BACK HOME
5.29.07
Hello, dear friends, I'm back. I needed to take a bit of a break from my tedius routines which had me in a rather vicious cycle of getting stuck and prickly and fuzzy and spiky. Before my diagnosis, I didn't know what any of that was about, or how to deal with it. Now I know it means that I need a service check for the distance I've traveled. I needed to refill my windshield fluid, I needed to check the tire pressure. Change the oil, align my wheels, that kind of thing. So I took some time to clear my head and get some perspective. I spent time by myself with myself, wandering around in costume interacting with other mortals, catching up with friends and revealing secrets to strangers. It was quite funny -- haha and peculiar -- to see the various reactions, open mouths, poker faces, wide eyes. You? Really?! You seem so... NoRmAl?
If only you knew the places I've been...

Thinking of you and hoping you are doing well. ((HUGS))
Welcome back friend, thank you so much for your thoughts on my recent post. It hit me hard and that is why I had to write it, no humor, no distractions. Your post on a peanut butter kind of day struck my heart in that same way. So glad you are back, I have thought of you often. This is my first week "on the outside" after 2 weeks of intensive outpatient group program. Life seems different now, and I do feel strong. Your line about our children needing to hear us in the dark was so powerful, i read it over three times. Can't wait to catch up!
I'm glad you appreciate my photos. There's lots more but I'm trying to keep my blog down to one post a week. For now.
