Writing From The South!

Hey ya'll! I'm Southern for the week!! My parents and I made it to Lisa's last night around 9ish. The drive was pretty good, despite the fact that I got a bit carsick. I don't usually have that problem, but I don't know what happened this time. The last leg of our trip was in horrendous rain, and it was kind of scary! We also saw frogs leaping in the road, and we were trying to avoid them. But, we made it after leaving around 7:30 in the morning. For some reason, it seemed to go by faster than I thought it would!

My new little nephew is ADORABLE!! I've been able to hold him several times already. He'll be 2 months this coming Thursday, hard to believe! He's a pretty good baby, though. Loves to eat, sleep, make silly faces, and smile or smirk once in awhile! He's so loveable!!

We went to brunch this morning at a place called Sweet Tomatoes. It's a huge buffet, and it was so good! We met my Aunt who was in the area for the weekend, and that was nice to see her. We ate until we couldn't eat anymore, and visited with each other for awhile. After that, we went back to Lisa's to just hang out for the rest of the day. The weather was really nice today, about 70 despite being pretty windy. It was enjoyable!

I'm not too sure what kind of plans we have going on this week, other than having bbq with Lisa's MIL and a few other guests on Wednesday evening, and letting Brandon and Lisa go out on a date on Friday night. Oh, we might be painting a fish in the baby's room, since the theme in there is ocean. I think that'll be neat! That's about all I know for sure what will be going on! I might try to post later on in the week! Til then, see ya'll later!! :)

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
