It's Been A Very Long Time

The last post was in December 2006. WOW! I could use the excuse of school again, and it wouldn't be soooo far off. This semester was tough, but it had nothing to do with the classes. It had to do with a recent diagnosis. Well, not actually the diagnosis, rather the illness itself. You see, I've been diagnosed as having dysthymia , or long-term depression, and anxiety . Another great big WOW! Of course, it explains a lot--especially the absence from here--and many other places, believe me...Read Full Story

today really is a blah-damn day. went downtown to the outdoor showing of "on the waterfront" with marlon brando. hadn't seen it in YEARS. thank goodness we've come a long way in filming and scriptwriting, altho it is a classic. but didn't even get home til 12:30am, and then not asleep til 1 or 2, which is sooooo late for this old girl. so, from previous posting " cat corner " you can see, rocky and lola seem to be getting on a little better.Read Full Story

Little Emotional Barometers

Any guess what the title is referring to? Children. In a forum I frequent (OK, the only forum I frequent), someone posted about hiding her sadness from her children.

After an upsetting phone call with a family member, I sat down and cried. Wesley noticed, said, "Mommy's sad," and broke into tears himself. He looked terrified. Rather than wipe away my tears...Read Full Story

By sakamato on | From sakamato.blogspot.com

After losing a family member through their own negligence and inability to see clear signs that this person was in extreme distress, leaves them in so deep a hole that there is no escape. As far as I know their marriage has survived this tragedy but, then again, one wonders how stable it is. It would seem that the mother would have considered the oldest daughter (the one who committed suicide) to be the black sheep of the family as it reminded her of her first failed marriage.

Winter Chills Answer to Summer Prayers

By dkchi on | From dkchi.blogspot.com

Right now, January 15, 2008 in Chicago, IL it is 25 degrees, but feels like 20. Living on the shores of Lake Michigan, it looks like a frigid hinterland outside the door. In preparation for the new (and last) semester at college, I've been cleaning and organizing my computer files. I've never asked, but I'm hoping that I'm not the only writer who has 3 and 4 rewrites of the same piece. During this exploratory operation, I discover a piece from the dog days of last summer that only too well...Read Full Story
