I could be writing, but the scale model of the Himalayas in my kitchen isn’t going to wash itself. I could be writing, but the laundry. I could be writing, but I want to finish knitting this scarf for Missy (the one I’ve started and re-started three times already). I could be writing, but she […]
So, I’ve done that thing. You know, that thing? Where you say you’re going to blog more regularly, write it in a post for all to see, then vanish from your blog for over a week? That thing. Sorry about that. I actually have posts in my head, posts I’ve mentally written in bits and […]
Yesterday I went to the OB/GYN for a regularly scheduled appointment, but I asked her to check my episiotomy scar again because I’m still having a lot of pain during sex (more on this in an upcoming post). While I was out, Missy stayed home with Hubby. It was the longest I’d been away from […]
So, on a whim, I decided to sign up for the A to Z Challenge, practically at the very last minute (#1211!), with no preparation and very little planning. It is suggested that participants choose a theme, both to make the posts a bit more cohesive and to engage new readers. What topic would I […]
It’s been two weeks since my last blog post. I could say I haven’t had the time or inclination to write, but that’s a lie. To say I haven’t had the energy, physical or mental, would be closer to the truth. I constantly write blog posts in my head that never make it to the […]
I don’t know if it’s 3rd trimester fatigue setting in, this cold I’ve had since Thursday, or just feeling like I don’t have much to say, but I’ve been struggling to write this week. I’ve tried. I have several drafts started, but they’re all dead ends. One of them was about how I gave notice […]
As if the emotional pain of a failed cycle wasn’t bad enough, for the past two days I’ve been doubled over in physical pain with the worst. cramps. ever. I’m pretty sure my uterus is trying to eat my other organs. There’s so much I’ve wanted to write about regarding the sucktitude of the past […]
I haven’t written about my new therapist yet. I’ve had two sessions with her so far. The first was spent answering a bunch of questions about why I was interested in therapy, basic background/history, a bit about my relationships, strengths, etc. I also told her about my previous therapy experiences, and she assured me our […]
Thanks, everyone, for your helpful suggestions. I was able to get myself moving a bit, starting in the bathroom, the smallest room in the house. Once I got going and was feeling motivated, I was even able to do a little yoga, something I’ve been having a hard time making myself do since our crowded […]
I originally started this poem a long time ago, during a time when Hubby was gone, probably out of the country without me. I recently tweaked and “finished” it. Turns out, it’s not just long absences that make me miss Hubby. The four hours he’s gone to teach his class one night a week seem […]
