It’s 7:32 on Sunday morning. I know this means this can’t be my Saturday blog, but I haven’t slept yet, so it still could be my Saturday blog. I had forgotten that I even needed to blog until 11:48 pm last night. By then I decided to just to work on my book. I can’t …

Dealing with it
Thursday I was busy being wooed by the most wonderful man on Earth and therefore did not blog. I am unrepentant. Yesterday, I got to spend the afternoon with Tina. We got to talk about life, books, and my writing. Of course, she gave me an idea that I think will make my current project …

Threads
We’ve had several rough days. Yesterday was personally the suck. My positivity is my defense mechanism. When things are scary or uncertain, I try to find the best of every situation. I acknowledge the ways things can go horribly wrong, but I focus on doing everything I can to make sure things go well. My …

Little Bit of Truth
Turns out I was depressed. This shouldn’t come as a surprise. I spent nearly two weeks under almost constant stress without being able to take my Prozac properly. I hadn’t had a good night sleep since before Mother’s Day. I hurt my shoulder, and I’ve had a headache since Saturday. My hormones are whacked out. …

*Zombie Selina*
I don’t know what the hell my problem is. I am exhausted and cannot get enough sleep. It’s starting to tick me off. I blame the disruption this month and my sinuses. So my feet swelled up like parade balloons. It has almost never happens to me. I tried to convince the Viking’s best friend …

Day 11
Today is day eleven in the hospital. I’m noticing things. You grow more comfortable with discussions about bodily functions.

The New Normal (for at least a while)
Today has been this strange dichotomy of personal and public worries and happiness. I have felt strange since yesterday because my focus is still on my father. It seems small and selfish, but he is my father. He is well. We hope to finally be going home tomorrow. That is one part of me. The …

This Day
Oh, Lord, this day. It has been one hell of a day. My father has been in the hospital since Monday. I’ve been here most of the time, too. By most of the time, I mean until tonight I had only left this hospital for two hours to take a shower at Tina’s house. This …

Eternal Optimism
I shot myself in the foot with the boring and calm comments. Things went all wonky again Monday. I’m having a hard time believing it is only Wednesday. Things are not nearly as bad as last time. More than just that we are in a wonderful hospital that is a lot more comfortable, better food, …
