My doctor’s visit today
I go to an awesome doctor’s office. Last year I saw the nurse practitioner for my first appointment but a few months ago I got a call that she was leaving and would I like to see the doctor instead. I said sure, because I had heard awesome things about him. The staff there is…

Handling what should be easy
My youngest will be 10 in December. We’ve had a couple of strange moments over the past year that I can’t really work through in my mind. It feels like something deeper is happening with her and I don’t like that she’s so quiet about it. The first instance was last December. I found a…

Another Book to Be!
I started preparing for NaNoWriMo today. Last year I wrote a very rough draft of a book in the first half of November. I love that story still. I started to reread it a few weeks ago and it’s even better than I remember! It needs a ton of work to be a decent book…

Closure Not Needed?
This one hit me over the head yesterday. I always considered closure important and something that I needed to get over things. I was always upset when someone just stopped talking to me completely and I didn’t get all the answers I needed. I felt like I couldn’t just let things go and I was…

Vivid Dreams
I slept terribly last night. I take Clonidine for nightmares because they used to be so bad that I didn’t want to go to sleep. I didn’t want to take any medication for a long time because I wasn’t sure how I would react to it. But eventually I wasn’t sleeping well most of the…
