Introducing the Friday Five

-
Every Friday, I have decided to do the Friday Five. Five quick facts about me. I hope others will share with me some about them.

Lately, my life feels like an episode of Grey's Anatomy except my McDreamy is a little cuter. I caught my reflection in a store window today and didn't flinch or cringe. I thought wow that girl looks confident and happy. It has been a longtime since I felt that way about myself. I am so glad I had the opportunity to take this job because I foresee more changes in the future.

And now, the Friday Five

1. Favorite Time of Day--It is at 3 a.m. I love the silence of the world at rest. It is so peaceful.

2. Web obsession-- Hula. I love watching episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. They bring back so many good memories.

3. Must have in desk at work: A chocolate Chex mix cereal bar. A delicious snack.

4. I wish I could... play the drums. I think I would have been good.

5. Dream job--Writing for Glamour magazine

    I'm so glad you're feeling so confident and good in your own skin. There's nothing like that feeling!

    I also love Buffy the Vampire Slayer! And I wish I could write for Glamour, too ;)

    You can still learn to play the drums. You should try it; it might be fun!

    'Buffy the Vampire Slayer!' Still one of my fave shows!
    3 a.m - lovely time of the day...or night!

    Maybe you buy a set of Bongos! I know it's not the real thing but it would be a start?!

    Take care SG.

    Friday Five sounds like a good idea! With NaNoWriMo starting in a few days, I'll need all kinds of ideas for writing!

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...
