Review: Sleep Like a Baby

Sleep Like a Baby by Charlaine Harris
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sleep like a Baby is a great Aurora Teagarden book. It picks up so shortly after the last, I was glad I read them back to back. Aurora's life has changed a lot, with the new baby and it's exciting to see how being a mother changes her priorities and attitudes. There is a lot of action in this and an amazing mystery. As always, asking questions until the very end. Absolutely everything you want from a mystery.

Pile of dead kids

Yesterday, I said I was thankful for my therapist. Honestly I am not sure that I am thankful. EMDR therapy is the right kind for me, it is working in an expansion of what I believe. Yet I don't want to deal with the past memories that we are going to be looking at. They suck. I am unsure if it is me holding back or maybe she really sucks. I am so triggered being back in Spokane and in this house. It feels like I am walking through memories sometimes. Today I keep thinking about a bunch of dead kids. They used to be my friends or clients I worked with, but at some point as I kept getting older and they didn't, those friends and clients became kids. Worse than that, they became dead kids just chilling in my mind. I say pile of dead kids because it is rare that only one comes up in my mind at a time. If one starts coming into my memory (even a positive memory) another one comes, Until I end up with all of these dead k...

Starting the Journey

If there is one good thing about moving, it's that when you make a move you have to make a lifestyle change. So, why not make another? I'm going to get healthy! Actually, I'm not. I've love to say the journey we're starting now leads to getting healthy, but the reality is a little different. Part of the journey you're joining me on is to find a lot of acceptance around that simple fact. I feel a bit Bilbo about this whole thing. Halfway through my journey towards healthy, I got an awesome treasure, and it came with some super cool effects. It also came with a huge downside. My treasure isn't a ring that lets me be invisible and links me up with a rather terrifying evil. My treasure is a series of diagnoses; they give me the power of treatments and mean that I can't be healthy. I've been diagnosed with migraine with aura, elevated blood pressure, menstrual migraine, patellofemoral pain syndrome, irregular menses, prementrual d...

#LoveYourBodyChallenge

I began participating in Molly Galbraith's love your body challenge. It's been truely wonderful to spend some time focusing on the good my body does. It is pretty easy when I'm being sick to focus on the bad. It's very easy to be mad at and to hate my body. The reality is that my hormones (depression and migraines) were being regulated by some pills. I've come to face the reality that my body doesn't accept birthcontrol as an answer to these problems very long. For the 3rd birthcontrol in a row I noticed that I hit a certain point and I can no longer depend on regulation. It isn't the end of the world, but it makes reality, positivity, and thankfulness more difficult to find. I've been in pain more days than not recently. I find myself unsure of the last full day I went without any pain in my knees, lungs, or head. I'm hopeful to find more soon. I've been doing great work with the mantras from the Love Your Body Challenge. I'm fi...
