What is Something Good You Did Today?

[Deleted member 93]

Feeling good. Well, a hell of a lot better than I thought I would so far, good may be an overstatement. Got a very hot lavender bubble bath running I am going to treat myself to. And hubs being the sweetie he is brought me a beautiful fragrant bouquet of flowers by surprise. When I asked what for he said it was because I was half way through... Me puzzled he said you are half way through the month, it is the 15th. Wow I really am halfway through June! Almost over and looking forward to being healthy again once it passes.

I had a bad day today which made me realise that I'm getting better at living down in the new house, with the traffic. Sounds a bit silly but the fact that I was getting scared today reminded me that I had been able to get on with my work all week and it was just today that was difficult, not the whole week.

I worked on my Victim's Compensation Claim, and took breaks as not to overwhelm myself. I also made pesto, and got my super to look at my broken oven - and I'm getting a new one as a result *does a little dance*. I don't say I'm proud of myself enough, but I am proud of myself today - working on my claim is not close to being easy.

Well...it wasn't something I did, but something good for me. My boss came into my office today and told me that my raise had been approved. Woo-hoo! There has been so much going on this month that I had completely forgotten that June is when raises are approved. A very nice surprise, indeed.

We had packed everything up the night before, and, without any stress, took our kids, a friend of theirs and we all went to the beach first thing this morning.

We had an absolute wonderful time digging, building castles with the kids and naturally swimming (them) and wading (me) into the ice cold water. But the time spent digging the trenches, constructing the castles and working together was a joy.

Also later today worked damb hard pressure washing several fence panels from the edge of a quick downward steep hill and in addition to other things. It wasn't easy and it was soaking wet work, but I loved it. It was like wet, splintery tee' shirt afternoon for me, but what a treat. (lol) I love work ! hard work, where you get to see the result of your own efforts and determination
..............and that's why I miss confronting and re-evaluating my trauma(s), because already I've seen positive, positive results and changes within me that's making living a heck'a'va lot more reality based and joyful, and yet I have so much more personal work and recovery ahead of me, for my family and for myself.

Went to my 3rd therapy session.

First one I've had since two other attempts a few years back. The first attempt, I new that I shouldn't follow through when the woman sounded very much drunk on the other end of the line, but I did, figuring it would wear off. That therapy was useless and very short-lived. The other attempt the woman was so passive and spacey, it was difficult to feel her presence. The therapist I have now is very present with a strong positive presence and speaks intelligibly. I'm willing to trust her. Gee' though I do miss a therapist that I last saw in 1996. He was dynamite, brilliant and effective, but he moved on and so did I.

Goodonya for going, Hope.

Today I cleaned the house from top to bottom for the first time in....months. I feel much better. It got some of my anxious energy out and I just feel like my life is in slightly better order with no grossness on the floor and all the clutter put away properly.

Today I helped my Dad reboot his computer.

He wants to get online and buy a 1970-era ford mustang or something like it. He already has a sports car, or a sports car-type car, but it needs repairs. He wants something that is totally fine and doesn't need repairs.

Its kind of cute. I'm glad he has a fun hobby to do. But he's over 65. I hope he doesn't take his car and do [Steve McQueen in Bullitt] type car chases when I'm not around.

Hee Hee. That's a lot of Fun.

Have a Good Day,

Rob

It was about time.............Yesterday, I was able to make an appt., and today I was able to go to my hair stylist and have my hair washed, cut and highlighted. Awesome!

Also, she was able to cut my daughters hair too and now she has a beautiful head full of curls again, after removing much access weight off her long hair.

Our son and I went for a walk, despite my feelings of a combo. of depression and generalized anxiety, and we skipped rocks in the water together.

Matt and I walked Cougar for an hour and a half down some nice nature trail there have here. Cougie met a freind (boomer) and they played. We met the owner who told us about other trails and said he hoped to see us walking again. Those two puppies had a blast!

I hope that I am not intruding here.....

I worked and then took an elderly man that I know shopping for food. He is very sick with tons of health problems. It was good to see him smile like a kid in a candy store.....

I'm tired, and I am going to go de-stress in a wonderful, warm, bubble bath. Play some music, light some candles, and think of how wonderful it is to live alone.........LOL!!!!!


Nite all...

I had drinks with a friend tonight and she asked a question about my trauma. I briefly (very briefly--just one sentence!) summarized it.

I didn't feel embarrassed or dramatic or stupid or to blame for it!!! Wahoooooo!
