It's been a while
Let's see...
Work
Too stressful by far. I'm dealing with a lot of Parenting Capacity files, which aren't quite as easy as the "look don't beat your child ok" files. They are complicated and twisting and emotionally draining. I have 4 right now out of a total of 24 files on my Db. It's too much. These are the ones that end up in court cause the parent just doesn't get it.
Health
Emotional - see above. The anxiety is climbing. I'm going up another 1/2 pill on my Cipralex. We'll see what that does. I'm not sleeping through and my doc is concerned. She's referring me for a sleep study (btw, I need local clinics to be referred to), as well as a mood disorders/psychologist referral (which I also need a local) in order to assess a few other things. She thinks the sleep issues are coming from an apnea, and that's why I wake up so abruptly, and never wake up feeling "rested."
Oh and you can tell it's getting bad when I'm not writing here or on paper...that's a bad sign. However, on the good side, I have lots of fodder for the "passive ideation of the month" contest!!
Physical
I'm recuperating from the whiplash. It's a slow go. Long drives (1hr or so) cause havoc, I discovered on Tuesday. Today's massage therapy session was just focussed on getting us back to where we were at the end of last session. I spoke with WSIB and they're allowing me 10 weeks of RMT treatment and the time off work to have it done if Work insists on my using my comp/banked hours. Basically the office will have to choose. Either authorize the time off as part of my normal schedule, or put into WSIB for my lost time. The pain makes me pretty crunchy at times and I'm sad for Kat who doens't alway's understand why I don't want to play. It feels like I'm always sick anymore and I hate that.
On the flip side, I've agreed to attempt to teach another session of belly dance. I do love teaching...though I was particularly glad I didn't have to this week.
Household
Some good some bad. There's something comforting to coming home and having people here. Not coming into an empty house. There's something awesome about getting Kat down and not being afraid to run out for a few errands afterwards.
There's some bad to coming home and having people here. Sometimes you want to come home to an empty house. There's growing pains. We all see this as "not a long term" solution, but it's viable for now and there's no firm deadlines set.
Parenting
I'm reading Harville Hendrix's parenting book. I can't remember what it's called but I wish I could bash the contents into the heads of all my clients!!!!
My daughter routinely flabbergasts me with her insight, sense of humour, courtesy and charm. While I watched her regale the hair dresser today with tales of Singapore, and school, tears came to my eyes. Sometimes you really can love someone so much your heart breaks.
I'm proud of the child she is, and the person she will become.
Relationships
I'm dating and chatting. Still seeing![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
curgoth about one time per month, gmhedon when the weather co-operates!! knotty_mark when the stars align, k_calypso every chance I get, and widget666 every once in a while.
I'm also talking to people online and on the phone that I'm interested in checking out in person. I like my freedom, but spend a great number of evenings asleep by 10pm!!!!
