Twigs

Still calm... or becalmed... my social life has shrunk to these four walls at my university research office, where I spend all my time now. I wonder my son doesn't keep in touch better, but he's a kid, he needs money... he's working all weekend. I have yet to meet his girlfriend, which I don't mind... Sign in to see full entry.

Fields of Gold

The mood today is... calm. I had a rough few days without the medication, so that's part of it... realising that time is short is another... I must get myself organised. We know about my daily mental house-clearing... do my email (not many people write to me any more, with me going into my shell for... Sign in to see full entry.

Birdwatching

For a mind that's usually so busy, there's little coming into it this morning. I'm not so sure those are Ibises in the tree outside my window here. They look like wading birds, with long legs, and the beak is a bit shorter. My curiosity is piqued. I know someone who would know exactly what they are,... Sign in to see full entry.

Time to go

I won't say home because home for now includes a fold-up bed, and I'm tired. I have lost my prescription for medication that I take to control the anxiety, so I need to get to the medical centre. Part of the reason I folded, the last time I had a run-in with my supervisor, is the feeling that lately... Sign in to see full entry.

Psalm 42

My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God? When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holy day. Why... Sign in to see full entry.

Dreamscapes

I wish I knew where they come from, these puzzling and disjointed dreams I am having this week. A few nights ago I dreamed that we were out with my mother and father, in our car that I no longer have, never had in England, nor while my dad was alive. My son in this dream was a good ten years older... Sign in to see full entry.

All clear?

A good result, the registrar said. All benign (times three). Diagnosis: Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. I'm relieved that it's nothing worse; I'm just puzzled now that this doesn't seem to explain why I put on weight over the last year. I'm as heavy now as when I was nine months pregnant; I have never... Sign in to see full entry.

Coffee

Coffee time soon... so far I have done no work. I've been caught up in the impulse to write, again and not for sending, to this man just trying to sort myself out, letting him see the damage he has done, as a way of letting go. I know who I am, and it's not for him to tell me otherwise. All... Sign in to see full entry.

Ouchy

Things took me a little by surprise a week or two ago when my doctor referred me for an ultrasound on my thyroid and the results showed a number of solid nodules. Endocrinologist on Monday last, and a referral to pathology for FNA and tests on what the nodules might tell us. That was this morning. I... Sign in to see full entry.

And...

Last night, just to mess up the end of the day (joking), I rang my almost-ex husband to touch base. Not the best idea, as it turns out. I asked if he had sent in the necessary paperwork, and reminded him of the email I had sent while he was away saying that I would need some dental and medical... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

I started this blog in 2006, round about the time my 28-year marriage was unravelling. It was difficult for all concerned, even for my ex who handled the situation about as badly as it’s possible to do. The damage is still emerging, when I least expect it. The children are adults and both now live with their father in Australia. After the divorce, the future initially looked bright. It still does, although there are a number of complications. I have a new relationship to nurture, sometimes thrown into confusion through my daughter’s negativity when she visits. I’m a member of the church choir, which is really important to me. I think I’m happy, apart from those moments of conflict and opposition that we can all do without. Time will tell. To quote William Shakespeare: O time, thou must untangle this, not I. It is too hard a knot for me t'untie
