Better
Guess what? I'm feeling better. The combination of the tapping and crying I did earlier in the week, having a turbo-level chiropractor visit, re-reading my positive blog posts and support from friends has pulled me out of my crying jag. Dr. Ashley Frer can work...
Grieving My Marriage
I've been scraping around for about a week now, missing my post-husband (I call him that because we'll be legally divorced in a few months), feeling the emptiness of my beautiful one-bedroom apartment, crying, EFT tapping, resting and then crying more. I understand...
My Hero
And again, after last night's Breaking Bad episode, "Granite State": Yay, Flynn!
Such a Mess and So Damn Proud
Recently someone who called herself "Deb" commented on one of my posts: Wow. You are such a mess and so damn proud of it. I responded, "Thank you," but I actually wish I were proud of it. The truth is that it's not correct to say I'm proud of being a mess, however...
I Hate Walter White
So there.
Breaking Bad: Walt, Jr. AKA Flynn
SPOILER ALERT: Don't read unless you're caught up completely on the American series Breaking Bad. Its series finale airs later this month. Yay, Aunt Marie for cluing in Flynn and DOUBLE YAY to Flynn for picking up the damn phone and doing what should have been done...
This Was Written by a MAN?
Previous post on weight & health: Fatter but wiser Even though the name of the author of this piece is Kevin, I still wasn't sure a guy had written it until he referred to himself as a father. Then I thought, "A man wrote this?? Bra-vo!" The only way I could...
Horror and Dreams
If you don't like being genuinely frightened, don’t watch Grave Encounters (2009) or The Bay (2010). I had a private horror film festival over the weekend and those two movies actually made me jump and shriek and cover my eyes. Of course, I watched them alone in the...
Breaking Bad: I Want Hank to Win
[SPOILERS GALORE. Don't read this if you're not up to the middle of the final season of Breaking Bad.] Am I the only person in the country (world?) who wants Walter White to pay for all the horrible things he's done? I was on his side for a long time, but at...
That WAS My Best
Catherine Shanahan's Deep Nutrition asserts that what our mothers ate even before they were pregnant with us affects how our bodies grow and our capacity for health. Likewise, the model for relationships that our caretakers provided when we were children affects how...
Grief
And on days when I’m not feeling as content as my last post indicates, I mourn the end of my marriage. My marriage only lasted five years, but it was good and now it’s over. I cry and tap and cry and let the grief pass through.
I Like Being Single
Addendum to my previous post (Not the marrying kind): this comes from a woman who did not initiate her divorce and who would have stayed married for years yet. I liked being married, but I think I simply prefer being single. From the many years I spent as a spinster...
