The Tools to Surmount

I should have written earlier. Or skipped writing tonight. I have to be up in 5 hours, ugh. Annie has an appointment at Children's Hospital in Tacoma because of her headaches. She's being referred to a neurologist just to make sure she doesn't have a brain tumor (I assume). I don't think she does. The medication the gave her for her migraines seems to be helping. But who wants to take the chance?

I had another great day off today. I slept in, went to therapy, and after that we took the little kids to Point No Point to walk on the beach and enjoy nature. Other than being freezing cold by the open sound, it was a gorgeous day. I love Washington in the Spring and Summer months (Fall and Winter are okay, just a little wet). This place definitely feels like home. I'm glad Snookums and I decided to settle here after he left active duty.

I'm still basking in the glow of positivity. You know you're doing well when you don't go into therapy with a laundry list of things you need to discuss with your therapist. Part of me is starting to feel like I can handle this on my own. The other (more rational) side knows that there are still things I need help working out. I'm doing better because I have her help. Without her, there's a good chance I may come across a stumbling block I don't currently possess the tools to surmount. I still need therapy. Just like you wouldn't stop taking antibiotics just because symptoms are starting to wane. I've got to trust the process.

I need to try and get some sleep. Tomorrow is going to be such a long day.
