My birthday was this week. It’s been a mostly fun week with a lot of work stuck in between. I have the week off from my job, and Monday is Labor Day so that’s 10 full job free days. I’ve done a cursory check of my e-mail every day but there’s nothing there that can’t [...]

OK, so I’m not going to not talk about therapy anymore, because that is what my life is right now. I won’t talk about the details though, those are between me and my (awesome, spot on, intuitive) therapist. During our first session she reminded me of a strategy that I learned a few years ago [...]

It’s been a couple of weeks again. It seems that I have a lot to say except when I sit down to write. The last couple of weeks were a challenge. My partner was out at work. It was stressful but nothing horrible happened, no major mistakes were made, and I didn’t have to do [...]

I’m not going to talk about it here But, I like the therapist. She’s guiding me down a long scary road, giving me things to think about, and all that. My second session was this morning. It’s hard work, but I think maybe I’m doing OK at it. It’s not going to fix me [...]

I made a phone call last week. It’s something that I’ve thought a lot about. Actually, I’ve probably spent too much time thinking about it. I excel at over analyzing things. Analysis in itself never fixed anything. It just defines the problems. Fixing problems is something that I am wonderful at… …. for everyone else. [...]

The other day I went for some blood tests. Nothing major, just my annual physical tests. My doctor’s office has it’s own lab. In that lab there is the sweetest little, bald, fat, Indian man. I’ve gone to this doctor for five years now. I’ve been seeing this same lab guy for that whole time. [...]

I don’t know why. Maybe it’s my analytical side. I do work with numbers for a living. Every once in a while I get to thinking about how much of my life has passed with or without someone. I remember thinking when I was 16 that I had spent 1/2 of my life without a [...]

I really am considering revamping this whole blog site. Maybe I’d come write more often if it didn’t stare at me every time I log in and question when I’m going to give it some love. I have ideas! IDEAS people! and absolutely no time. I’ll get to it though, hang in there. So, it’s [...]

Writing has always been my therapy, ever since I could write. I’m struggling for words. The feelings are all there intensely, but the words haven’t come yet. My big brother, the one that I looked up to in spite of his demons; the one that always watched over me, protected me, and made me laugh [...]

I was requested, by the person that I’m avoiding writing about, to start blogging again… so let’s be a little random… I made this today. Except I used organic whole wheat flour, organic bananas, and a little milk instead of the sour cream. It was Better Than Mom’s, even without the chocolate chips. You really [...]
