I'm on my lunch break til 1:05. Ask me anything!

[rbnyc]

It's been a long time since I did an ask me anything thread. I'm on my lunch break now at the community center. There's a lot going on here today. We're celebrating the 30th anniversary of Gay Community News, and the seniors are having their monthly social.

Ask me anything!

:hi:

1. How you doing?

3. Hi sweety!

Not too bad. I'm getting a lot better at going up and down stairs. I try to use them as much as possible actually. I walked 5 whole blocks the other night too, so I am getting a lot stronger. I do have a lot of pain tho, and I've been having flashbacks to waking up in the mangled car, which is not cool, so I'm thinking of going for cognitive bevioral therapy. The scars on my right arm trigger the flashbacks. I see the scars, and then I see my arm the way it was when I first woke up in that car, and I have all those feelings. It sucks. But mostly, I'm pretty good.

:loveya:

7. I'll be sending out the vibes

I know you have the strength to get though this.

8. Thanks.

I saw my doctor yesterday. He says I have PTSD and that cognitive therapy sounds like a good idea for me. He was very sympathetic and not surprised that I'd be having some PTSD symptoms given the nature of the accident, the timing, and the loss. He said it was a pretty normal reaction.

Thanks for the vibes.

5. Hey!

Whatchya eatin?

I'm considering making my way downstairs to get some breakfast, but I'm in college, so breakfast probably means spaghetti, which doesn't sound too appealing right now.

[rbnyc]

6. I'm actually not eating anything...

...cause I had breakfast at my desk at 10 am. I'll probably swipe some food from the senior social later this afternoon.

[Rashind]

9. Fair enough...

I'm impressed that you were up early enough for breakfast.

I, on the other hand, might just go back to bed.

[rbnyc]

10. I'm up at 7 am every Saturday and Sunday....

...and I open the community center at 9. On my days off, however, I almost always sleep past noon.

;-)

[Rashind]

11. Gah!

Last time I was up at 7 AM, I was still up. Did I mention I hate college? Stupid papers hitting all at once... :dunce:

[flama]

15. I remember a little girl . . .

who always wanted to sleep past noon - especially on school days.

;-)

:loveya:

Ma

P.S. I get up at 5 or 5:30 on work days. Keep dem work days coming!

12. I was just thinking about you and the whole ask me anything

started with you when you were taking breaks at the glbt center, just thinking this about a half hour ago. And here you are.

So, am I psychic?

[rbnyc]

13. a little bit.

well, back to work.

:loveya:

14. Why don't some of my piano students bother calling to let me know...

...they won't be able to come to their lesson? It happened two weeks ago, and it happened again today. Waste of my time.

[flama]

16. As usual, I missed your ask me anything post

It's always good to read them, though, and hope you check after your late mother climbs aboard.
