Sincere Thanks


So here is what you wonderful people have helped me accomplish:
  • I went to the grocery store and picked up
    • Two bags of apples
    • Vegetable tray
    • Two bags of salad

  • I took care of myself in the absence of Hubbend
    • I spent time by myself rejuvenating (blogging)
    • I walked for an hour with Chickadee
    • I took a shower

  • I was loving but firm

  • I remembered a few key elements
I feel better. Thanks for putting up with my 'tantrum'. You are all really my lifeline. I'm certain I would be floundering if it weren't for all of you. Thanks so very much!

Now back to the Hubbend and the den of lions house stuffed full of loving relatives.

    I'm glad you got so much help and inspiration yesterday. The only reason I didn't comment is that my eating/food behavior when traveling has been notoriously heinous.

    I'm gong to have to read through the comments you got for some pointers. One thing I can say for sure, traveling with your immediate family is a lot different from the family at large - extended folks! Love 'em but they really push my buttons!

    I am so glad you feel better:) And glad your blogging and your readers could give you an outlet and an uplift.

    And thank YOU for those Training Wheels. I love that idea and hope you don't mind that some day I will come up with my own (no toilets or trash cans) and blog about them as well.

    Hugs.

    Just wanted to let you know that I've been following your blog [AND Mrs. Fatass's!], and you are really helping me as you go through your journey. I'm bipolar and also dealt with PPD, though not PPP, and I definitely relate to most everything you talk about, so thank you. Keep up the self-care . . . I know it's hard! Congrats on what you've accomplished.

    You are an absolute nut. I'm sad that we will not be able to hang out. That's okay though...you persevere on your end and I will persevere on my end!!!

    What a difference a day makes and of course some positive actions!

    I hear the "happy" back in your writing and a sense of control over your situation.

    Bravo!

It's Here

We got the moving truck rather unexpectedly. It's more expensive than Mr. Survival planned, so we're doing a lot of lifting, cardio, and squats. No. We're not doing the bootcamp in a trailer. We ARE moving things to the new garage, since we can't move in yet, but they're being kind enough to let us dump in a storage manner. Sorry. I'll have to beg your forgiveness and promise to update you. Eventually.

I Found True Happiness

It feels like I've become a detached voice, writing but not feeling on this blog.  I'm living a lot of things that don't fit neatly into my bloggable ownership file. Even now, I've spent an hour with this tab open to write a new post and I've done absolutely everything else possible.  For once I can't put a finger on what I'm feeling.  I don't fit into any definable box. On one hand, I'm spending an hour in therapy with Chickadee and another hour round trip three times a week. Mr. Survival is fighting off unemployment blues. We cannot shake things up and have me go to work. I'm not going to go to FitBloggin'11 . But, on the other hand, Chickadee is STANDING in the stander for minutes instead of seconds! Chickadee is grasping things momentarily for the first time in eighteen months. I'm so in love with Mr. Survival it's unbelievable. We are tighter as a family than we ever have been. I'm stressed and frustrated.  I...

Flying With Concrete

Today I wanted to write about my dreams. Full of hope and bliss and fulfillment. Yeah, I sound about as light as a bucket of cement. Ready to fly away. Hang on, while I toss out the top of the pile. Maybe that will help me find my lofty aspirations. Nope. Thing is, I'm remembering today that I'm afraid of heights. Really. Once Hubbend made me climb up three stories of scaffolding. Broke it all down for me and left me no other choice. Made me feel irreplaceable. Yes, we must remember that I am crazy friends. Leave it to me to feel important by being told to go up a towering structure of death. I did it though. And I even wired a speaker while I was up there. But I'm still afraid of heights. So. Do you wanna help me out today? For every comment that tells me something someone wants to be able to do that they can't do now I will do one minute of exercise. Really. Because of my child care situation, it will have to be tomorrow morning. So have at it. ...
