Who Is In Control?

I took a drive today, partly to get out of the house. Not working is hard. I feel like I’m getting cabin fever. But at the same time, I don’t think I’m ready to go back to work, and I don’t want to go anywhere where there are people.

That makes it tough all around.

About 20 miles away is a shrine. It was built for a Native American woman...

Good Session

My session with Dr H was good today. I’m not sure why I had anxiety about it yesterday. I felt none of it this morning while I was waiting for her. I almost told her part of my story, but we got talking about other things.

We talked about the box in the attic, and then the dream I had after the attic thing happened. I told her that I wished I...

Worry~Anxiety

A’s birthday went well. She had a good time. We didn’t do much. My mother and her boyfriend came over for cake and ice cream.

She got what she wanted for her birthday-money. Plus, a couple of things from my mother. Everyone loved the cake. It’s almost gone.

My mother grated on my nerves a little. I was washing some strawberries and a...

Dream~Running~Him

Today wasn’t too bad a day. I spent some time this afternoon getting things ready for A’s birthday dinner. Her birthday is Tuesday, but we’re going to celebrate with cake and everything tomorrow. Tomorrow just works out the best for everyone. And she won’t mind getting her presents early.

My baby is going to be 19.

Anyway, about 3 years ago,...

Getting Through The Day

Well, today wasn’t as ok as yesterday was.

I decided to get some grocery shopping done. Major grocery shopping. It’s been a while since I stocked up. Our pantry and fridge have gotten kind of empty.

The weather has been gorgeous all day. In the 70s, sunny, just a little breeze. Lots of people were out, on the streets, and in the...

OK

I spent the morning at the hospital, getting a GI series of tests done for my stomach. I doubt they’ll find anything wrong. They never have. I’m sure this time my stomach problems are due to stress.

Then I came home, and my mother stopped by. She wanted to let me know that she and her boyfriend are going to be out of town this coming...

That's What I Am

Today was a little better than yesterday. I stayed out of the attic. But I am determined to go back up sometime soon, and getting more cleaning done. I’ll just make sure I avoid that box.

I was flipping channels on the TV, and I came across a show on the soap channel. Two episodes ran back to back. It was one of those high school drama...

Old Navy Stuff

I woke up this morning feeling pretty good. After I had some coffee, I decided to get ambitious and do some cleaning.

Our attic is stuffed with all sorts of things, most which we don’t use anymore. It’s been like that since we bought our house in 2003. It will probably take a couple of months of working at it to get it cleaned and...
Well, I got to my session this morning. I probably shouldn’t have gone. When I got back I took my car to my mechanic. Turned out I needed new front brakes. At least I made it ok.

My session with Dr H was good. We talked about a few things.

She is so proud of the things I’ve done this week. I was so excited to tell her about my mother and...

Good and Sad Thoughts

Today started out pretty good.

I slept well last night. I haven’t slept that well in a long time. Maybe the dinner I went to had something to do with it. When I woke up, I felt pretty rested, and I don’t remember having any bad dreams.

I did laundry, like usual. That’s my big thing on Sundays. Other than that, it’s just a little housework...
