kidney stone. I am unsure if the kidney stone has passed or not, but I will be having a procedure done this Tuesday to help the kidney stone pass if it hasn’t pass yet as well to get the stint out.

On a more positive note, I went to Seattle POP Cats Convention yesterday and willing be attending again later today. It is my first ever cat convention. Not as big as comic cons but still worth attending. I am so glad that I chose to attend. There is also another cat convention here in Seattle in November. It is called Sea-Meow Con. I am planning on attending when they go on sale.

Up Too Late Reading Due to C-PTSD

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! It just after two o’clock in the morning Seattle time and sleep is not happening at the moment. The reason why sleep is not happening at the moment is due to C-PTSD symptoms. Due to the severity of my C-PTSD symptoms I am reading a horror book. The current horror book I am reading is The Graceview Patient, by Caitlin Starling. So far, I am immensely enjoying the book.

I tend to read horror books in the evening to help reduce the amount of C-PTSD related nightmares. Nightmares related to horror books I read are easier to cope with than nightmares related to C-PTSD. That is why I am currently reading a horror book, so when I do attempt to go to sleep it might not be so challenging to do so. Having C-PTSD sucks shit.

Thursday Morning Ramblings

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! I didn’t sleep very well last night. Part of it was due to insomnia and the other part was due to PTSD. In my opinion having both insomnia and PTSD suck shit. Since I was not able to sleep very well last night, I decided to read. I am reading Starter Villain by John Scalzi. I am really enjoying the book, and I am hoping to finish it soon as there are some books I bought at Emerald City Comic Con that I bought that I really want to read. At least reading helps me not focus so much on my PTSD symptoms.

I do not have anything else to discuss or share or to write about in this particular blog post except to say it is time to cuddle with my cat, Billie before I get ready for work. I do want to thank you the reader for reading my blog. It is greatly appreciated from my end of things that you the reader, read my blog.

Wednesday Morning Ramblings

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! I’m looking forward to today. In fact, today has already been a good day. I was able to sleep in which is amazing especially since sleep is challenging for me most of the time. When I woke up this morning, I cuddled with my cat, Billie which is always relaxing and calming for me. I also read a few chapters in the fantasy book that I am reading. As far as what the rest of my Wednesday looks like I am looking forward to it.

The thing that I am looking forward to most today is going to volunteer at PAWS Cat City in a couple of hours. I always love when I am able to volunteer at PAWS Cat City. The other thing I am looking forward to is when I get home is do some artwork. I’m not sure if I will be doing diamond art/painting or coloring or both. I also plan on reading. I most likely will read the horror book I am reading as I have already read a few chapters of the fantasy book that I am reading.

I do not have anything else to discuss or share or to write about in this particular blog post except to say it is time to cuddle with my cat, Billie before I get ready to go volunteer at PAWS Cat City.

Up Way Too Late Reading

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! I am up way too late due to reading. I am currently reading a stand-alone book called Starter Villian by John Scalzi. It is about a man who inherits a supervillain business from his long-lost uncle. I am really enjoying the book. I am also trying to finish it as I want to read the fantasy trilogy my best friend gave me as well the two books I bought at Emerald City Comic Con yesterday. The two books I bought yesterday are the first two books in a series. All the books I mentioned are either science fiction or fantasy. I really enjoy reading science fiction and fantasy genre books.

I do not have anything else to discuss or share or to write about in this particular blog post except to say it is now time for me to actually go to bed so I can wake up to go to Emerald City Comic Con.

Good Morning, World!!! I woke up at two fifty-nine this morning Seattle time and have not been able to go back to sleep. I am way too excited to go back to sleep. Today is the first day of Emerald City Comic Con here in Seattle and I am beyond ecstatic. I already have my first day of Emerald City Comic Con planned out. I have been looking forward to this since I bought my four-day VIP pass the first day they went on sale in August of 2025. I’m just so extremely excited for Emerald City Comic Con and that it is over my birthday weekend.
