Desert Flower's Recovery Journal

OH, I forgot the GOOD news! 

I got some new tattoos. Had been meaning to get those and squeezed that into my schedule somehow 

One is a "Cassandra" lettering tattoo, in an old typewriter font, running down my entire shin. For the Cassandra-syndrome, and believing there is actually 'something' going on with me.

And the other is 'Anxiety' from the Inside Out 2-movie. She's been trying to protect me for such a long time, I've been thinking I need to honour her, not condemn her. She's been my Friend really.

Thankyou for sharing all that DF. It affects me deeply.

Thank you Chart, for reading all that. I appreciate it.

Desert Flower,

Congrats on the new tats!

I resonate with what you wrote about your mother and not really "missing" her. 

Sounds to me like you are doing fantastic.

Wishing you and yours, all the best

Thank you for sharing Desert Flower. You're handling the aftermath of your mothers passing amazingly well. Maybe even life in general, as challenging as it often gets for people with such a big heart.

So I've been doing quite all right I should say.

Only a minor 'crash' this week which is forgivable (although it is remarkable to be using that word, seems the IC is still at work here).

I had my breast examination last wednesday. And everything looks all right luckily. But I was really very very stressed about it. I went there alone, because I never know who to ask to come along to these kinds of things, it always seems too much to ask. My husband is caught up in work still.

And it had been really busy again these past weeks, kids back to school, too much work at my job, still handling our late mother's estate etc. etc.

So yesterday, I felt I had really overstretched myself and I felt very tired and wired and I called in sick. I think visiting the hospital with this condition should be explanation enough and my manager did respond compassionately so okay. So that was the 'crash' but really I just needed some time to reset and I took that so well done me.

Still tired though. Well all right.

[SenseOrgan]

Yes, well done you! 

[sanmagic7]

ditto    well done you, DF!  and so happy the results were good.  love and hugs

[NarcKiddo]

Well done for getting to and through the examination. I'm glad the result was good. And well done for taking the day off work you so clearly needed.

Well done you, DF

Thank you, dear friends, for cheering.
That's actually what little me needed, being seen, some friends cheering.
