It was weird waking up to silence. My husband and JJ left on Saturday. Both of them snore and  the tv was on all of the time so silence was weird. It was great having them here. I got some quality time with JJ and his dad. The question on everyone's mind is what is the deal between the two of us. And the answer is  I don't know. We talked and we are going to take things slow and just see. Both of us have seen what life is together and separately. But  two things we agreed on is our love of JJ and our friendship. So we'll see.

The last three weeks were the longest my husband and I had been under the same roof in the past three years. It was first visit for the two of them. And JJ loved it. His recap of the vacation to my sister-in-law was priceless.

N--How was your trip, JJ??
JJ--It was AWESOME, Aunt N.
(JJ then turns to me and said, Mommy, you are always Awesome so I am not including you in my list.)
JJ--My top three was the visit, Mommy's apartment and Mommy's job.

I am so glad they came here to visit. RR doesn't have a lot of the things that they are accustomed to such as Target, a big movie theater and lots to do but it is a good place. A place that is my home. A place I am very protective of because it is my oasis. My husband is dealing with his mom's death and the drama from his dad. He enjoyed just being here with JJ and I. He said it was like being in a protective bubble.

The intern took a photo of me interviewing James Wesley, left.

Rapids Jam was fun. I got to interview a country artist James Wesley. I caught his performance and he was quite good.

My weigh in for the boot camp is Thursday. I am actually looking forward to it. I am walking a few days a week, drinking more water and eating more healthy. Instead of my usually barbecue chips,  I brought some veggie chips.

Overall, Silly Girl is doing pretty good and just enjoying life.

DAILY DOSE

1. Being able to spend time with JJ.

2. Snapple sorbet pops--I found them in the $1 store and they are amazing and healthy.

3. Eating a turkey leg at Rapids Jam

    I'm glad you had such a great time with JJ and your husband. David and I are doing the same thing - taking it slow and seeing what happens. That is all we can do right now. I pray things work out for you however you want them to, and what is best and healthiest for you!

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...
