GigMy band "Mislead" is playing at the Parakai Tavern on Friday the 13th of June. Come along and support me if you can. Jx May 22 My ShrinkI saw my shrink the other day to get my script re-filled. I always enjoy our small sessions. I have some things to ponder at the moment which is quite interesting. Learned Helplessness, Map of Consciousness and being a square peg trying to fit into a round hole. Nevermind if it doesn't make sense to you...I know what it means for me.
I found the Map of Consciousness useful for understanding the mindset of my Apathy. I was also able to see my husband and some friends by their personalities. It really was quite remarkable how it all translated. Food for much thought.
The Learned Helplessness is a bit more difficult for me to wrap my thoughts around. My pessimism see's to that and it seems to confirm my poor ability to function well, to my detriment. Im not sure how to get out of this hole. I did some Googling and realised that treatment is very difficult...so my pessimism gets a big tick.
I do feel like a square peg trying to fit into a round hole. I am totally afraid of failure. I abducate responsibility, and thereby avoid the risk of making a mistake or failing. Therefore my life is largely thwarted by my own fears. That was not the word I was looking for. Stagnant? Unfulfilling? Unsatisfying? Boring? None of them are the right words but they all add up. I think you will get my drift.
I feel trapped in my body. Like my body is a lead weight and I can't (there's that word again) break free from its grasp. This is just a side effect from my thoughts though. My core beliefs are so negative they are sucking the life out of me. Literally. Apathy. Now there's a great word. Lazy is the layperson's term for it. Lethargy. It all comes from a belief 'Why Bother?', it all turns to shit anyway. My shrink disapproves of me using the terminolgy 'shit' to describe people, places, feelings etc...and for good reason. It describes faeces, bodily waste matter. Not a pleasant description. I can do better.
God! I am a miserable soul. I have such a huge mental block. What to do what to do. All the well meaning words and caring thoughts seem to fall off my shoulders. WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! Jx Ive been a bit down...Over the past few weeks I have been a bit down on myself. Sex has been disasterous and my self esteem has plummeted. I guess in my heart of hearts I have not been satisfied with my lot. My feelings take the shape of a figure 8. Perpetuating and cyclic. A resigned neverending sence of 'not good enough'. My vocabulary has consisted of can't which translates into won't which translates into must and should and ends up sitting inside my head, laughing at what I said (stolen lyrics from Super Groove).
But tonight I managed to feel something remotely like pleasure and surprised myself. I could actually feel. I allowed myself to go with the feelingswhen I noticed a slight twinge and it built from there. It was kinda surprising when it happened for me like it did tonight. I wish I could set the mood and program the feelings to function like that all the time we make love.
I guess I should cut myself some slack and be gentle on myself and realise that I have had a lot of stress on. I like sex to de-stress though, however. But my husband is the opposite, unfortunately. If we're both stressed it doesn't work for either of us. I hassle him for sex and he avoids it. I guess we all have issues like that sometimes. It feels like it happens a lot for me.
Anyway...I have one more blog to write for tonight. Jx GiggingMy new band is giging tomorrow night at the Swanson RSA. I am doing a couple of songs...nothing major, just Listen to the Music (The Doobie Brothers) and Hotel California. The old singer still has a couple of nights of singing left. I really hope this band works out. I had a great band practice last night. Singing moves something in me on a spiritual and physical level when I get to express myself in music. The new band is called "Mislead" . It is made up of my old bass player from Zoot Allures. Come along if you can. Jx April 16 Its raining! Hi everyone, I'm bored today. It is raining and I have finished all my rennovating projects. Ken is not quite ready for me to do the downstairs bedroom or kitchen yet...so...I am in another limbo land. I have put up five beautiful copper fish in the downstairs bathroom and toilet though which make it look awesome, and rearranged some pieces of art for the walls downstairs. Just little touches that make the home look and feel aesthetically pleasing.
I do have a massive project to do in a couple of weeks. I will be preparing and painting the entire interior of my 3 bedroom rental property! That means: cleaning all ceilings, trim and walls, plastering up any holes, sanding, undercoating and two top coats. ALL BY MY SELF!! It will be a huge endeavour but will save so much money and keep me occupied so I don't go insane. Ken is waiting to hear back for a quote to concrete the driveways and two vehicle crossings (the only thing left to do for the sec 224c and title). He is also organising a quote to paint the exterior of our rental too. We have to make the home appealing to buyers...and if it means spending some money then so-be-it. We have decided to keep the house that we are living in and doing up at the moment, as an investment property. Char and Deni may be moving into it when we move in to our new home. Char has lived with us two or three times for a year or so at a time over the years so she ha a love for it. I won't have to worry about it being trashed.
Anyway...I am cooking beef cassarole for dinner. I had pork last night. My father grows pigs and beef so we get free meat every now and again. Yum. We have been living on bacon bone boil up soup of late, due to the weather. Nothing like soup on a wet miserable day. But enough is enough. I love my meat and three vege too.
Ok well, I had also thought about doing some creative artwork on canvas today but the weather has not inspired me. I need sunlight...which is sort of the opposie really. You would think if it is wet, painting indoors would be ideal. Bye for now. Jx Karma is pregnant again!Karma is PREGNANT!   She just phoned me shaking and crying asking me if 2 lines meant she is pregnant! Lol. She is so very very happy and overwhelmed with joy at this moment. I'm gonna be a NANA!!!!!  I am so happy I could just...  She is due on the 14th of December, so still early days yet, but she has had it confirmed by the GP and is awaiting the results of her blood tests. Fingers crossed! JxApril 15 The 2nd lounge is finishedI have been very busy over the past month preparing my downstairs lounge and stairwell. It has been an absolute nightmare! I forgot that when I painted it the first time, I just did a quick cover up to tidy it up...and now I have to go around and bog holes and even out rough spots and sand, sand, sand!
I've only just stopped sanding, literally. I am sitting here at my desk covered in plaster and dust. My hair is like straw. My hands and skin are like sandpaper and so DRY!
