Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

Another Month Gone By

February 28, 2021

As it happens, my last post was a month ago. I wrote two posts early in February but never posted them. I think I just worry too much about what it looks like and who it might offend (seriously??) and so I don’t do anything. I need to get over that because I am a writer. Then again, creative people are very hard on themselves and their work. Anywho – here’s the lowdown of the month that was February.

Very early in the month I had a health scare. Taking care of myself over the last 5 years just wasn’t a priority and so I find myself with the same problem again and more serious this time. I have a new doctor and a new therapist. I also need a dietician – I’m hoping my doctor knows one. This Wednesday I go in for a complete blood workup and we’ll see how bad everything is. If I’d just stayed the course I wouldn’t be starting at square one again. I’m also scared – scared that maybe it isn’t fixable this time. I have to hope it’s all going to be okay.

I decided to simplify my spiritual reading for Lent – Bible and Catechism only. And I’m re-reading the gospels. It actually fits with where I’m at in the Catechism too – Life In Christ. I’m getting a daily email devotional from the Daughters of St. Paul on Memento Mori – Remember Your Death – as well. The one part I really need to do is listen to the examen meditation each night. I think it would be a great way to end my day.

Speaking of meditation, I’m reading “Eat, Pray, Love” again. I read it a few years ago and loved it. I tried to get into it last year but couldn’t. However, I pulled it off the library shelf a week ago and started reading on a night I couldn’t sleep. Apparently, this is the perfect time to be reading it again.

We had a two week stint of brutal winter weather. We came out on the other side beat up but thankful. Luckily, we don’t live in Texas – my heart really goes out to everyone there. What they are going through is always a fear whenever ice and 15 inches of snow are mentioned here.

In my last post I mentioned wardrobe issues and my disillusionment with Stitch Fix. So, I decided to try Nordstrom Trunk Club. I think it may be a good fit. The thing I like best is the customer gets far more input on what they send you than Stitch Fix. If you don’t like the stylist pick, you can swap it for something else. I did that with the jeans and ended up with a pair I love. My next trunk is in April and I’m really looking forward to it.

Tomorrow is March 1 and I’m ready for a new month. I’m ready for spring. I’m ready to see green in the landscape again and flowers. Robins are in abundance now and this morning many were chirping to my delight. I’m ready.

So that was February 2021 in all it’s oh crapness. My therapist wants me to write down 1, 3, and 6 month goals. I always hesitate to do that because the minute I do there’s a crisis here. But I wrote a few (easy) things down for this month. I just don’t want to tempt fate by getting too optimistic for 3 and 6 month goals. Guess I need to talk with her about that.

Peace be with you all and see you soon.
