Without music, life would be sooooo boring

-
I am listening to iTunes radio as I write. I think I am going to have to buy an iPod to download all of the music I have on my laptop. Music plays a significant role in my life. Even when I am walking down the hall, I can hear music in my head. My friends don't know this but I have created soundtracks for them. Most of the songs picked for my blog are songs I have listened to throughout the day.

My mom is watching Animal Planet. For now, things are pretty decent. She is getting her groove back because she has announced she is ready to go home. Sadly, her body isn't. Her white blood cells are okay but she is going to need some platelets later today. Physical therapy is going well.

After a long week, I crashed yesterday between helping my mom and trying to rest. I was exhausted. So I read some mags and kept my mom's spirits up. I got my greedy little hands on the September issue of Vanity Fair with Lady Gaga on the cover. The article was great and the pictures were awesome. I think awesome has become my word of the month. Anyway, I devoured the magazine. It was nice to just zone out.

While reading, I came across this section called My Dream. This month featured designer Michael Kors. I decided to write down My Dreams.


My Dreams by Silly Girl
My DREAM holiday is to go to a beach house for a week with close friends and family. Especially  with JJ. He loves the beach.

My DREAM mode of transport is a car with a driver. Sometimes I just want to read or sleep during a long trip.

My DREAM outfit is a cute black Ann Taylor dress with cool pair of shoes and a kick ass handbag.

My DREAM home is in my hometown. It looks like a birthday cake and is three story Victorian style home.

My DREAM is to live to see  my little guy grew up to be a really good young man. Have a successful life and find love.

My DREAM medical cure is for cancer. It has wrecked to much havoc on the world.

My DREAM collection  includes James Dean and Curious George items.

My DREAM dinner party consist of a few close friends with guests such as James Dean, President Obama, Julia Roberts, Dave Matthews, Colin Powell and the music groups--Paramore, Breaking Benjamin and Slipknot.

My DREAM meal is a porterhouse steak with baked potatoes, a salad and key lime pie.

2. My mother is doing much better.

3. Making sure nap time is a priority.

    I'm really glad you got some time to rest a bit, even if it's just to read a magazine you really want to read. It's good to hear too that your mum is doing a little better. I like the list of what you dream too, they are really good to keep in mind when you don't feel good and you can remind yourself of them. Have a good saturday night and sunday :-)

    P.S. I haven't forgotten about your card for JJ. I am having some creativity issues right now and I do have the dinosaur cut out and put together, I just have to up it together on a card blank. I'll send it off as soon as I get it put together. Hopefully I can finish it today.

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...
