0946 Waiting at the doctor's. Nothing quite pisses me off like waiting on others. My time is valuable. If they can cancel on me for being 10 minutes late, why can't I cancel on them? Dammit. I forgot my ear buds. I was gonna listen to audible or calming music to keep me in control. …
Being content – Part 2: Moving forward
I was thinking about my last post & how I've been trying to make my peace with the fact that it's okay to stick with what works. There might be something bigger & better out there but it's not worth the time, energy, or drama to try to figure it out. To piggyback on that …
Being content
I'm not sure if it's because I'm American or how I was raised or how my mind works or whatever, but there is this "what if" inside of me when it comes to products. Let me explain.What if this shampoo is alright but there's a better one out there for my hair? What if this …
Being afraid
CW: eating disorders, rude-ass people I feel like it's been a blur of holidays. First Rosh Hashanah, then Yom Kippur, & now Sukkot - all within a blink. I get the whole "tis the season" part of it but I'm still chewing on my New Year's resolutions. And still trying to make amends with myself …
Bored, yet anxious
I'm so bored today at work. There's literally nothing for me to do. And why is that? Because I'm so Type A that I'm way ahead in work. And because I work primarily in past dues & collections, I can't so much send a notice to a vendor when they're not late yet. 😉 So …
Quasi-sobriety
I realized something the other day when I spoke to Dr. H - I don't drink as much as I used to. It wasn't ever like I craved alcohol or that I was addicted by any means. It was more of a "drink until you can't hear those thoughts & feel those feelings anymore." I …
Body, mind, soul
Well hello there https://media.giphy.com/media/1AitiVkJFu5Qcimpt8/giphy-downsized-large.gif Ugh, what a QUEEN! As you know, work has been insane. By the time I log off, I'm completely spent & utterly exhausted. Some times I have to nap over lunch & after work just to make it through the evening. It's not that the work itself is difficult. There's just …

Clouds
I've been thinking about what Dr. G told me to do with intrusive thoughts. She's mentioned to me a few times of acknowledging their presence (either by taking a moment or saying, "That's interesting") before releasing it & letting it go. I'm sure this sounds like an easy-peasy task for most of you. For me, …
10 things I no longer do or buy – Part 2
I wrote the original list here & I was thinking that it was time for an updated list. I mean, it has been a year & I think quarantine has shifted everyone's priorities. I think we all have realized what we can live without & what is truly important to us. For me, I learned …
