Space is limited

I went home for a long weekend with my guys. I miss them and they miss me but we are all adjusting just fine. They have settled into a routine. It was nice being at home but it made me realize what I already know. I have never fitted in there. The area is my hubby's terrority and I have always felt out of place. But here in RR, I feel right at home. It is hard to explain but RR feels so right. I have made the right decision.

I didn't realized that I have so many shoes. I brought back some of my things back and all of my clothes. After unpacking my car, I watched the Sex and the City movie as I hung my clothes up and organized my shoes. I have only seen one episode of the show but the movie was okay. But it was a nice way to prepare for the upcoming week. I am getting the hang of working at a daily newspaper. However thank goodness, for the paper being a Tuesday through Friday and Sunday paper. It is hard but so worth all the work and stress.

    I'm so glad to hear that you're managing to balance your family life with work. It's great that you feel at home where you are. And you can still enjoy time with your guys :) Sounds like the best of both worlds to me!

    Hi Silly Girl,

    It's been a little while since I visited. Wow! Lots of changes. Not only does your blog have a new "home", but so do you. And...you got the job! Congratulations!

    I caught up on your old posts. I love your princess photos - from your wedding. I can understand why you son loves those - his mommy is a real beauty.

    See you again soon

Stopping a downward spiral

In the past, my birthday has always been a trigger for me to relapse or get anxious. But for the past two years, my birthday has been my birthday. A day to celebrate my birth.  Around Thanksgiving, I started feeling different. December was just a month of misery. I now realize that my meds had stopped working. So here I stand at a crossroad--I can increase the dosage and continue on my merry way or not. Remeron not only stabilizes my mood but gives me an appetite.  I haven't had one since Thanksgiving. I eat based on time. If it is 7:15 a.m., it is breakfast. By noon, I must eat lunch and dinner between 6 and 7 p.m. If I increased the dosage, the appetite comes back for awhile  but I will gain more weight. This is why I was taking Seroquel to help with anxiety.  I don't think there is a enough Seroquel in the world to deal with my anxiety. And while my therapist is being helpful, he admitted this is beyond him. So we are looking for a therapist outside of the area...

Disturbance in the world of Jack

Let me start by saying that I am okay. And considering the way crime is in RR, it could have been a lot worst. I keep odd hours. I can leave for work at 7:30 a.m. and sometimes I don't come home until 8 or 9 p.m.  Last Friday night, I actually got done early at 5 p.m. and went to the grocery store. While at the store, I debated canned peas or frozen peas (very important later). I ended up with canned ones because the frozen brand I like was not at Food Lion. I drive home in a fairly decent mood because I will be home before 6:30 p.m. and can watch the news. I live on a street with lots of duplexes and kids. The road running parallel to my street is very busy, no sidewalks and no street lights. People walking tend to walk in people's yards so they don't get hit by a car. Plus, pedestrians and bikers in RR, don't wear light colored clothes at night. This puts them at serious risk for injury. This is a personal pet peeve of mine.  I pull into my driveway, park in front...

RR is alive with the sounds of music

Music is key in my life. I don’t know what I would do without it. As a teenager, I loved to make mixtapes for friends and families. And now, I love making mix cds to listen to on long road trips home or when I am out covering NH county. I guess along with pens, magazines and libraries, music is my thing. Most of the time, when I am writing, I like to listen to music. My favorite thing is to turn on Itunes radio and just listen to various songs. It is how I discover musicians like Evans Blue or Sia. It is one thing that remained throughout my struggles with my ED. I never loss my love of music. Sometimes it was the only thing that could calm my mind when it was consumed by thoughts of ED. Words make you think a thought. Music makes you feel a feeling. A song makes you feel a thought. --E. Y. Harburg Some of my favorite memories are tied to songs. I can remember my feelings being at that Dave Matthew concert. I can remember how I felt seeing my mom dance to Earth, Wind and Fire and Chic...
