Duh!

I must have been rather tired when I posted my clarification last night. I forgot to mention that my parents are actually going down to Lisa's, barring any weird happenings with the weather. So, Joanie and I were texting last night about having Thanksgiving together. I suggested microwave meals. She said we could do something different. So I suggested Chinese food! She said sure, provided they'd be open on Turkey day. To be quite honest, I am not going to miss all the turkey day preparations. Save for one thing.....my pecan pie. Joan told me to make a tart. LOL! I should, because I sure as heck can't eat a pecan pie myself! WAIT, scratch that. I SURE COULD eat a pecan pie by myself, but I SHOULD NOT! LOL!

It'll be an interesting Thanksgiving. I had one turkey day about 8 years ago by myself. I was very sick, and my parents went to my Grandma's for that weekend. I had a boyfriend at the time, but he didn't end up coming over (one of the reasons he's an ex!!). So it was just me and Shelby. Mittens wasn't in the picture yet. At least this turkey day I won't be so lonely! I'll have my Joanie! And maybe Mandy's family later on for dessert. I don't know yet! Mandy is having maybe 20 people at her house for dinner (all of Ron's family.....I hope she has lots of alcohol), so going over there would be so chaotic. Dessert might be better! It's still early, we can plan as the day gets near!

Spending the holidays alone is difficult, but if you plan some special activities, it will fly by.

I usually pick up some DVDs from the library that I haven't seen before. I prepare a small scale feast: roast a small turkey breast (so I have some left overs), yams from a can, etc. It is possible to have a special day for yourself.

Health Changes

 I finally thought I was making progress with my anxiety that had ramped up again back in November of last year. It's been a very long road of not feeling good, trying to increase the Remeron, trying to learn once again that my life is worth a whole lot of SOMETHING. The tremendous loss of my mom, my grandma, a couple of dear phriends, and the nursing home volunteering put a huge pressure of my value of what my life is supposed to be like. However, I had finally started to turn that around. In June, I was robbed (another story for another time, maybe), and on that day I figured that out, I realized I wasn't anxious at all. I was pumped with adrenaline that whole day since I was so angry, so I thought for sure the anxiety would be back again, but it wasn't. And for at least a month and a half, it's been pretty decent. I've been so thankful for that.  But in the last several weeks, I don't know what has happened to my body, especially my abdominal area, but I have

My Most Inspiring Possession

Image
A dear friend named Judi, whose journal I've been reading for years, has brought back her ARTSY ESSAY CONTEST ! I'm very excited about this, and hope that others will read the wonderful essays already posted in Judi's blog! Here is the topic for this month's new installment: What is your favorite and most inspiring possession? Tell us about it, and if you want an extra creative challenge... tell us about it without naming it until the very last sentence of your essay:):):) I own alot of possessions. When I first moved out of my parents' house, almost 9 years ago, I took this possession with me. It was mine, I had bought it, but I did allow the other members of my family to use it from time to time while I was at home. This possession has been a tremendous outlet for me to do a wide variety of things. I was able to record the barking of our first family dog, something that was cherished when she sadly died way too early for her doggy lifespan. I also was able to save

The Ideal Day

Once again, it's that time of month for dear Judi's Artsy Essay Contest! Please see the rules and regulations for this month here . I entered a couple month's ago when Judi decided to revive this wonderful contest, and decided I'd like to give it a shot this month! Here goes! My Ideal Day My ideal day would start out at 7am to get ready for work, instead of getting up to take a pill. My ideal day would be going to work as a teacher, instead of wondering if I'd feel well enough to do anything for that day. My ideal day would be working out at a gym, instead of hoping to have enough energy to just walk for 6 minutes on the treadmill at home. My ideal day would be to freely walk about around my home and in public, instead of being tethered to a plastic tube going into my nose, providing oxygen to keep me going. My ideal day would be remembering meeting times with friends or family, instead of keeping track of the 8 different times I need to take a pill or vitamin in
