  • Well… Damn 😥

    Well… Damn 😥

    The Boyfriend is doing individual therapy and I think that’s fantastic. He had a session yesterday while I was at my Trauma-Informed Yoga Therapy, sweating to death with the effort of doing movements that seem like a penance compared to what I used to be able to do many moons ago when I was in…

  • What IS love?!

    What IS love?!

    Sometimes, I have a really difficult time trying to Brain. I was reviewing my previous post titles to see if I could find some inspiration and I noticed I have at least TWO “I’m tired” style titles. I mean… I am – literally all the time – but sheesh. Writing about how tired I am…

  • It’s All About the Balance

    It’s All About the Balance

    The whole of existence is inundated with opposing forces: Light and Dark, Fate and Free Will, Love and Hate, Life and Death, Public and Private, Past and Present, Fast and Slow, Youth and Age, Dreaming and Reality… and so much more. I find that a healthy balance of Yin and Yang, both sides of the…

  • Giving Grace

    Giving Grace

    One type of therapy I’m in (*counting* Out of 6?!) is Trauma-Informed Yoga Therapy. Thus, because I looked up the meaning of her real name to give a nickname for privacy, my yoga therapist’s official nickname as of this morning is: Grace. Hi, I hope you like the nickname! Thank you for reading my blog!…

  • I’m Just… Tired

    I’m Just… Tired

    I have a Draft titled, “Things That Break” and had every intention of writing about that today, but… I’m just tired. I tried, of course, but my heart just isn’t in it (there’s a broken thing) and my mind is in shambles (ope, another broken thing). This causes me to get distracted easily by things…

  • Ugh. Mondays.

    Ugh. Mondays.

    Welp… I’m honestly at a loss for words (I’m sure that will improve). All I really want to do at this point is curl up and succumb to a permanent nap. Hard truths… I do want my suffering to end, I just don’t have the balls to make that happen. Probably for the best, I…

  • I’m a Whore for Psychology

    I’m a Whore for Psychology

    A favorite thing of mine to say is, “I’m a whore for __________.” I think it lets the receiver know that I’m pretty obsessed with whatever that thing is. It was especially entertaining when I used it on My German for the first time. Language barriers are fun sometimes, even though he speaks English really…

  • Dungeons & Dragons BBQ

    Dungeons & Dragons BBQ

    Oooooh, boy! Would I love to host a D&D themed BBQ with some famous nerds. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not one of those celebrity obsessed types, but I do love a few of them. Henry Cavill would be my first choice. I know he’s more of a Warhammer type, but come on (I…

  • Day 8

    Day 8

    Welp… The Boyfriend took me to “Anger Management” as part of our date day… hahaha, okay okay… it was a Rage Room. I got to break shit. It was GLORIOUS! A very rare glimpse of the real me, finishing off the old printer we got to brutally destroy… I even stomped it like the guys…

  • Day 6-7

    Day 6-7

    Despite currently doing the Thing, I decided to go ahead with the IFS/EMDR therapy… I mean, it’s telehealth, so why not?! I had to reschedule from Tuesday to Thursday because the Tuesday stuff made it not possible. All the same, it was rough (as usual). Discovering inner parts of myself that have been stuffed away…

  • Preparations

    Preparations

    I had a busy day yesterday, having left the house at 9am and gone to therapy, out to my mom’s to help The Brother with applying for Medicaid (he’s finally chosen to get help in a rehab facility for his alcohol addiction), and getting my nails done. I was away from home for 6.5 hours……

  • Bread Crumbs

    Bread Crumbs

    I feel like this one will be a decent extension (expansion?) of my previous post – “It’s the Little Things“… we shall see. Today, we venture into the world of “Bids for Connection” – which, if I’m not mistaken, was created by Dr. John and Julie Gottman (and for the record, Dr. John looks a…
