I sometimes really hate it when L has a different perspective of a situation than I have had my whole life. For example: I had a happy memory with my dad. Her perspective is that she felt sad for me because a child deserves more than the scraps my parents gave me. This week she disgusted me with saying something about

Dr. Shallcross suggested approaching the feeling with curiosity and “using your body and your experience as a laboratory: ‘What’s here?’” That's the neutrality part for me. You notice your hostility or your disgust and then wonder where it comes from. That might point you to a root cause (the fear or vulnerability or whatever) that you can work through. Eventually you might even come to appreciate the hostility because it's an indicator that something is coming up for you that haven't quite noticed or dealt with yet. ("Wow, I am filled with rage at this person for no discernable reason. I wondering what's bothering me right now?") When you get a handle on accepting the deeper stuff, the surface reactions and feelings will probably fade on their own. (Or at least that's the idea, I think.) |

Well, that's a wrap on another National Poetry Writing Month! My 2nd year successfully completing the 30 poems in 30 days challenge. Doing so brought me joy this year. Now it's time to focus on the Writing your way home course... I haven't posted too much on there yet but am ready to get caught up.
Hugs and head nods all around as wanted/needed/appropriate. |

my life is dark drama series, that in no way I will get out of hell, unless a miracle happens. That my employer doesn’t contest it, and I will be approved for some income. and when this lovely start of unemployment begin? I didn’t think to ask how long it takes them. But I did ask how often do get denials denied, and says it happens a lot. My employer said they won’t contest it. But now i’ve added more panic to my life. The biggest thing was putting down a resignation is worse than just got fired. I didn’t know! where do people learn to do all of this stuff!
So now I am worried that they think I tried to hoodwink them by making them give me the rights to get unemployments. ugh so that is now added on this very long silver rope choking me, slowly and surely. |

Hugs, Velcro. I hope you don't get denied unemployment. You could contact the unemployment office and ask how long a decision usually takes, though I imagine it can vary. |

Hugs, Scarlet. I've had conflicts with Dr. T over similar things. Where he's said my mom has anxiety, too, so I should l should try to look at her with compassion. And ultimately forgive her. Which felt like I should go directly from blaming myself for some things to forgiving her, without other steps in between. So I get it. It feels like the T is taking their "side" instead of ours. |

Is it weird that I'm already planning how I want to decompress after getting home from work tomorrow?

Just picked up my meds, in a big ol' white Lincoln. I love LYFT. Anyway, set for meds for a while. Except for insulin, which is about monthly and i cant get it delivered. Finally took my first shower since my eye surgery two weeks ago. You know i would not be able to follow instructions of "dont let water splash your face from the front". I had a detached retina. Pretty much better now, about halfway thru convalescence. Vision that isnt still blocked by reparative stuff is much like the other eye, which is to say still legally blind if it werent correctible. SNAFU! The eye was toeing out a bit when i was putting the prescribed eyedrops in it, but when i look at myself in the mirror, it looks fine. It USED to toe in, so no complaints here. This all sprang up like 3 weeks ago, i saw the eye dr wednesday and got operated on the next day. He was very cute and im in love again, but of course you probably already figured that out!

Thanks, LT.
Hugs are appreciated. I'm hoping that R might send me an update tomorrow to let me know about Thursday. I'm sorry you had to go through that, Una. I'm squeamish anyway, but eye surgery sounds particularly horrific. __________________ 'Somewhere up above the great divide Where the sky is wide, and the clouds are few A man can see his way clear to the light 'You have all the grace you need for today, and today is all that matters.' - Steve Austin |

That's scary about the detached retina, Una! Hope your recovery continues to go well.
