Posting from my phone tonight, so it will probably be brief.

I woke at around 5 am in a panic that I had overslept. I haven't been sleeping in my room, various reasons that aren't important here. I turned the tv on and drifted back to sleep. I like to turn on TBN or EWTN when I know I am going to be drifty. For a long stretch, the only I could fall asleep was to the lullaby of Mother Angelica praying the rosary. I would prefer to sleep to spiritually based things than to fall asleep to things that are going to leave some negative mark on me.

I didn't drink my normal coffee at the house but rather finished off the tea I made yesterday.

I didn't stop for coffee at my normal stop because I realized Friday it was causing me to hit an unnecessary, nostalgic head space. So, I am going to work at changing my habits and give myself space to clear my head and definitely work at being better to myself. There is no reason I should feel some void about being single just because the calendar page changed.

We'll see how that works out.

I didn't drink my normal coffee at the house or have my normal 24 oz. to nurse through the morning. I had no caffeine whatsoever today.  That's the victory we're going to celebrate today because honestly it's all I have accomplished.

The thing about Sunday... I deeply and truly missed my church when I couldn't go because of my work schedule. There hit a stretch where I couldn't hit service, I couldn't commit to small groups, and I missed it so much. When my schedule changed, I was excited to be able to get back to Sunday service. I was excited to get back into helping out. It means a lot to me. That being said. I haven't been to church in three weeks. I don't know when I am going back and I am really hoping that attendance is only one part of the grade. Some Christians work like hell for the devil. Seemingly if I am not related to those folks, they've friended me on Facebook. Nothing makes you want to join the darkside more than someone's extremely off-base and rude comments about your faith and super off the mark assumptions about the state of my relationship with God. Oh and in this case, commentary that suggested that I was chasing boys for lack of a better term was not only out ...
I started taking 5-htp again last night. I forgot I still have half a bottle, an article in a magazine jostled my memory. I had been doing well taking it on and off. You're not supposed to take it continuously. Anyway, I started taking it again last night. 100mg before bed and I am so glad that I did! I slept well, although some of that may be because I am not loaded with caffeine. I've been in good spirits all day as well. I'm going to continue because it always seems to help. This morning a friend of mine who treats her MS with cannabis posted an article about CBD oil being useful for anxiety. I have considered that route. I need to do more research. I mean, I know the results of my,um, previous studies, yeah, previous studies involving cannabis products, but the oil is a different experience. I don't understanding to totally. Or where to get it. Or if I am comfortable with the gray area it falls into legally. I'm sure none of the side effects include thoughts o...
Saturday. Saturday just seems to get harder and harder. I first started having trouble with Saturdays when my ex first moved out and we started bouncing our kid back and forth on weekends. It's a lot of time to try and fill. The thing of it is, it wasn't even that much time. When that started in 2014, I worked a retail job. My "weekend" started Tuesday night, so Saturdays and Sundays weren't all leisure time. Two months ago, Saturday suck got a lot worse. I am grateful to be back in a Monday to Friday gig. I just didn't realize how difficult weekends would be. The weekend my son goes to the dark side is also the weekend my daughter works. That was an over site on my part, I agreed to a change with my ex and didn't think it through all the way. The first couple of weekends, I think I was so excited about the novelty of not having to work that there was a certain spring in my step. I'm not saying I lost the bounce but I am not enjoying all this f...
