The title says it all, really. I purchased my ticket at a time when things were a little less crazy in my life. My plan was to go and focus on building my brand, networking outside my core influence group and learn some tips and tricks to PR outreach. I had hoped to focus more on my writing after we moved. I enjoy it and I generally have a lot to say — but things happened and as you can see, most everything I’ve written since we moved has been password protected because it’s just not stuff I want the [...]

Just a quick note about the Dr. visit

Thumbnail image for Just a quick note about the Dr. visit June 22, 2011

I narrowly escaped being admitted for an endoscopy — instead, I convinced him to have it done here in Bakersfield. He was very, very concerned about the bleeding — much more concerned than my previous Dr. who assured me that it wasn’t anything to worry about, given the current circumstances here at home. Also? This Dr. gave me MUCH different information than my previous Dr. MUCH different. Like…Whoa different. So much different, in fact, that I have some serious concerns about something — but I’m not sure if it’s the previous Dr. or this guy. And, no matter how hard [...]

Tuesday can’t get here fast enough…

Thumbnail image for Tuesday can’t get here fast enough… June 19, 2011

John gets to come home from his first non-hitch, hitch, on the rig out to Elk Hills. We’ve talked daily about what he’s doing and what it’s like — but it’ll be nice to sit down and chat about it some, face to face. Without rushing and out of the public eye — which is how it’s been every time I’ve gone up to Taft to visit and take food and other stuff he needs. It’s just going to be nice to have him home. Jerrett really misses him, I know. He’s not good at communicating his emotions and he’s [...]

Purge journaling

I didn’t password protect this post because I’m not really sharing anything here that isn’t already out there. If you’re reading and wondering about the password protected posts — I’m mostly hiding those from the world, not from my friends, family and support system. It’s so hard for me to reach out and ask for help when I need it, so I write. I’ve been writing a lot and it’s been good for me to get my thoughts outside of my head. It’s hard for me to sit with them and think about them without the benefit of feedback. You’re [...]
