George’s Tree

November 25, 2015RoryCoping Skills, Daily Update, DeathCoping Skills, George, Grief

Today I got to see some of George’s family. His sister and her family were here visiting George’s mom. Jenny and I swung over to say hi before they left town again, and to see the new addition. George’s mom and step-dad had a beautiful Sycamore planted in his honor on their terrace. (Pictured above)

Mental Illness is Not a Halloween Costume

October 30, 2015RoryDaily UpdateHalloween2 Comments

This isn’t cute. It’s not funny, creative or original. It’s a cruel jab at a part of the population dealing with serious issues. Seriously, someone give this woman a prize for awesome make-up, and encourage her to find an appropriate costume. Do anything else. Those kids would have been great zombies or something, you know,

Sometimes You Have to Tell Your Therapist No!

October 22, 2015RoryCoping Skills, Daily UpdateTherapist, Therapy2 Comments

I love therapy. I love it to bits. My therapist is kind and funny, and brings me out of my shell. Sometimes, though, she puts me on the defensive. I’m going to talk to her about it today, but I wanted to share with you guys while it’s on my mind. Sometimes, at the end

Seriously, doesn’t that have a nice ring to it? Our family decided to study German together, and I get to be in charge, well, not really. Hooray for German, though! It counts for homeschool, but it’s also for our eventual time in Europe. Jenny and I will spend at least a year travelling in Europe

Fixing Pictures on the Wall is Not OCD

October 10, 2015RoryDaily UpdateDavid Malki!, Meme, Wondermark

One of my pet peeves when I am in my house (or one I am intimate with), is when someone comments on me fixing a picture frame, or tidying something that’s not directly in the way. It just feels good to do it, that’s all. It’s not a matter of dread, or obsession. It’s just

Because There's Nothing More Rational Than Brownies

October 9, 2015RoryDaily UpdateDaily Update, Food

We have 2 potlucks to attend this weekend, and we need food to take. Jenny has also had the amazing idea of making three batches of brownies with our three kinds of cocoa powder. The solution? Three batches of brownies for a compare/contrast! Hellllllooooo lunch! Now, I know I’ve talked about not eating too much

We're Sorry, We're Cancelling Your Insurance

October 6, 2015RoryDaily UpdateHealth Care, Insurance, Mental Health Care2 Comments

Srsly guys. A couple of weeks ago, I got a letter saying that my health insurance provider wasn’t going to cover me any more. I just about had a heart attack. I called all my providers, and they were all like, “Don’t worry about it. It’s happening to everyone.” After I stopped shaking my head

What Everyone Should Know About the ICD-10-CM

October 4, 2015RoryDaily Update, Must KnowHealthcare, ICD-10-CM4 Comments

The ICD-10-CM is a coding system that healthcare providers use to identify a range of illnesses. There has been a lot of confusion and debate about the implementation of the use of this manual world-wide. I keep being told by under-informed “helpful” people that the way I get healthcare is changing, and that offices will be prevented from
