>We have friends coming this weekend. Yippee!
>I hope everyone knows how much I love my kids and my last entry was not supposed to mean otherwise.
>My ex did mention he was looking for work to me before my son mentioned it. It was the ‘far away’ part and the ‘back where I used to live’ part that got to me.
>Need some design work done? Ask me.
>I vote the weekend starts tonight.
>The word ‘autumnal’ makes me very happy. I say it over and over like a mantra.
>The Crazy is ebbing and flowing.
>I feel confined in a box. A smaller box than I used to be in. The highs are less high and the lows are less low. I dream about feeling the highs. I suppose some part of me misses it.
>I also dream about chain smoking and self-harming and eating disorders. So far not much of that has made it to the daytime hours.
>I’m sleeping better and longer than I have in years.
>I’m waking up at 7am every morning. Sleeping in is a thing of the past.
>I’m thinking mostly in lists and the rest of the time in ‘writing conversation’ style in my head. Pretty much all the time. Like right now.
>I would like to invite you over for a cup of coffee and crochet. I promise to talk in complete sentences. Mostly.
>If you are one of the people that couldn’t find me after I redesigned my homepage: sorry and I added a link now. Future employers will just have to be won over by my brilliant smile and critique me on my writing style more than content.
Thanks for clarifications. Which reminds me, I forgot to say that I was impressed that you so deftly made such a difficult revelation metaphorical (with the fruit salad).
I am in recovery from alcoholism, almost 20 years now (OK 18, maybe it’s a jinx to round up), and still dream nightly that I am having just. one. drink. In the daytime I never even pause to consider it, but the dreams remind me that I am an addict, nonetheless.
Delurking to say I totally got what you meant in your “fruit salad” post.
I am good at coffee. Not so much at crocheting. Can I still come over?
I don’t crochet, but I can make a mean list. Am I invited?
Crochet and decalf? I need an excuse to inish the layette I’m working on!
I hope you feel as rounded and okay and satisfying as this post reads, because – yum!
