Last night was therapy. The last one for a few weeks, because she’s going on a (well deserved) vacation. Arguably, during the worst time of year (for me), but it is what it is. My birth son’s birthday is officially less than a month away. And I am just…all up in my feels about it.

My head isn’t a fun place to be in this morning. It’s dark, it’s scary, it’s fragile… Last night my husband and I had therapy together with both of of therapists. So, it was all 4 of us together. We’ve been talking about doing this for a while, and I’m glad it happened. It was

Yesterday was a whole day. All of them seem to be lately. As always for a Monday, it ended with therapy. For some reason I was more nervous than normal going into it, but I think that’s just because I was feeling some pretty intense things, and that doesn’t always translate super well. We talked

For the first time since before Christmas, this is a Monday that truly feels like a Monday. Between holidays and the flu and winter storms, Mondays have been weird for a while now. But this morning finally feels…normal. And honestly, I’m happy to see it. It’s a rainy day…my favorite kind of day, and I’m
