The end of the week

Posted: August 29th, 2003 | Author: Bea | Filed under: Life | 2 Comments »

I’ve been rather scarce this week, mostly because I really don’t think there’s anything interesting going on in my life and well, I could discuss the current world events, but I don’t feel like to. My week has been kind of plain, like I said, except for my visit to the therapist on Tuesday, where she made me run, spin, breathe, hyperventilate, hold my breath… why you ask? Because she wants to expose me to all the physical sensations I have when I’m having a Panic attack, interesting!

So, that’s what I’ve been doing this week, “homework”. I’m also supposed to go out to places with a lot of people to see how my level of anxiety goes. I don’t suffer from agoraphobia YET, but if I didn’t put a stop to the panic/anxiety issues I was surely going to end up there. I’m learning a big deal with this cognitive therapy and one of the things I value the most is all the biological explanations for each symptom and the guarantee that nothing is going to happen to me, that I’m not going to go crazy, things like that. I don’t know how many of my readers are familiar with the Anxiety/Panic Disorder, so here’s a link where you can learn something if you’re interested.

Other than that, I’m here at home, taking care of little things, replying e-mails, writing letters to friends, the usual cleaning and still sending out CVs. Funny that I registered with Jobboom, so they send me options for jobs and today I received one from Urgel Bourgie, a funeral home… No, thanks… Not interested. I don’t go to such places unless it’s absolutely necessary; I associate them with pain, the pain I’ve gone through so many times, so I don’t think it would be wise to even think about getting a job there.

My plans for the weekend? I’m doing laundry today, so guess who’s going to be folding clothes? Moi, exactly. I’m probably heading for Omer DeSerres to get a few things and finally start putting my wedding photos on a nice layout, be a scrapbook or a simple album. I have enough scrapbooking supplies to start for now, all I want are eyelets and photo corners. And I think that’s pretty much it, unless the darling husband wants to do something else.

    Yes, pictures! Oh, come on, Bea, you would do magic working anywhere. Besides, a fully trilingual person, multicultural, PC-literate, intelligent, charming like you ought to have a dream job waiting for you out there somewhere.
    Or we could invoke the powers of the Blogosphere!
