Is a body REALLY necessary?
I had a difficult session with BN yesterday and left not feeling too great. Through no fault of his, or mine for that matter, I realize when I can manage some objectivity, just the subject matter that came up. I’m writing about it here to try and sort through some of what happened and what it is I am feeling and fearing.
If you have been reading my recent posts, you know I have been dealing with a lot of medical issues as of late. Continue Reading>
Emerging from the drug haze
Trigger warning: Suicidal thoughts
Greetings, gentle readers, I have missed you. I am sorry for the long silence. My doctor, in what turned out to be a VERY frustrating experience, as part of the treatment for my back/hand numbness problem put me on a drug (which shall remain nameless as I know not everyone reacts the same to this class of drugs and I don’t want to prejudice anyone against it since they might not have the same experience) which had very bad side effects which took some time to figure out. And yes, as usual, the Boundary Ninja was a huge help. Turns out that a therapist who has a deep interest in neurobiology can be a lifesaver. 🙂 Continue Reading
My first ever blog award!!
Yes, Gentle Readers, I will confess that I am very excited (and not a little flattered) that Purple Dreamer has recognized me with my very first ever blog award, the Wonderful Team Member Readership Award. First, I would like to say thank you to Purple Dreamer for being so gracious as to bestow upon me this honor as I feel like her contribution here has far outweighed mine on her blog, so now I am doubly in her debt. Secondly, there are requirements for the award, which I fulfill below.
The Rules
1. The Nominee of the Wonderful Team Member Readership Award will display the logo on his/her post/page and/or sidebar. – Look just above. 😀 Continue Reading
I’m back (and in one tanned piece!)
Greetings Gentle Readers!
I have missed you all! So sorry for the worries over hurricane Sandy; thank you to everyone who wrote and was concerned. The only effect it had on our cruise was to delay us leaving port by several hours because the ship we were on was late getting into port because of the storm (by all accounts they had quite the harrowing time the night before. One waiter told us that if someone told us they weren’t scared, they were lying). Our first night at sea was a bit sloshy so to speak (I didn’t have anything to drink so I kept wondering why it was so hard to walk :)) but sleeping was wonderful because it felt like you were in a giant cradle. Our itinerary was changed a few times, but they did a brilliant job of avoiding bad weather. We had a wonderful cruise during which we did very little, which was lovely. Ironically, we were much more worried about our family, as my older daughter attends college in New York city. But both her college and dorm are much further uptown and she suffered only a very short power outage, and was thankfully otherwise safe and unaffected, unlike so many others. I have a number of friends and loved ones who were in the path of the storm and are only now getting power back and my thoughts and prayers are with everyone so hard hit by this disaster.

Promise Soon Come
Greetings Gentle Readers,
I am still alive and on the planet. 🙂 I was working very long hours getting a beta release out the door, virtually up until the moment I left for a vacation with my very neglected dear husband (don’t feel too sorry for me as I am writing this pool side). My apologies to everyone who commented and have waited all this time for a reply, I do like to be slightly more timely than this but barely had time to bathe and eat. As important as I think it is to respond, which is very, NOT smelling was higher on my priority list. 🙂 I will be on vacation for another 10 days or so the last 8 of which I will be completely without internet access so I just wanted everyone to be aware that if you email or post a comment during that time, I will neither receive, read or be able to reply. When I return, life should be back to a much more normal schedule and I hope to return to more regular posting. In the meantime, I hope everyone takes good care and I look forward to returning rested, and refreshed.
Happy 1st Birthday Tales
It has been a very long, sucky, painful day, full of misunderstandings and hurts, some caused by me, to my regret and some inflicted on me. (Yay!! While I was working on this, someone did an amazing thing and was vulnerable and we’re repairing it. Great now I’m going to short out my keyboard!) So I am more grateful than I can say to come here to my blog to celebrate a very happy milestone for me, and hopefully for some of you. 🙂 Tales of a Boundary Ninja is one year old today. This is my first blog and I was both excited and terrified putting up those first posts, not quite believing anyone would actually want to read what I had to say. Continue Reading
Working Through
Greetings Gentle Readers,
First, may I say thank you so much for all the encouragement and support from everyone? Knowing I am not alone, knowing that there are safe people, that there are people I can trust now, has been a bulwark against the myriad of memories being dredged up. I have so appreciated all of you who have come alongside of me with your care, concern and kind words, it has helped so very much.
