Wednesday, I feel better just for spite.

So tonight's the night, guys. Time to go see the psychiatrist and see if he thinks I'm as crazy as my therapist does. The more I think about my life, the more I realize that maybe I DO have some weird chemical imbalance that makes me think all the bad shit in the world should happen to me and only me. When I hear about happy or successful people dying, that voice in my head always pipes up "it should have been me, I'm not doing shit with my life." Do other people think this way?

It's not like I think he's gonna give me some pill and I'm gonna wake up tomorrow all happy and sunshiney and ready to take on the world. A pill that can make me eat right, exercise, organize my house, wanna have sex, not hate myself AND learn to save money? Doubtful. BUT...if it can make me stop feeling like all the terrible things that happen in the world are somehow my fault, that would help a lot.

I really appreciate all the comments and encouragement you guys have been giving me. I know I've been lackluster at best at staying connected during this unexpected turn towards shittiness in my life, so really, it means a lot to me to see you guys weathering this shitstorm with me. I rarely expect people to care about my life (shocker?), but it's nice to know that people do.

To change the subject a little, in some vain attempt to actually move my ass off the couch, I decided to go swimming Sunday afternoon at Jeff's sister's house. Well, "swimming", because I still don't know how to swim, but kicking my legs around in the water and wrestling 5 kids off my back for a couple hours is still pretty good exercise for someone like me. For the last 3 days, my legs have been freaking SORE AS HELL. How sad! How out of shape do you have to be to get leg cramps from essentially floating? Sigh.

I thought maybe I could start going over there a few times a week if they'd let me because the swimming pool at my apartment complex is super crowded every day since school's out and it seems like everyone living here has at least 3 kids running around pissing me off. I always check the pool when I get home from work in the hopes that maybe it'll be empty enough for me to dare showing my hyper-white legs and homemade swimsuit, but nope...Kid Soup every fucking day. Oh well...at least one day those little jerks will have to go back to school. So suck on that.

Summer sucks, man. I was all hyped up to have this be the summer that I was gonna beat the heat and lose weight and brave the 120 degree weather to go hike and shit and say "fuck you, sun!" But so far that shit has NOT been the case. You win this round, global warming.

I suffered an M.I. by just floating.
I'm glad you're snapping out of a bit of funk. And you're more courageous than I putting your body in water. I'm always afraid of the film crew from Deadliest Catch showing up unexpectedly.

We have global fog.

Welcome back! Keep writing. Even if it is only rarely.

P.S. About that magic pill that is going to make you do all those things you aren't currently doing - you know that you are still great without them, right? That even if you never ever learn to save money or run a marathon there are three hundred people on this blog alone who think you are Queen Fabulous? Just checking :)

I have been in the same situation before, I would say that the best approach on how to cure anxiety is to understand the causes and its symptoms. Relaxation and daily exercises will be a great help.

Hope everything works out with you and the crazy doc! Seriously Trish, I heart you, big time.

Also, I've seen at least four Nevada license plates in the past few days and every time I see one I thin of you!

Knock it off! The summers not over yet! Don't start writing the whole summer off, you still have plenty of time to get your butt in gear. Go swimming again tomorrow. Screw the kids. Your legs will feel better after you've done it more.

I went to an amusement park today. Thought of you and bought a post card. :-)

P.S. Thursday and Friday take too long / Before I know it, Saturday's gone / but it's Sunday now and everything's alright.

That was my mom's/my theme song when I was like eight :)
