Program Changes

i’ve gone from M-F to M-Th at IOP because i have once again signed up for the intro metalsmithing class i started taking in the spring but had to stop because of the hospitalizations. it’s also a way for me to start getting myself places on my own besides just to the therapist and pdoc. i must admit that i almost blew the class off today for the sake of blowing it off–i’m still in somewhat of a withdrawal mode, but i made myself go. yay, me!

i’m having a very hard time writing. every time i finish reading a book i usually write an informal review that i post here and on All Consuming. well, i finished my book a few days ago and have yet to do the writing. i’ve started it, just bullet points and notes and stuff. thing that sucks is that i can’t start reading another book because it’ll make concentrating on the writing worse, and will probably make it hard to remember what i read in the other book. it’s been a real struggle.

Hemingway’s words haunt me: “Well, what is the sense of ruining my head and erasing my memory, which is my capital, and putting me out of business? It was a brilliant cure but we lost the patient…”.

  4. That’s a powerful quote. It sounds like you’re doing better, Barb.

  5. Metal, how cool… I have become a photography junky. I added you to “friends” on flickr.

    Think of you often and still know you will get better soon. And remember, “that which does not kill us makes us stronger.” So you can kick Wonder Woman’s ass, right? :mrgreen:
