Lazy Sunday afternoon

I have just been relaxing today. I actually woke up at eight this morning, but I was so cozy I fell back asleep and didn’t wake back up until one this afternoon! I guess I was tired. I have been busier than normal the last few days. That has actually been good for me. I …

Stupid month!

Due to a bunch of bureaucratic crap and the fact that my therapist’s office is merging with the local community mental health agency, (something that I am just thrilled about), I don’t get to see my therapist for three more weeks. I’m lucky I get to see her at all really. It could have ended …

One paper, written!

I finally sat down and wrote my paper. Or finished it I guess since I started it yesterday. I did a bunch of editing on what I had started though, so it felt like I wrote the whole thing. Either way, it’s done. Yay! I still have to submit it, but I will read it …

Waking up in pain

I can’t sleep because I keep waking up in tremendous pain. This sucks. I’m really trying to not let it get to my mood, but it’s very difficult. It’s especially challenging because I have so many things that I need to do and the pain is really distracting. I did get my paper started last …

I cleaned something!

Very literally I scrubbed the toilet and took out the trash in the bathroom. I also did a load of laundry. Considering how much my shoulder hurts, that’s about all I could do, but it made me feel better about that space. It’s like a little achievement, but it meant a lot. I’ve been staring …

Let me tell you…

Shoulder pain is no joke. I have some kind of calcific tendinopathy of my shoulder. Apparently it’s this thing that can come on spontaneously and WOW does it hurt. I went to the ER on Monday morning because I couldn’t take the pain and they diagnosed it with an x-ray. It was a good learning …

Having a day…

I woke up today full of plans. I was going to clean the bathroom and do some self care. Instead, I went back to sleep for seven hours. When I woke up this evening, I realized I had slept on my right side really uncomfortably and done something awful to my shoulder and arm. It’s …

It’s 9/11…

It’s the twentieth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and I am feeling a lot of frustration. I realize that most college undergrads, and certainly all high school students, do not remember 9/11. I was a junior at university and profoundly affected. I didn’t personally lose anyone, but I was definitely affected. I had several friends …

Beep beep! Sold my car!

My green little go getter is gone. I did love this little car, but it started to make me nervous. I was anxious driving it on the highway and I didn’t want to take it long distances. It certainly wasn’t going to be something I could count on for the next several years. Still, I …

You guys, I did it!!!

I sat in class for four hours and it was okay! I even did the homework I was supposed to do ahead of time. All of the reading and the evaluation thing. Whew! I did it! I was so nervous not knowing what to expect. It went okay though. It wasn’t awesome, but it was …
