So HERE is the OT the recruiter mentioned in early 2020 when I interviewed for the internal transfer.  \ud83d\ude42  No more support-related tasks once I go off to the desert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And I really need my Dirt Family.  They put the thought of working on myself 5 months ago, so I&#8217;m eager to let people know that their love prompted me to realize, to quote an old movie &#8220;my mind was not right,&#8221; and even more significant, the courage to do something about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weekly therapy has been the bonus of spring and summer.  Just talking about a lot of the darker memories of my years with Kevin has helped.  So has, now that I think about it, listening to the life stories of a few different women lately&#8211;Elvira and Carole King&#8211;have made me realize just how easy it is to defer to someone in a relationship even though it brings with it more harm than help.  It&#8217;s not novel to be young and impressionable and dive into something that isn&#8217;t quite right.  I think as the century progresses, we might change that fact.  Oh there I go daydreaming again&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Polynesian dancing is fun and challenging.  My jeans are fitting better, so I think I&#8217;m doing something right.  Trying to eat better, but giving myself the freedom to indulge in my less healthy comfort foods if I want to reward myself for getting getting out of bed that day.  It&#8217;s also getting easier to default to the healthier option, even though all the other stuff would be delicious.  I can&#8217;t eat the way I did in my younger years, and that&#8217;s ok.  It&#8217;ll help me have more of these older years, if I keep it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jennette McCurdy is her generation&#8217;s Christina Crawford.  She&#8217;s also a great writer and I&#8217;m kinda happy that I did not grow up watching her on TV.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Of COURSE as soon as I type a reference to Sammy Davis Jr do I get Michael Jackson&#8217;s &#8220;You Can&#8217;t Win&#8221; from The Wiz.)
