top 20

April 28, 2009 – 7:17 pm

I’m loving my new Zune and it was the perfect reward for my first really big weight milestone. After all, I can’t resist anything that starts with a Z. I’ve been playing with it, learning the features. It holds 120gb so the 2500ish songs I’ve downloaded to it are just a tiny drop in the [...]

green!

April 26, 2009 – 3:06 pm

In just the past week we’ve gone from early flowering trees to vibrant green! It’s beautiful here – the weather has mostly been lovely. We’ve had some cloudy days and a little rain but mostly it’s been warm and sunny.

on being human

April 25, 2009 – 7:23 am

“There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.” – David Deida I wrote back in March about how I am having trouble visualizing myself at a lower weight. It seems that this is an issue that does not go away no matter how carefully I ignore it. [...]

weekend update

April 20, 2009 – 11:01 pm

Things are moving back to sort-of normal. Mom had to go back to the hospital and they changed her pain killer – that seems to have at least resolved the hallucinations. The scary thing is how close it feels for those symptoms to not be something that will go away. Maybe I’m panicking. At any [...]

7 levels of hell

April 18, 2009 – 6:38 pm

when does it stop being her? Level 1: You don’t know what’s coming. Life looks normal. Level 2: Something is different. She repeats herself and asks the same question several times in a row. Level 3: Other people are noticing. She is easily confused and may not know where she is. She has trouble finding [...]

happy friday

April 17, 2009 – 8:09 am

I have had some rough days lately but the fact is, they’re just rough days. It’s important to remember that overall, things are going pretty well. I’ve made a lot of hard changes in a short time and it is not surprising that everything isn’t constantly perfect. It’s okay, progress is not a straight line. [...]

headed for the ground

April 15, 2009 – 9:19 am

life is full of lots of up and downs but the distance feels further when it’s headed for the ground and there’s nothing more painful than to let your feelings take you down ~Tommy Page I haven’t written much about my happiness (life) project in probably a couple months.

weirdness wednesday

April 8, 2009 – 8:54 pm

Ah yes, what an interesting day. I had an episode of derealization driving home from rehab and shopping this afternoon. That’s a fancy way of saying that suddenly the world around me didn’t seem quite real. There are a lot of possible causes of derealization and it’s really pretty common, people just don’t know what [...]
