Women's Stress

Women's Stress is a topic near and dear to my heart. As women gain more equality, they also gain more stress. True equality requires examination, and by providing my work to the world, I believe I am making my contribution.

Goodbye, 2019. Don't let the door hit you on the way out!

What a horrible, awful, no good year 2019 was! I would like to start 2020 positively, but to do so, I have to take measure of what exactly I lived through in 2019. Indulge me for a moment in this timeline: January: This was a good month. Joe and I were doing Whole30, I was not drinking, and I was bullet journaling regularly. I was also starting a new Master's program, "Health Communication." I had two classes- Social Construction and Statistics. I instantly fell in love with my new major. Even though the material proved daunting, I did pretty well in my classes. February: Trucking along with Whole30, not drinking, working out regularly and enjoying my classes. March: This is when it hits the fan. The weather starts to improve, but my aging parent's health starts to decline. The day after my darling nephew's birthday party, my mother, Mary, enters the hospital for a lung biopsy. She had been diagnosed with COPD and Lung cancer 2 years before. The lung ...

  Today marks 32 days without mail delivery at my home. I checked the mail twice yesterday, and once today at 12:45. Nothing. Not even mail from yesterday.  Today, as I do every day, I called the following phone numbers:  Roger's Park Post Office: 773-743-2650 (no answer) Jackie Cole, Station Manager: 773-943-9107 (phone rang for 4 minutes, eventually disconnected. No message service, no answer) Loretta Wilkinson, Customer Service Manager: 312-983-6107 (voicemail box full) Wanda Prater, Post Master: 312-983-8022 (no answer, VM box full) Consumer Affairs- 312-983-8030 (weird voicemail greeting message, left a message as I do everyday) No answer, didn't speak to anyone.  I also chose to brave the general USPS customer service line- 800-275-8777  I was on hold for an hour, and then I spoke to someone for 15 minutes. The outcome?  "Write a letter to Office of Consumer Advocate" Done. The gentleman on the phone did "escalate" my inquiry that I completed on their...

Here is a paper I wrote about my favorite hobby for speech class. It involves a deadly weapon and an unstoppable desire to loose arrows. Enjoy!  Archery Informative Speech   Pauline Mulkerrins   Speech 101   Professor Frelix July 10, 2014   MANUSCRIPT   I’ll never forget the first time I used a bow and arrow. I had dreamed of this day since I was little.   After a short safety instructional, I held the bow tightly in my right hand, and put the arrow on the bowstring with my left. The target looked huge and was only about 10 yards away, but it seemed so far. I was so scared I was going to miss and shoot my instructor or miss terribly. I instead took a deep breath, put the bow into position and pulled back the arrow. I knew at that second I had found something I loved. I let go of the string, and my arrow hit the target! I did something so simple and yet so scary. I looked at my archery instructor and g...
