I'm still here

Both Bam and I have been dealing with medical issues...Bam with his eye and me with my knees. I found out today that Bam can keep his eye (he was in grave danger of losing it), my knees are still up for debate (my doctor, or rather his office, is taking their sweet time about getting me scheduled with the proper someone). Bam came out of the vet's office with his head held high!

When I posted it on Instagram, I made a little joke about flerkens and him being so close to being pup-Fury and a member of Pups of S.H.I.E.L.D., but I truly am grateful he didn't have to have his eye removed! I was imaging all kinds of horrible scenarios of it getting infected and the bad things that could come from that! Plus, Bam would look horrible in the cone of shame!

I had taken him to work with me this morning because it's just easier than driving across town, then driving back to get him and driving another direction across town to the vets. I had planned to take him home after the vet (if they didn't get him any heavy-duty meds like last time (because my intern doesn't really care for dogs), but I literally barely got to the vets before work was calling me for an "issue" (yet another reason I haven't been blogging, shock, work).

I tried to get back into therapy, even going so far as to agreeing to go back to office visits, but apparently my insurance only covers 30 visits per year and I've already hit that. If I would have known that, I wouldn't have wasted them all on my "temp therapist" while mine was off on emergency leave! That makes me really angry, but there's not much I can do about it. By the time next year rolls around, I won't be able to go to therapy again because it's been way too long, so any progress I might have made over the past year and a half has been a total waste. I will need to make some medicine decisions, since I won't have access to at least one pretty soon, but it is what it is.

I've also been working on my family tree, but it often requires me to order books, since the information from other users is pretty much useless, so it's taking me FOREVER. But honestly, right now, it's the only joy in my life. Most days though, I'm so tired when I get home from work, I don't work on it like I did at the start. I just bring home a new book that I ordered, and pile it on my desk for my next cramming session, whenever that will be.

And that's about it, my boring, albeit quiet, but stil, here life!

Hi Keiley. So glad Bam didn't have to have surgery. Hang in there. You're one tough cookie. One of these days we will have to do virtual stitching together.

I am so glad to hear that Bam didn't have to lose his eye! And glad to hear from you too. Sounds like life has been a little rougher lately. I really hope things calm down. And just think that the new year is only one month away. Can you set up a therapy appointment for January now and kinda keep yourself in that headspace of actively going so maybe it won't be so hard to get back into it?
At least it was good news about little Bam. I agree with Khristine, book for January, it's not far away now.
I'm glad to see this post - was a little worried after seeing the IG one! So happy about Bam's eye, and hope your knee and therapy issues will be figures out soon as well. At least nest year isn't *too* far off now - maybe it'll still work out?

Happy 13th Blogoversary to the worst blogger ever!

Yep, I'm still here. This is the first time I've touched any blog in months. My focus has been in the "me" world. I have a new therapist and it's still early days, but I'm doing much better both mentally and physically. Work always sucks, so that's already a dead horse. And both pups are still hangin in there. My last post was probably the last time I stitched or at least my last Instragram post was. Maleficent still isn't framed, she's still in her ziploc baggie on the kitchen table. Bad me all around. I'm getting worse at this whole social media thing, what little I do. My job is tech burnout, so by the time I get home, the only tech I touch is my TV. The thought of creating a blog post or human communication in any way is just too much. I do have two vacations coming up, so that's exciting, right? I haven't felt like sharing, so very few people around me know about these. The first is a birthday trip to Boulder, j...

A to Z Challenge - B

PART 1 - JANE AUSTEN ALPHABET-COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BRANDON A much better hero than Edward Ferrars in my opinion PART 2 - MY DISNEY COLLECTION-BOOKS Obviously the age limit on books means very little to me: Do magazines count as books? Well, they are on the book row and they are Disney related, so there you go! There are several more shelves of these and they get more movement than anything else because their weight tends to kill bookshelves rather quickly. It helps to shuffle them around upon occasion to give the poor shelves a breather.

A to Z Reflections Post

I'm going to try not to be as wordy as previous years (but no promises). I did two challenges this year, my Jane Austen Alphabet Cross Stitch project, which is now complete: I haven't gotten it framed yet...heck, I still haven't gotten last year's framed either, so there is no telling when it will get done. Thanks to my friend Tiff for her suggestion of the blue fabric over the brown...she made the right choice I think! There is really nothing more to add on my second challenge, My Disney Collection, other than I have realized that my OCD apparently isn't strong enough to focus me in one particular direction. I like to think I have a Duck Room and a Princess/Villains room, but it's more like a Duck/Stitch/Parks room, a Mickey Bathroom, a Disney-themed kitchen, a living room filled with various objects, and a Princess and Villains bedroom. I don't think as a whole, they look so bad, it just looked a bit hoarderish when I divided them up into categori...
