Feelin' Groovy


SOO...

It's Friday (as in the day after what is usually shit-tastic Thursday) and I am miraculously doing GREAT! Perhaps it's the forced week of being sober/clean, maybe it's the fact that I'm actually sleeping (seriously like 9p to 8a), maybe I just needed to be home and get some love from my crew (3 sibs, 3 dogs). Whatever it is, I am Mmm Mmm LOVIN' it.

I've also discovered a miraculously simple trick: I pretty much lose all binge craving when I play Steely Dan or Simon & Garfunkel. Who knew? So those bad boys have been keeping me hardcore company while I fill out my *11* grad school applications and try and keep up with my college work while the kids are at school.

After a slow start, not a bad week.

Oh, and weird: I'm strangely not missing J. I haven't known him that long (5 weeks?), but after my tormenting long distance relationship of last year I was expecting some serious emptiness. Not sure what to make of it... I'm entirely enamoured with the man, but not agonizing. Cool, I guess.

Maybe I'm just less dependent then I used to be? That sounds good, I'll go with it.
