We are off to Disneyland today. My house is hotel clean...like every cup, plate and bowl is in the cupboard and NOT in the dishwasher...bedrooms or living room. It is nice...and weird.
Roger and I deal with the morning of "leaving on holiday" stress differently. I pack, re-pack and contemplate a bigger suitcase. He arranges the cutlery drawer and does laundry, putting the Kleenex in the garbage before you are even done blowing your nose. He likes order, cleanliness and no food going bad in the fridge. I like way too many trips up the stairs because I forgot something, blogging when I should be packing the car and leaving my bed unmade.
In a nutshell, we work well together.
lol
I am looking forward to the trip, we are going with a huge amount of family members. There will be copious amounts of alcohol, swimming, laughing, screaming on rides and trick or treating when we are there. I cannot wait.
On the dark side, I am going to let those of you know that subscribe to me, that I have deleted past posts. I had some backlash on my openness in how I talk about mental health, and the relationships that I have with my patients at work. While i did not breach any confidentiality or privacy, the stink eye that i was feeling was enough to make me rethink. Part of me deleted out of spite, but in the end, I am the one that has to face my own reflection in the mirror each night, and although i deleted on "paper" how I felt, in all honesty, it did not change my perception on how mental illness in the senior world is dealt with.
After a few days of analyzing (read fretting) on how to approach my blog, I have realized one big fat fact.
I care too much what people think.
So fuck it. (sorry mom)
This is my space, my rambling thoughts, and so here it is. New and newsworthy.
I'm back!!!
