Dear Diary, Three times I have gone into my account to complete this task. Three times, unsuccessfully. Next, I lock myself out of one account. Okay. Until I found out I have to wait for my temporary password to arrive via United States Postal Mail! In my area, the mail is a mess for mostContinue reading “Taxes, aargh!!!”

2021 arrived!
Not only has the year arrived, it seemed to slide in like an old quote I remember. “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally wornContinue reading “2021 arrived!”
Behavioral Health Care Manager
Both Wolf and I work with a behavioral health manager, through a local chapter of a multi-faceted social service organization. We are grateful! We are a great fit and becoming a better team all of the time. Our manager works with us as a couple. Legally, because we are not married, this means we areContinue reading “Behavioral Health Care Manager”

Dear Diary, It is Christmas Day. We are in the truck with nowhere to go. Same as most days. Our abusers are in their houses living well. They have no concerns. They were not the ones who left and they believe they have done no wrong. We cannot go to a shelter because of myContinue reading “December 25, 2020”
Healthy was missing. I did not know.
How can I know, healthy is missing, when I was not taught healthy? As I write those words, I realize they are incorrect, partially. I have had healthy people in my life since birth. What I did not have was either enough of them or they did not have the knowledge to see what andContinue reading “Healthy was missing. I did not know.”
A Dissector and a Fixer
Wolf is the Fixer. For sure. Recently he told me I am a dissector. “Not a science type.” We both laughed because there is surely truth in that. Depending on how you think of science. I am a soft science person. Roles can be dissected. Wolf is hard science through and through. Parts can beContinue reading “A Dissector and a Fixer”
Speechless, over Strengths Perspective
In disclosure, I have my Master’s Degree in Social Work. This did not stop me from being speechless in couples therapy when our therapist said, “Wolf sees you from a strengths perspective.” It is true. We spoke about it. He does see me that way. The quintessential core of social work and until she saidContinue reading “Speechless, over Strengths Perspective”
My Pyrotechnician Internship
First, a pyrotechnician is a person who is able to work with professional grade fireworks. Wolf has been one for over a decade. It is not a full-time job. It is a fun side gig! Over the years, I tried to go to shows and was not able to. (The reasons are beyond the scopeContinue reading “My Pyrotechnician Internship”

Note: This post is out of order. I had hand written it originally. Dear Me, Recently, I have questioned how come I do not go to a shelter. Really questioned it. Any doubt I had was removed when two days ago my therapist noted, the past 3 to 4 sessions, I mentioned my decision notContinue reading “December 6, 2020”
Someone is actively and consciously choosing to protect us
For the first time in three years, I feel believed by a person outside of my treatment team. That is amazing and validating. It may seem ridiculous to you. It used to me also. Yet it is real and for once, I see other people seeing and believing what even the courts and law continueContinue reading “Someone is actively and consciously choosing to protect us”
