I found this note that my mom wrote to herself. It’s one of the rare instances in which she dated something she wrote. It reads: My life is going to change this week. I talk about positive, realistic, rational affirmation having a physiological response. The only time I lost a significant amount of weight and […]
I found a file on mom’s old computer hard drive named Wal-Mart Benches Letter.doc and dated November 8th, 2003. It looks like mom helped her mother write a letter to the manager of the Wal-Mart near the assisted living facility where Nana was living at the time. Nana was such an activist! I wonder if […]
It’s been forever since I wrote last. Lots of things have stayed the same, some have changed. I didn’t have the colonoscopy in November. It was much later than that and it was okay. Now I’m facing a D&C, ugh, because my uterine wall has thickened. She doesn’t think she’ll find anything, but she wants […]
July 9, 2003 Ms. Marnie Feasel Alesys Corporation Progress Center Gainesville, Florida Dear Marnie, Thank you for contacting me regarding the Editor/Production Team Leader position you have available at this time. I am very interested in talking with you about this opportunity and will be happy to discuss your needs and my qualifications some […]
7/4/03 David, This was actually in the bag with your Gator stuff. I almost threw it away and then I realized it was a postcard. Anyway, I thought you might like it. Hope you liked the silly Gator stuff … The neighbors are setting off lots of fireworks. That used to drive Reebok crazy! Anyway […]
Here’s a letter mom wrote in early 2003 to the billing department of Horizon Healthcare Center, one of the assisted living facilities where my grandmother lived. I don’t know if she actually printed this and mailed it to them, although I assume she did.
Jen is home and David is coming the 22nd — for a whole week. I’m having a colonoscopy Tuesday. Ugh. I guess I think all will be well, but, just in case — David & Jen, I loved you before you were born. You are the light and hope of my life — and you […]
It’s been a long time, but I wanted to write down what Susan said today. She said: “Challenge your irrational thoughts!” What a concept! David and [redacted] are coming for Christmas from the 22nd to the 30th! And I’m off all those days! Wow! Now, if we could only come up with some money! With […]
It has been a long time since I’ve even thought about writing … I’ve gained back the 23 pounds I lost before Jen & I went to Rhode Island. I’m also stressed, having problems breathing, and tired all the time. I’ve been feeling as if there’s nothing I can do about it — ever. But […]
I feel pretty sad today. Jen breezed in and out like a wraith and I can’t believe how much I already miss her. I won’t see her again for almost two months. God, I’m so alone! I never seem to lose weight — I can’t find enough money — and I’m so alone. But I […]
