It's Tuesday which means I get to be LOST

-
Earlier this evening, it snowed. Again. I love snow as much as the next person but this has got to stop. My co-workers are beginning to think maybe I brought the snow with me.

After working some heinous hours yesterday, I get to unwind. This is great because I am tired. These antibiotics are kicking my butt. But they are working and I don't have MRSA.

Today, my partner in crime and I went to this barbecue restaurant for lunch. I hate barbecue. To me, it looks like someone regurgitated on your plate. But the fried chicken, sweet peas, mash potatoes and gravy were great. And so were the hush puppies. A very good lunch. A lunch I didn't stress about. A lunch full of good conversation. There is hope for me after all. My mother's birthday is in one week. I am not sure what to get her. She is in good spirits. I think it is because the radiation is almost over and so she will have surgery. She explained why they did the radiation. The spot where the bones broke had cancer in them. I knew it and I am glad to hear her say it out loud. On Thursday, she gets her other test results back. And for once, I'm not worried or stress. What will happen will happen.

Back to her birthday. I think we will take a mini road trip. Maybe hit some thrift stores and go to the fish camp she likes. We'll figure out something.

    Oh, a mini road trip could be fun! What a great idea! You seem very at peace about your mom's situation, and that's good to hear. You are doing all you can for her!
    I'm so glad you don't have MRSA! And I'm also glad you get to unwind tonight! Good for you for doing the bbq lunch, even if it's not your favorite. I'm not a fan of bbq either. It's too sloppy for me! It's great that you could enjoy the conversation and relax :)
    Have a good night!

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...
