I am fairly out of it this morning…keep that in mind as you are reading and wondering if I am drunk.
Between starting a new job, tapering off Klonopin, and taking care of an unemployed and depressed Dr. Love, I have failed to blog regularly. I believe my last blog was almost a month [...]

After three straight days of minimal sleep, I passed out on the couch last night, watching Medium, that we had DVR’d from earlier in the evening. DVR is a beautiful thing. I’m still not used to having a fancy TV or cable, and when I found out that we could set it to automatically record [...]

I have a lot to say tonight. So much, that I know I will forget some of it, that I won’t get it down on paper and that thought will be lost until I think it again. All of these tiny thoughts, big thoughts left in the dark. Dead, really, until I can find them [...]

For the final 118 minutes of today, Saturday, the 27th of December, year of our Lord 2008, I am going to not care about what anyone thinks of me. I have spent far too much time today consumed by it. I am also not going to worry about that which I cannot change, which I [...]

I’m barely able to keep my eyes open this morning, even though I was a good girl and went to bed at a decent time last night and got about 8 hours of sleep. I just have energy. I think it has a lot to do with the cyproheptadine I took last night. My old [...]

It has been over two weeks since I have last blogged. Almost three, in fact. And I really haven’t been keeping it up too well since August, even though I see it as a valuable tool. I have been choosing not to use it.
Don’t get me wrong. I get on the computer at least once [...]
Living the Good Life

I experienced intense and overwhelming feelings of joy, satisfaction, and gratitude today. While in the past this may have given me pause, caused me to examine whether or not I was having mood swings, today I did not have to. Because I’m happier than a pig in shit, for lack of a better phrase, and [...]
Posting Blind

Today was my second day off in a row, and have spent the evening contemplating not blogging, although just this morning I was looking forward to it.
Overall, life is great. Matt and I are happy together, making adjustments to living together, to not being alone. I probably wish he’d take out the trash more often and [...]

It has been almost two weeks since I have blogged and so much has happened, it’s crazy. Matt moved in, the house has had a total makeover and major clean-out/organization, the lawn got mowed (yes, Matt did it, not me), and then all of the other normal day-to-day stuff that happens.
Last weekend, Matt moved in, [...]

A sound night’s sleep has eluded me for the past week. I’m not quite sure what to chalk it up to, but I think maybe I have been using my sun lamp too much. That, and I’ve started eating again, which is definitely making me feel different. Nauseous and disgusting, truth be told. I suppose that’s [...]
