I'm excited about the long weekend! We're going home to see our families. We haven't been since Christmas.

I'm trying to concentrate on my health and this week I got a massage for the first time. I loved it. It was so relaxing! And I think it cut down on my anxiety the next day.

I've also started Zumba, really fun and it'll be great to get regular exercise. I'm excited about my summer schedule (Zumba, pottery, yoga)

1 - three cats, Sadie, Charlie, and Moe. Love them like crazy

2 - I'm obsessed with all Gotye lately. I listen to Somebody That I Used to Know over and over

3 - Today's also our wedding anniversary. We've made huge progress on our marriage this year so we're both happy to get to this milestone.

This is the first week mom's been home. My sister is making it very obvious she's not happy that my mom decided to go home instead of into a facility. I am getting running in with my dogs, so I'm dealing pretty ok. If I wasn't I'd probably have told my sister to f off.

1) Do you have any pets? 2 dogs and 1 cat
2)Any good songs you've heard lately? I've been listening to a lot of Buckcherry radio on pandora
3) Anything else you want to share- not really?

It has been a fairly good week. Met with a new therapist yesterday, which went really well.

I have 2 pugs. See siggy.

I am looking forward to the cookout with my family this weekend.

Been doing great this week
1) Yup, a dog and a cat!
2) Somebody I Used To Know- Gotye
3) Nothing

[curmudgeon]

Blah week, hoping to rest up over the long weekend and have more motivation next week.

Additional Questions:
1) Do you have any pets?

Two cats, one dog, many fish.

2)Any good songs you've heard lately?

I avoid the radio at all cost, but I have recently re-discovered Barenaked Ladies and I am a little incredulous that I hadn't listed to them more sooner.

3) Anything else you want to share

Thank god it's Friday.

I'm good! I'm excited to get a "weekend" for once.. though it consists of Sun/Mon instead!

1) Do you have any pets? 2 cats, Asher and Midnight. They are currently napping.. not a surprise of course.
2)Any good songs you've heard lately? Hmm, yes but I don't know the names or artists off the top of my head.
3) Anything else you want to share: My FI totally freaked me out last night. We were at a friends house and we were playing with their son and out of no where he just got kinda crabby and weird. On the ride home he told me he's really nervous about getting married and having kids. I guess when he was holding their 9 month old it kinda hit him that in like, 2ish years, he will be hold his own kid. It was bugging me today so I was texting him about it (he's at work) and I think he's fine now. Just made me worry a little!

I am doing kind of "meh." Y'all are going into a nice long weekend, but I am working all weekend, so the excitement just isn't there for me.

1) Do you have any pets? I have a dog named Otto. He is my best friend.

2)Any good songs you've heard lately? I am also way into that Gotye song. And I am a big fan of the song "A Better Son/Daughter" by Rilo Kiley. I have also been listening to "I and Love and You" by the Avett Brothers a lot lately.

3) Anything else you want to share. I will be signing the lease on my new apartment in one week! I can't wait to no longer have to live with my STBXH.

Super cute pugs!

I've been home all week recovering from surgery and welcoming pity. And poor poodles. Other than that, I've slept, napped, laid around, and watched Daddy Daycare. Twice. Oh, and I finally pooped yesterday. That was big news.

I've had a fairly good week, although my anxiety was kicking my ass yesterday afternoon. Thankfully happy hour with friends kind of kicked it to the curb.

I have no pets

Daughters by Nas is one of my current favorites.

I'm worried about my mental health this summer. Usually, lots of down time means time to dwell and become withdrawn. Fortunately, I'll be in therapy so maybe it will be good. I'm going to hope for the best anyway.

My week has been okay. I got to see my best guy friend this week before he ships off to basic.

I have no pets and haven't heard any good songs other than the ones I usually listen to.

I'm feeling kind of down today though.

I'm sorry :-( Anything in particular or just in general? I know I randomly get down too and it sucks. Feel free to bitch about anything if you want, I'll listen!

Ditto to this!

Mostly just in general. Part of it has to do with my best guy friend leaving for basic training soon, and stuff being off with my SO. I feel like I work all the time(I have two jobs; part-time, but still)and I never really get to do anything and I've been super tired lately.

I understand this. If my best guy friend left (I spent the last 2 months trying to convince him not to move out of state) I would be lost. We work together, so I see him at least 40-60 hours a week, he takes a lot of my abuse. He is the only guy who has stood with me after H died and now with my mom being sick, I'm freaking out he wants to move to another county. Its not far, but it scares me that he will be farther away than he is now.
I work 4 jobs- in fact I should leave now for one of them. This one I am SO happy to go back for the first time since my mom went into the hospital. Its like a second family.
I get that its all overwhelming. One foot in front of the other.

This week was okay. I finished a kitchen class that I was having a really difficult time with the instructor, he's basically an ass who has anger issues. It was really hard on my self esteem and was exhausting, mentally and physically. I'm so glad to be finished with him.

The rest of the week has been really lonely. I'm having a hard time with SO being gone so much for work and when he is home, he's exhausted and doesn't really want to spend time together. Hopefully he'll have some time off here soon, after the holiday weekend.

1. Pets- I have 2 dogs, a 4 year old shih tzu named Boo and a 7 month old Presa Canario (Basically a Great Dane Mastiff Mix) named Miel.

2. No good songs lately, I've been tuning into talk radio on the way to school lately.

3. Nothing else to really share. I'm happy I've been loosing weight especially after being stuck at the same weight for about 4 months. I really would like to get back to the gym or start running again but the heat makes me not want to do it at all. Trying to motivate myself to do it now while it's still early and cool.
