Wonderful Weekend

I had an amazing time last weekend.  Any time that I get to go to a concert is a good time.  Add in any time that I get to go to Seattle is a wonderful time.  Then, I got to spend the weekend with my two best friends and my niece and nephews. 

I can't express how much I love it when I get to go home.  I really love everything about being home.  I love the weather, the attitude of the people.  There are very few things I find that can't be made better by being in Seattle.

Jonas Brother's Concert was amazing.  The JoBros did not let down.  They had a wonderful mix of new and old songs, were so full of energy and expressive.  Kevin is looking good.  Nick and Joe are always looking good, and appeared to be in a competition over who could do the best vocal acrobatics (I think Nick won.).

Felicia Day was also amazing, she is so kind hearted, and it's obvious whenever she speaks in public. She answered so many questions and was truly enchanting.  She shared her weird, encouraged everyone else's weird and informed folks that therapy is amazing and that maybe, if you're struggling with your weird, you should try to get some therapy.  I loved her and her book.

Embrace Your Weird by Felicia Day is an amazing book.  It is truly encouraging, empowering and a real creative outlet.  I don't say this often, but I highly encourage the actual book.  Don't get the digital or the audio book.  For this, you want a book that you can scribble in, spill on, rip up and maybe even throw.  The exercises are wonderful, the message is beautiful and clear. If you're interested in creating, being weird or creating weird, I highly encourage buying this book.

Mother's Day

I've disappeared for a few weeks (again).  It's because I was dealing with the real world consequences of being chronically ill and chronically poor. These are two things I link together so tightly I almost didn't put "and" in that sentence. I was being kept at a friend's house for a little over a week because I live alone and they were afraid I was going to die.  No one actually says that,  but the simple reality is that no one is saying, "Geeze you are kinda sick and gonna totes get better so please sleep on my couch." There were other reasons too; the simple life goes on when you're sick, birthdays and funerals. I haven't had hours at work which I'm thankful for because I couldn't conceivably go to work. I had a regular-person doctor's visit which turned into several "lets check if you have cancer" visits.  I don't. Yay for that. I removed one medication and added another. I'm having one medication taken aw

Thankful Thursday

I am thankful for my father. He keeps stepping up his dad game, which honestly throws me off a bit. It's kinda great. I am thankful for my sister.  Always. Best thing. I am thankful for my best friend Brad. I am thankful for work. I love supporting those kids, even when they say they don't like me. I am thankful for the days, minutes and moments where I feel in control of my depression. I am thankful for my coworker Jason.  He really made my day. He remembers when I have to leave and takes note of the good I am doing. He tells other people. Basically, he is my favorite (which is hella hard to do because we have an awesome staff.)

I don't think I can express how important support is when making a change.  All things are easier when you have support.  One of my awesome thing about building up support is that you can choose any way you want to do it.  You can blog for support (Hey Y'all!), use community sights like Lift , SparkPeople , Weight Talk community, use twitter, facebook, or go to the people around you.  In person support does add certain benefits you can't get online, but it's all about steps. I'm testing out a lot of these different communities.  I want to find the right fit for my needs, and the best way I know to do that is to try out some different things.  Right now, I'm in love with pinterest and with the International Geek Girl Pen Pal club .  One of the best things about becoming an Iggle is that you get support in a dozen different ways with everything you want to do.  My letter writing as a hobby is becoming a real thing. (I'm hoping to keep growing my creativity
