Sage's Journal

OMG, has it been a month? Sheesh. So, the little house auction went well, the guy checking in everyone even remembered me and my house from when I dropped it off. He was so sweet about it. I've been rather creative on the poetry front and even had one that processed a memory. Seems like poetry might work better for my processing than memoir at this point. Therapist is considering going to "as needed" basis since I haven't been highly triggered by an EF lately. Of course, the political stuff is anxiety-inducing enough.

Had a nice birthday. Tasty lunch and love with the bro and BFF, and reduced-calorie (but yummy) ice cream is in the freezer. And hey, 55, now I qualify for some restaurant discounts, LOL. Just keepin' on, ya know. Still don't get out much, but the few artsy things I've made myself go to have turned out well. It helps when everyone is there for the same reason and generally not the type of people I find triggering. Therapist is on vacation during next meeting time, so that's almost a month between visits.  We'll check in and probably go to the "only if needed" schedule. I'll tentatively take the win. Healed? not by a long shot. Better than in the beginning? kinda, yeah. Still have the physical issues, but not unexpected.

Oh, may have to buy a new mattress, as this memory foam one is very compressed after only 4 years. That makes me mad, as my previous one lasted a full 10 years. They're so horribly expensive anymore, and most aren't flippable to last as long. Sigh.

hey, CF, sounds like you're doing pretty good, and for that i'm glad.  that creative stuff sounds wonderful.  and right beside you on the scary stuff.  'as needed' basis also sounds good.  keep up the good work!  love and hugs

Hi Sage,
Glad to hear you had a nice Birthday.  That ice-cream sounds delicious.  It's great that your Artsy projects have turned out well - it sounds like a supportive and creative group of people you're collaborating with.
