Goals: 11/30/18

It's the last day of November, finally, and I am staring down several tasks for the day. Actually, I don't really have that many, but considering I couldn't even get myself dressed yesterday, it feels like a lot. I need to go to the pharmacy. I need to go to my hair appointment. I need …

Absence

I apologize for having been away from my blog for so long. Things have been kind of hectic and unpredictable lately, especially with the Thanksgiving holiday here in the States. I had a nice Thanksgiving, but I came down with a bug over the day and I've been fighting it ever since. I have been …

Compartmentalizing

I am learning to separate the things that are happening in my life from my mood. That is to say, I'm not bogged down and completely devastated emotionally by everything happening around me. I will admit to very high anxiety levels as I haven't successfully gotten to the point where I can manage all areas …

Changing Goals

When cancer invaded my inner circle, my goals started to change a little. Things got put on hold for a while. That's okay. Every day now I kind of have a plan the night before of things that I might do the next day, but I know that those things might change. It just depends. …

Goals: 11/16/17

I'm going to talk to the peer support at my case management office today. I'm hoping that she can help me to process some of the things that are going on. Really, I just need someone to listen, and she is well equipped to do that. I might be taking a friend to run an …

Yay!

I did it!!!! I took a shower! This seems dumb, I know. Whatever. I'm happy. Fall/winter is hard for me. I did something for self care. Yay me! Do something nice for yourself today too! 😊 Image from Pexels.

Goals Update: 11/12/18

I still have to go to the store... Didn't make it into the shower or to the pharmacy. I will shower tonight and go to the pharmacy tomorrow. I just didn't have those things in me this afternoon. I ran my one important errand. I am still planning on group tonight, but it's also still …

Goals: 11/12/18

I need to go grocery shopping. Yay. I should take a shower before I do that. I'm kind of crusty. I'm currently doing a little laundry. I'm probably going to group later, but it's dependent upon a couple of things. I need to run an errand for a friend. I need to pick up a …

Cancer

Cancer stole one of my best friends almost exactly four years ago, (yesterday would have been his birthday), and now my closest friend has non-hodgkins lymphoma. When Dave got sick, it was like a living nightmare. He first identified a spot on his leg. We didn't think it was going to be that big of …

Goals update: 11/9/18

I went to the doc and he checked my labs and I thankfully do not have pancreatitis again. He was kind of worried. I feel sort of sick still, but I think it might just be stress. It will settle down eventually. I got the dishes put away and the rest washed/loaded/running except for a …
