Farmer's Market and Work Saga in Staying Connected
The farmer’s market this morning was a success! We stopped at five different stands for various things. At the first stand, we got broccoli, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, green beans, cucumber,...
Several Red Flags in Staying Connected
Let’s see. I finally got to take my daughter’s table home from my in-laws’ house! So I’m excited about that. Today is my second day of “work” this week. I had 8 clients on the calendar (5 yester...
Enjoying My Limbo in Staying Connected
Happy October! It doesn’t really feel like October around here. This morning we went on another power walk / jog on the beach (we jog a little more each time) and it was 75 degrees out when we go...
Proud in Staying Connected
Whew! I just got back from my third power walk on the beach. This time my husband and I dropped our daughter off with his parents, he came with me, and we jogged for a few minutes. It was also th...
Nesting (minus the pregnancy...) in Staying Connected
Since I’ve given up Facebook and YouTube, I do feel like I’ve been more pro-active and productive. However, I’ve also been spending an increasing amount of time on Amazon, which is not great when...
Highs and Lows in Staying Connected
I’m finally starting to feel like I’m on top of things, as much as I can be. As far as diet goes, I’ve made several adjustments for the better. Breakfast and lunch are always the same. Two scram...
Family Day in Staying Connected
Yesterday was our first weekly “family day” since I lost my job and we decided to go to a Farmer’s Market in the morning and to our local aquarium in the afternoon. Overall, it was a pretty nice ...
That Fleeting Moment in Staying Connected
Earlier this week I told my husband that I just want to feel lonely. I want to have an opportunity to miss people. I feel like everywhere I look there is concrete, and people. I feel trapped, tie...
Interim in Staying Connected
I’ve been trying to find the words to describe how I’ve been feeling these past few days. I feel a pretty great sense of dissatisfaction and uncertainty along with a mild but pervasive sense of ...
Current Considerations in Staying Connected
I got the official rejection letter from the first place I applied to. To be honest, I didn’t really mind for a few reasons. For one, it was my first time doing the weird automated interview, an...
Changes in Staying Connected
Let’s see. I have a few minor updates this afternoon. One, I finally got my hair cut. It feels much better, but I’m not a fan of how it looks. Hopefully once I wash it and let it air dry, it wil...
Self Validation in Staying Connected
So far I have 12 clients on the schedule and one more I’m waiting to hear back from, and I will being seeing 9 per week (due to some every-other week clients). So that’s not too bad. Since this w...
Closing The Chapter in Staying Connected
Whew. This week has been a lot. Luckily, I think I’m coping pretty well. I worked all day yesterday and plan on working all day again today, and I’m only getting paid for one hour—because I’m on...
Wrench in Staying Connected
So… I pretty much lost my job today. Sigh. The first half of the day I went about my business as usual. I saw my first three clients, and then I went into my weekly two-hour Zoom meeting for gro...
Moving and Improving in Staying Connected
I’m having a really great day today. I’m finally starting to feel like I’m back on track. I think that time and therapy have both played major roles. It’s been really hot in California for the p...
Therapy and /the social dilemma_ in Staying Connected
Okay, so the first and least important thing I’ll mention this morning is that I’ve decided, and I’m going to schedule a haircut. I feel relieved already. Second, I had another productive therap...
Anxiety Management... in Staying Connected
Every Monday I spend the day with my daughter while my husband works. Yesterday, after I put my daughter down for a nap, I was feeling particularly anxious about all of the things that I knew in ...
Anxiety, Conflict, and Space Making in Staying Connected
Those of you who watched the video in my last entry know that yesterday, while I was working, my husband took my daughter to a family gathering on his father’s side against my wishes. I didn’t te...
Done in Staying Connected
Dude, I feel soooo unmotivated right now. It sucks. I feel like I need a vacation, like a real vacation away from the stressors of family. I need to get away. I just ordered myself a new pair of...
Mundane Morning in Staying Connected
I’m currently at the stage in my cycle where I feel like its impossible to keep my condo up to a basic standard of cleanliness. The other day I heard on the radio that millennials only clean thei...
Hardcore Momming in Staying Connected
I just added a butt ton of stuff to my daughter’s Amazon wish list, keeping in mind her new daily schedule. Today was my first day with my daughter and we stuck pretty close to the schedule. I’m ...
Pictures in Staying Connected
Hey. It’s Saturday night and I don’t have anything important I need to be doing, so I think I’m going to post this, take a shower, and then call it a night. I decided on a whim that I wanted to ...
Shout Out To My Mamas in Staying Connected
So much to say, so little time. But the good news is that I got to sleep in until 8am today. Winning. The topic I’d like to write about (but sadly there’s no way I can cover it today) is one tha...
Deep Seated Dysfunction in Staying Connected
I stayed up about an hour past my bedtime last night, and then my daughter woke up thirty minutes before my alarm was supposed to go off. So I’m a little tired this morning. This week my app thi...
Scary Close in Staying Connected
I counted up my hours yesterday. I am currently fifty non-clinical hours away from having completed my three thousand hours, you guys. I almost started this entry talking about how I’m worried a...
