Doncha worry none!
Looking back on the last few posts, I realize that things may seem to be awfully poopy. Truth is, I'm feeling great. I'm making new waves and looking for new opportunities. I feel like I'm finally ready to make the big leap into...something. Not sure what, yet. Something new is out there for me. A writing career, a new place to live, a new location. The ocean. It's almost time. Meanwhile, I am shaking the last of the crud from my mootsies. I guess that's what the recent posts have been all about.

Day 4
Finally, I seem to have hit the groove here. Maybe I just needed a couple days to allow my brain to truly unwind without the interference or presence of any other people. Also, I think moving my desk to the windows was a very good move. So last night, I got a good night's sleep (except for the nightmare that woke me up, yelling, at 1:30 a.m. - something about a witch/demon after me - perhaps the Witch of Writer's Block, or Acedia, the Noonday Demon). Anyway, I got up at a healthy hour and drove straight here, didn't allow myself to play Bejeweled: Twist for more than 5 minutes, and got to work on the sci fi script with my manager's notes.
Ms. Bizarro's Power Salad - packed with healthy carbs and meatless protein (not vegan; sorry but I love cheese wayyy too much)

- Dice up: Sweet peppers (green, red or yellow), cucumber, Gala apple, avocado, cherry or Roma tomatoes.
- Add a couple tufts of zesty sprouts, a small handful of walnuts, and feta cheese.
- Top with tahini instead of salad dressing.

Oh I'm workin' my way back to you babe...
With a burning love inside...
Oh, maybe that's just heartburn from ALL THE FREAKING STRESS.
It's okay, though. I'm okay. I stayed home last night instead of going to either Yoga or counseling and "burrowed," which means I did some light housekeeping and then wrapped up in a blanket and read my books on surfing, then watched the Red Sox win the ALDS East. Wah-hoo!
On a very sad note, my sister-in-law's father died yesterday morning. I am sending lots of prayers and hugs to her and her family. He was a very funny guy and I liked him a lot. He and his wife were very welcoming to me and my Mom when we visited out there (in Mass.) and I know he will be missed by many.
I am trying to remain positive in the face of a lot of uncertainty and unfortunate news. It doesn't help that today at the chorch will the be third funeral in as many weeks (and each of them old ladies).
This is a rough time but I know I'll get through it. The good news is that I am starting to feel more at home here in our little City on the Edge of Forever (Star Trek reference for those who care). I am starting to feel like I have real potential here, and I am finding activities and people who suit me. These are all slow in coming, but they are coming, and I am starting to relax about the idea of being here for at least the next few years, if not Forever. We'll see how things pan out after Bizarro gets his master's degree and where we think we're headed.
In the meantime, I am finding ways to beat the winter blues, which means investing in some really good outerwear, a light box, Yoga, and eventually swimming at the Y, which I intend to start up once I've paid Mom's way into the assisted living place.
I will be giving my notice at the church in a couple weeks; a conversation I am not looking forward to. The more I put it off, the harder it becomes, and I knew this would be the case, which is why I wanted to do it a few weeks ago. But, with Mercury in Retrograde, I'm glad I didn't try to do it sooner.
Okay, time to get ready for work (speak of the devil in Pope's clothing).
