PollyAnna's Divorce: April 2013

http://pollyannasdivorce.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html

Tuesday, April 9, 2013. Readers, I've missed you. I've missed coming here, and thinking life through on paper (pixels) and having chats with you in the comments. But I do not define myself as a divorcee - I'm so much more than that - and I'm no longer struggling with the same set of problems that PollyAnnasDivorce was about. So - I've moved! Soon, I'll put up new posts, about my new life, post-divorce but not defined by divorce. Please join me there at http:/ pollyannashines.blogspot.com. I remember the ...

PollyAnna's Divorce: And so it is

http://pollyannasdivorce.blogspot.com/2013/02/and-so-it-is.html

Saturday, February 9, 2013. And so it is. Tonight Bryan and Katherine came over to pick up some items she'd forgotten. He was impatient from the get-go. He was snappy. He was rude to me. He was rude to our daughter. She got a bit flustered, but she's kind of used to it, and so I thought it was okay. Note: it is NOT okay. Nobody is allowed to talk to my daughter like that - nobody. But he does. Frequently. And she cried. She said, "I don't know why he yelled at me.". I can not make that right for her.

PollyAnna's Divorce: Surgery update: Scar tissue?

http://pollyannasdivorce.blogspot.com/2013/02/surgery-update-scar-tissue.html

Monday, February 4, 2013. Surgery update: Scar tissue? I am home, and thanks to my friend Lorazepam, I'm feeling pretty good. Woozy and strange but not anxious. The procedure was pretty quick. It hurt a little bit, which means that I must be getting some nerves back, which is a good thing! But ouch.) The doctor thinks it's scar tissue. Scar tissue - isn't that beautiful sounding? He told me he wouldn't worry. Still praying that it's just scar tissue. February 4, 2013 at 4:48 PM. March 17, 2016 at 10:50 PM.

PollyAnna's Divorce: New Chapters

http://pollyannasdivorce.blogspot.com/2013/02/new-chapters.html

Tuesday, February 19, 2013. When I first started this blog, I had no idea how I was going to craft my life. I was desperate to escape my unhealthy marriage, coming out of cancer treatment, unemployed, with next to no savings and way too much debt. In the header, I wonder out loud how I will "return to the workforce" and "get my financial life in order" while getting through divorce. And I did it. I really did it! I'm moving on to other things in my life. Serious writing - the kind where I actually dr...

PollyAnna's Divorce: Vulnerable

http://pollyannasdivorce.blogspot.com/2013/02/vulnerable.html

Tuesday, February 12, 2013. It has been over a year and a half since I asked for a divorce. It has been almost a year since I landed at my current job. It has been seven months since my ex moved out. It has been one month since my divorce. I'm feeling restless, and I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because I live in a perpetual state of exhaustion. Maybe it's because I wish I had more figured out. There's something missing. What is it? Is it wanting to move to the next level at work? And you know what? The he...

PollyAnna's Divorce: September 2012

http://pollyannasdivorce.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html

Thursday, September 20, 2012. There are nearly three months of separation between my ex and I. The distance is wider than the Grand Canyon, and in many ways my life three months ago feels like a different lifetime. I am not the same person, and my life is not the same. I'm finding some peace in all of this. Deep, deep peace, like a cobalt pool at the foot of a waterfall. Peace like watching a sleeping child. And I was okay. Once the initial "Are you kidding me? How will it impact Katherine? I never knew ...

PollyAnna's Divorce: July 2012

http://pollyannasdivorce.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html

Sunday, July 29, 2012. But she was oblivious for the most part. As the play progressed, the shrew became broken as she was tamed, and it felt uncomfortable to me - was this a play about male chauvenism? Now, I'm not looking to be carried over a man's shoulder into the wilderness. Rue the day that a man should try - I'm not one to go for that. But oh how I would love a man who knew what my defenses were, and knew how to guide me to a softer place inside myself than my previous romance has allowed. But I'm...

PollyAnna's Divorce: BENIGN!

http://pollyannasdivorce.blogspot.com/2013/02/benign.html

Tuesday, February 5, 2013. They called me while I was on the bus on the way in to work. I thought it was the standard post-surgery call ("How's the wound? But instead it was with the excellent news that I DO NOT HAVE CANCER! To tell you that I'm happy would be like saying that chocolate tastes good or that I love my daughter - the words are insufficient. I am filled with the promise and possibility of all good things, and I'm walking on air. Now, back to work for me! February 5, 2013 at 12:38 PM. Surgery...

Tuesday, February 5, 2013. Wow that was exhausting. So, the happy adreneline rush that came with my good news earlier today (benign! Has faded back to normal-happy levels. And I am so incredibly exhausted. WOW. Katherine is sick with a cold (and Bryan is at my house with her today), and I'm back at work and it's CRAZY busy, and I feel like I need a week long nap.
