Today I ran to Lowe’s early and got ant poison bate traps, air filters for the HVAC and wildflower seeds to plant in a bed where everything died or got transplanted.
Then I went straight to the park, gave sweet pea a good walk, chatted with a couple of friends, came home made breakfast for us, did a virtual call with the husband’s kidney doc. Everything is holding steady. Then I had a 40 minute zoom with the “Peer counselor” , put my seedlings outside for some real sun, ran to Staples to get passport photos taken, came back for a NINETY minute session with the therapist. Then I made dinner for us. Red curry chicken with mixed vegs. Then I brought all of my plants back inside. And ate, and now I’m texting you while half listening to Jeopardy and sometime in the next 40 minutes I’m gonna get up and go back to the computer to do my homework. I am really giving an honest effort here. Today she told me that my homeworks have been the most thorough of anyone she has seen. GOLD STAR! . Does a girl ever get past her desire to please the authority figure? Trauma response.
