Weekend Update

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I had high hopes for getting a lot done this weekend, figuring since I would be laid up somewhat for the weekend after the surgery, I could drag out the laptop and do some things.

I highly underestimated the power of Vicodin to knock me out cold. So, instead of being laid up and working, I’ve been laid up and sleeping, a lot!

That being said, the surgery went well, and aside from sleepiness and the occasional discomfort, the after-effects haven’t been all that bad. We’ll see how the work day tomorrow goes!

    Dealing with Change and Challenges

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    We have spent so much of our lives trying to survive, and protect ourselves, that the confidence that comes from making our own decisions, or overcoming new challenges is a foreign concept. We want nothing less than to have anything change, and yet life is all about change. We can’t avoid change, we can only learn to deal with it.

    It’s Hard to Have Hope Right Now

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 4 minutes

    We need each other now, as always. We need our community. We need our connections. We need to know that we are not alone in this. So, let me, in the midst of my own exhaustion, do this one thing. If you’re feeling hopeless, angry, anxious, depressed, etc. because of the state of the world, or the state of your job, the losses you’ve suffered, the issues you are fighting for, the struggle to hang on to hope, you are not alone. I am with you. I see you. I share your exhaustion, frustration, anger, and your need for rest. Whether we’ve talked about this personally, or if you’re simply holding this all in and trying to keep it together, I see you. I’m with you. We are together in this, and we should share the little bits of hope with each other. They may be hard to see, but the more of us who are dedicated to looking for them, and sharing them, the more of it we’ll draw strength from.

    Gee has it really been a whole week since I posted anything here? That can only mean one thing, I’ve been living on the logical, analytical side non stop lately! Actually I have been. Between job hunting, holidays, working, and playing with a bunch of beta software in order to increase my skill set, I’ve…

  • More about goals

    Following up on that last post, I want to expound on a couple of things. Both of them have to do with personal responsibility. The first is something that should be obvious, but I know isn’t to many people. It wasn’t obvious to me for almost 30 years. 🙂 As we’ve already discussed, you can’t…

  1. Mike: I’m sorry to hear about the dissociating. I hope the procedure and after-effects went better than anticipated. I know, those old habits ARE hard to break.

    Hey, I’m sorry if my distractions may have led you to believe I was blowing off the Nov. blog carnival. Don’t worry, I’m not. When would be a good time for you? Maybe before Thanksgiving, no? E-mail me and I’ll get you all set up at Blog Carnival dot com. thriver&survivorscanthrive.com Thanks! (Hey, and thanks for all the links and the support lately–even tho the post I have up right now is a doosey, I am actually starting to pull myself up out of the mire.)

  2. No the after affects weren’t as bad as they could have been, so I’ve been lucky in that regard. And the process has been an interesting one, I’ve learned a lot that I had no idea about, but I doubt I’ll write too many details on here..*L*

    You’ll be getting an email from me shortly about the Carnival! Glad to hear things are improving for you!
