Thanks Ms Spock.


Goal for the day to carefully step through today without running away from the pain Im feeling but not dwelling on it too much either. Oh this is going to be fun as hell. ( Notice sarcasm here). Hugs to all of us.

Easing up on myself...

I failed vegetable chopping 101 tonight, as I did last night. I am still not too well. I think I can ease up on myself for not doing too much this week.

(Yes I cut myself last night whilst chatting to a friend and tonight whilst just chatting to my pet.)

Not too badly - enough for a band aid each night and a little bit of embarrassment - not stitches or anything like that.

My goal is to breathe through the stabbing pain today.

Goal complete, though it was a tad longer in her condo than was prudent for my allergies. Note to self: think of a shorter game. She though was more relaxed and it was a nicer visit this week.

That was insightful of you to work out that she wanted social contact Alba.[DOUBLEPOST=1360481480][/DOUBLEPOST]I cleaned, decluttered and organised today and it was great to get all that done. It was overwhelming at times but I got a fair bit done.

Today I am off to classes. I have done a drawing as required. I am nervous.

I need to pack up my stuff and go.

Nervous, nervous, nervous!

Okay packing up my stuff and taking me and my nerves to class.

I did go and it was challenging to be present and to listen and take things in. I did listen and understand but then my follow through in application fell down. But the teacher noticed this and corrected me. He pointed out that my first work was very tentative. It was indeed.

It was hard going and I had to sort through how I don't know myself so much and how I need to know my self to create my own voice. I also need to apply myself to the discipline of practice.

So I did it. I was miserable and unhappy when I got home because my work is not up to the standard - or wasn't today. Last week I did okay.

Anyway it was challenging. It is good to challenge my PTSD by being present, thinking, being in the now, listening, being grounded and present around other people, applying myself, being disciplined, working away and thinking about how to improve my work and my self. This certainly is a learning experience.
