Another departure
My awesome barber/hair stylist and friend is leaving the area. It wasn’t what I wanted to hear. She recommended another person but…it’s not the same. I feel myself wanting to pull away and just let go completely. I don’t want to say goodbye. I don’t want to learn someone else. It’s hard not to feel…

The day money made me angry
After my great success with doing my own VA claim, I decided to help out the squatter with theirs. It took me a long time, but I still worked hard. I went through the exact same process I did for mine: multiple and thorough reviews of the medical file, multiple lists of what I found,…

I’ve tried to ignore the numbness inside me that prevents me from feeling the pain of remembering what life used to be. I’ve tried to be understanding…

Daily Prompt 7/10/23
To answer this question I need to start with what I WON’T let go, which is the boundaries and protections I have built for myself. if someone is close to me and violates these protections unknowingly, I will let them know that’s their one time free pass. After that point, if these boundaries are violated,…

Daily Prompt 7/3/23
I am worried about a few things in the far distant future like leaving my kids unprepared for when I’m gone, the environment, the culture and political world that surrounds all of us, and if/when people will start acting civil to each other again. I don’t want to think too much about my demise at…

Why?
This morning I recorded a podcast with my dad. We get along all the time now, for the most part. He still sometimes says things that are annoying and he loves to talk. He loves attention more than anyone else I know. It used to make me so mad when it seemed like he was…
