    It’s been tough. Actually, it’s been scary tough – especially over the past couple of days. Yesterday, I went to the doctor with my sister for her appointment. While she didn’t allow me to go back there, I got the gist of it and am highly concerned about what I was told. Not only the Read more

    Much like Tuesday, this day started dark. I’ve slept too much. Over the past day, I’ve eaten too much. I haven’t done enough. I’ve wasted too much time on things that don’t matter and not enough on things that do. But, I’m trying. Despite the overeating… or perceived over eating… yesterday was pretty good. I Read more

    I need to get out of my head. Today is kind of unusual. I don’t have a house to clean or any appointments. I keep hitting refresh on my classes and nothing has come in. I should take this time to work on my book, color, read…. do something. I’ve stumbled onto a golden day Read more

    I feel that I survived Mother’s Day fairly unscathed. That holiday is a duel-edged dagger. When it comes to motherhood, I feel an intense guilt and lack of fulfillment as I can never be a biological mother. Cancer and, probably, anorexia stole that from me. But I also feel shame as I feel that I’m Read more

    I need to calm down. I’m not sure why but I’m buzzing with energy. I feel tingly like there are ants just underneath my skin. They’re running up my nerves to my throat and making it tight. It was a good day. I drove the truck and it wasn’t difficult. I dumped the trash and Read more

    February was messed up. I think I was more in a hospital via St Francis and Methodist than out. If I don’t consider the month change, I had definitely been in a hospital than out over the past 30 days. I don’t think I ever had that situation, including the spinal fusion. Roughly a week Read more

    Another day in the life. Day three… potentially day three here in room T524. I don’t know if I’m leaving today or have another night but here I am on the other side of a rough night. Last night was far more difficult to fall asleep than before. I don’t know if it was just because I’m Read more
