Is She Off???

Still haven't packed for the road trip. The 2 bitch (me and my dog. Only one of us is A REAL bitch. The other is an honorary bitch.) expeditions are as simple as packing gets. Planning to motel it, so I don't even need to inventory the camping gear. Just need the basics. It would be hard to use up a whole hour for the packing. The planned destination is only about 6 hours away, so the driving pressures are not significant.

The dialogues about what my road trips mean to the various members of the homestead have been worth hanging around for.

Just procrastinating????

Reading your post is me exactly. I can plan all kinds of things to do, that is not the problem....procrastinating is!! It all starts by picking a date to go....put a calendar on the wall and throw a dart! The good thing is there is no rush for your trip, so wait until you are ready.

Nah, I think it's more like reassurance in a way---knowing how they feel so you won't return to any unexpected pit traps, maybe? As for when you leave, hey, you leave when you leave.

Cheers,

Flight has been my go-to PTSD solution. If my ifs are in alignment, my flight pattern started with logics as infantile as, "Inside bad. Outside good. Go." By the time I reached therapy, my flight pattern was intercontinental.

The diff between, "Running from" and "Going to" has been a critical contemplation in healing my personal dysfunctions. I am thinking it is a good thing that I am hanging out for the extra day. So far. Besides, it turns out that hubs took a vacation day today. He claims he told me, but I forgot. Possible. I have been losing allot of little things lately.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
