I haven’t given up on this blog, either. Or even the long-missing podcast! I don’t know why I haven’t posted in so long, honestly. I’ve been in a very quiet time, but it’s time to leave the shell. I have had more health problems, and I’m on more medications now. I’ve added a wheelchair to the […]
To Clarify
Last night’s entry is not an indicator of any drama happening. In fact, it’s part of warding off drama. If I don’t speak up about being tired of “talking about the relationship(s)” or whatever, I’ll eventually explode, and that WILL be dramatic. Yes, having two primaries requires far more communication, negotiation, and so on than having one. […]
I Am a Bad Poly Person
About all I had to say in our family therapy session tonight is that I’m tired of talking. I’m tired of serious conversations. I’m tired of planning projects. I’m tired of processing, interpreting, mirroring—all of it. I’m just tired. The next time someone says, “Communicate, communicate, communicate” to me, I’m all too likely to recommend that he […]
Dialogue/Monologue
I hate writing something and not getting a response. I’m more interested in dialogue than monologue. Sam says that my writing voice is very authoritative, making it difficult for people to respond. In fact, he said the style is confrontational, “not leaving the door open for anyone else to suggest anything else.” Wow. That’s news to me. […]
Good Day
shadowkatt and I spent much of our day at Three-13 Spa, Salon & Boutique, for both pampering and legitimate school research (for me). For the small group communications class project, the girl took many cool pictures. I interviewed four people. One more visit should be plenty, but we have to manage to get all four team […]
New Phone
shadowkatt and I have new cell phone numbers. Mine is 678–294‑3989
The Good and the Bad
The good: Method cleaners rock. I rock for finding and buying them. So there. I bought a basic array of Method products and left them for the maids to use this week. Not only did the products work well, the maids really, really liked them. And the house smelled not just clean but GOOD. No Pine […]
Project Suggestions?
Yes, I knew that I couldn’t possibly get through a class called Small Group Communications without enduring a group project. There are two. And they make up the vast majority of our grades. I wouldn’t take the class if it weren’t required for the degree. The first project involves watching a small group interact, in […]
School Stuff
I had one class Friday, and three yesterday. Tomorrow I’ll have four, which is going to be one hell of a day. The first course starts at 10 am. I get out at 2:15, run home to get the girl to dance by 4:30, and drive back like a crazy woman for the 6–8:45 class. […]
Navel Gazing
How do I reconcile treating people with respect with enjoying snarking at them when I think it’s deserved? Damn. I’m not sure that I can. Do I have to give up the snark? It’s possible that I should always communicate with ozarque’s guideline about nobody losing face in mind. Hmph. There are times when this whole […]
