I’ve been digging deep into personality types and cognitive function this last year, trying to make sense of why I do, say, or think so differently from others. I’ve mentioned before that I am an INFJ, which is a fairly rare personality type. A few days ago I decided to try taking the Enneagram test.…

I went to water aerobics this morning. It was a little easier to show up, but I was still a bit nervous. Thankfully the lady that had been there last time that has only been one more time than me was there. So we both took the same spots as last time. The woman that…

I did it! I went to the water aerobics class! I was super anxious, but I made myself do it. Part of the way I ensured I wouldn’t chicken out was by telling several people I planned to go. I didn’t want to let them down. The class started at 9:00 and I realized at…

Granny’s body finally gave up the fight on Thursday evening. She was not truly here for nearly five days before that. She was on the highest dose of morphine they could give, but her heart and oxygen held mostly steady. It wasn’t until they ran out of morphine and it took several hours before the…

Therapy day! Well, writing therapy, I mean. At least until my therapist comes back from maternity leave or I decide to find someone new. I actually took my daughter to her first therapy appointment yesterday. She didn’t tell me anything about the session, but I think it ultimately went well. She didn’t seem to be…

This may be my first post of the week, but I have actually managed to write several times! Tuesday I spent writing a memory (maybe it will be a memoir, maybe it will be fiction, or maybe I’m just working through things). Yesterday I wrote as if I was talking with my therapist. It’s kinda…

I mentioned in yesterday’s post that my hysterectomy is now scheduled. I have been wanting this for four years and it’s a relief to finally have someone willing to do it. However, that doesn’t mean all of my emotions are relief. Fear – I am worried about pain and recovery. I have had lots of…

Another week, another therapy session. This week’s focus was on the anxious energy I’ve been feeling ever since the book release. I wrote earlier this week about my anxiety about promoting myself, but I think this goes beyond that. We discussed the fact that I am feeling exposed and vulnerable. I feel like a rejection…

Yesterday I had a hysteroscopy. It was scheduled a few weeks ago because I’d had heavy bleeding for 15 days and a sonogram showed the possibility of a polyp. I was very nervous, so I wrote while I waited. This is what I wrote: I’m sitting outside the doctors office in my car. I got…
