Home Sweet Home...

Hello Community

I know it has been a bit since I have posted and I’m told by my parents that some are waiting to hear what is going on...Thank you so much for thinking of me and caring for me so much.

I was released from the hospital on Tuesday. I feel OK. I’m pretty tired, which is totally expected. I am also very crankie, which I didn’t expect. I’m not sure it if it is the Meds or the adjustment of being at home. I’m sure it’s a little bit of both.

I think I thought I would be bouncing off the walls or something from being here at home. But I am sluggish. Don’t get me wrong I am so happy to be in my own bed and with my kitties and my stuff and fresh air and my own food choices, all of it.

But new lessons are presenting themselves....

My parents and I and Noah are all trying to figure out how 4 adults can flow together in a good way in a not so huge space. I know that with commitment and love and respect we will begin to figure it out. This is something I am learning and will continue to learn. This is something we are all trying to figure out in our own ways.

Napping is essential I am finding out and low maintenance cooking. I am sure in time I will find a rhythm that is supportive and healing.

Today I napped for the first time since I’ve been home and it did help a bit. I am hoping that by Thanksgiving I will have the energy to be with everyone in a good way. There will be 6 of us.

I know I will have to give up some of my desire to cook a lot and allow everyone to help out. This is challenging for me, especially in the kitchen.

Sorry for all the complaining. This is the beginning of learning a new way of being to honor my healing.

I appreciate all the love we are sent here on 9 Eagle St.

Tomorrow I will be going to the clinic and will be meeting with my Doc for the first time since I have been out of the hospital. So we will have a clearer picture of where I am. I feel like I am right where I should be and that my energy should be going towards continued care for myself.

Have a really really cozy evening. It’s looking more and more like winter every day. The fog and mists and rain is rolling in leading support for nap filled afternoons and regeneration of my body.

Big Love

Namaste

It's massive Anxiety and I deal with it every minute.

This is what you are feeling.

Try some Xanax. It works wonders.

I am thinking of you every single day.
