Is there something such as phantom poop (similar to phantom pain)? I swear I stepped in something this morning when I went into Ethan’s room this morning, although a serious inspection of my feet and the floor showed nothing. Still, I felt it…. <insert creepy, eerie sound>
Gorgeous, gorgeous scene this morning from the kitchen. As much as I want to stop being a renter, I will miss the view of m
y Wicked Tree dreadfully. Headed to work where, finally, after 2 in-vain attempts, I was able to get to my school site to pick up a kid for intake, only, she wasn’t there. Humph. I also got my feelings hurt. It wasn’t intentional by any means (I know this) but I’m overly-sensitive. Great news! We have a new therapist at work and her specialization is…(drum roll) trauma! She is also going to the van der Kolk workshop in SF, which thrills me. I’ll switch my king bed to two queens and we can share my room in the Sunset district. Of course, as I wrote this I remembered I have a place to stay at my friend’s house who happens to live in Sunset district….
My goal for this week was to harass the shit outta my doc’s office until I got a referral to the pain management folks. Early this afternoon, I received a phone call and my injection will be <second drum roll, please> TOMORROW! I’m so damn relieved. Fingers crossed it works (<be-boppin’ to CRB and the Hips in December>. It didn’t hit me til I changed out of work clothes at home that the reason I was called today was because I was wearing my lucky MRI socks (I received them when I had my MRI done). I’ll start wearing this to singles bars.
Met my family – ex and kids – at Maggie’s volleyball confirmation meeting for joining volleyball club. It is this girlie’s turn to shine as she is fiercely committed. Dad and I spoke yesterday
, both agreeing that she puts forth plenty of effort and deserves this opportunity. I saw Jessica there, too, who is one of my favorite people.
I’m feeling content tonight. My sister is coming in for the holidays, my kid loves high school, my other kid is amazing, the dogs keep escaping from the backyard somehow, yet I have terrific neighbors who let me know. Life gets really screwed up sometimes and we, as humans, do some really fucked up things. Yet I have a Faith in the Universe that it will right itself as it all comes out in the wash. And if it doesn’t? Then I’ll go have a one-night stand. Either way, it’s a win-win.
