My psych nurse gave specific instructions to Brad to buy me something to help me get over the thought that I’m not worthy of using any resources. For those who don’t know, I’ve been struggling a lot lately with thoughts that I’m not worthy of using up resources like time, […]
On Tuesday we had a puppy shower! Several of my NAMI friends and Brad’s family came over and helped us celebrate the impending arrival of puppy! Sorry it’s taken so long to get this blog entry up– it took a little bit to get pictures edited, and then I haven’t […]
On Monday, some of my service dog friends were nice enough to meet up with me to help ensure Hestia is around some stable dogs after her attack. A couple of people forgot, and a couple of people cancelled, so it was just three of us (plus Brad!) total. But […]
