My new hobby--sleep

-
I can’t imagine what life would be like not tired. In the last few weeks, it seems like I stay tired. I am beginning to wonder if this is how my life is suppose to be. It is sad to leave work, come home and have to take a nap to get through the rest of the evening. And God help me if I have a meeting to cover.

With the new editor, there has been a complete revamping of how things are done. I feel like every brain cell is being used everyday. I am still adjusting to the new beat, duties and other assignments. It is a lot.

My new adobe still looks like a hoarder’s paradise. I didn't have to work today or tomorrow so I did some cleaning. I have managed to put most of my clothes together. The big goal is to get the second bed cleaned off. Most off my clothes are put away.

I know I am depressed. October and November are busy months here so my doctor and therapy appointments are the day before Thankgsiving when works out since I am not going home. I can’t deal with family right now.

JJ’s birthday is on the 23rd with him turning the big 5. It seems like yesterday I was holding a tiny him who is getting taller each day. I have included some pictures from the beach trip of him. And maybe one of me.

JJ in the fort of pillows he made.

JJ playing Connect Four. I tried to play a game with him. He didn't like the rules so he made up up his own game.

JJ took this photo of me with his cell phone.

This is where we stayed. We stayed on the ground floor. Awesome place!





My birthday cake from JJ. He helped me blow out the candles.

I am still hanging in there. And I am trying to catch up on the blogs. Thanks for all of the support!


Daily Dose

1. Finding White Chocolate covered oreos. Delicious.

2. Indulging my craving for a Nachos Supreme with double meat and sour cream while watching Notting Hill.

3. Still keeping my head above water.

    hope you get some rest in soon! A life of fatigue is not the kind of life you want. JJ has a cell! Sign of the times I suppose. He probably has a better one then I do too!

    I've been tired, too. I went to bed at 9:00 and woke up at 5:00, then fell asleep again and woke up at 6:00. I think I'll keep doing that until I catch up.

    I hope you find a way to catch up, too!

    Thanks for reading and commenting on my blog!

    Try to get the rest you need. You have been through a lot lately, so that might be one reason why you are so tired. Hang in there!

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...
