My Forgotten Blog

Wow! It has been so long since I have been here.  So much time has past.  There is so much to say or maybe not say.  Life is full of twists and curves. It just gets harder. I did finish my year at UHCL and came back to Lee College to finish the Alcohol and Substance Abuse Program, so school will be out after tomorrow.  To be certified, I have 300 hours of practicum to do, I hope to get to go to the prison to do.
I also have 2,500 hours to do an internship somewhere, hopefully, I will get to stay at the prison and internship is paid.  So that will be the actual turning point of my life.  If I am able to get through this or am I too disabled to stay in one place or keep a job.  Will I fall apart?  It is a big question.  Anyway, I have to take the major test for the Licensed LCDC of Texas.  I will take the State exam and I will be able to practice as a state licensed substance abuse and alcohol counselor.  So finishing the practicum gives me my certification and finishing the test and the internship will give me my Associate Degree again from Lee College, just a different study.  The last one was Social Work but when Mama and Mr. Bobby went out I changed it to Social Science Degree because I wanted nothing to do with hospice.  I had tunnel vision at the time.  So I should have left it alone but of course, I didn't.

Fighting depression, bi-polar symptoms, borderline personality disorder and PTSD, I think I have done quite well.  So while doing my practicum I will be taking and finishing my senior year at UHCL online classes majoring in Psychology.  Then my psychologist told me to go ahead and finish my Bachelor Degree since I already have half of it behind me.  Then get my Masters in Social Work.  That will open my horizons more.  I am 61 years old, hopefully, I will have time to open many horizons.
Today is May 10, 2016
And I don't know what else to put right now.

UNCLUTTERING YOUR LIFE, IS THAT LIKE UNCLUTTERING MY FEELINGS?

🙏🙏🙎🙌🙊🙉🙈🙀😿😹😭😳😬😫😩😧😞😠😡😢😘😖😕😐😏😎😍😌😊 Despite many attempts to de-clutter my life, I cannot for the life of me, throw out my sons' homework in elementary and my letters that were written from my other son.  I just cannot de-clutter.  I start one project then it all overcomes me.  Somehow the clutter comes back in different disarrays of what it was to begin with just stuck in different nooks and crannies of my self consciousness. And in my chaotic house. What I didn't realize was that the emotional highs, lows and plateaus of everyday life are causing me to hold on to a lot of unnecessary stuff. The first step is to eliminating my clutter is understanding the psychological reasons behind it.  That doesn't really help me though. Untidiness can affect more than my sanity and my surroundings--it impacts my health as well.  When things are chaotic, my body releases an excess of stress hormones cortisol. Too much cortisol can make it...

MAYBE THEY SHOULD JUST BE THROWN AWAY MAYBE NOT Hello Judy, What's up? How is Fred doing? I told you I was on my way.  I tried to call GB but he wasn't at home.  I hope he did what he was suppose to do on the shoes and supplies. I really need you in my corner this time.  If its no more than writing me a letter a week or every two weeks. I have been gone 3 days now and it seems like 3 months. I guess I've gotten soft in my days.  By the way, I'm at the Holiday. I have been in seg from day one. I don't know what I have on my record but I have never been in seg.  I'm in a cell by myself. I'm feed through a pan hole and I have to be handcuffed to go take a shower. I have to be here 6 days to get 1 hour of rec or t.v. They say I 'm in transit but I have never heard such a thing. I can't make commissary for at least 2 weeks. This is our business, not Lee's or anyone else.  I know you have a bad habit of telling your business but I...

This and That as I clean out my Clutter

Thinking of all the things I need to do before my death.  I probably need to de-clutter which is going to take some time.  There are so many ideas and dreams and things I don't want lost.  Some recipes handed down and what not.  Some ideas I never got around to doing, etc. I think of when we measured the height as we grew but the houses are no longer there.  The little handprints I have kept, all the little report cards, and papers I can't seem to let go of. One of the best ideas would be a hand print wall cover and autographed by the persons for memories. Tokens of forever-jewelry passed from generation to generation. They carry the sense of eternal. Another thing for my blog to carry on as my son should happen across it. Please visit the Holocaust Museum in Houston, Texas. The mission of the Holocaust Museum in Huston is to promote awareness of the dangers of prejudice, hatred and violence against the backdrop of the Holocaust, which claimed the lives ...
