Just a few hours ago I finally plugged back into the “real world.” The idea terrified me. I wouldn’t have turned my cell phone back on had I not needed its alarm function to wake up for work in the morning. Surprisingly enough, unplugging and avoiding all contact with the outside world for 48 hours was far easier than I imagined. I spent the weekend breathing.

Charley has finally learned how to jump up onto my high bed, so she spent much of the last two mornings licking my face at half-hour intervals until I finally got myself up. Yesterday I ate nothing but food that was awful for me all the while watching movies that were good for me. I plunked myself in front of the TV for no less than ‘The Nanny Diaries,’ ‘Georgia Rule,’ and ‘Rest Stop.’ I slept lots, ate lots, cuddled with Charley lots, spend a lot of time with my mom and aunt and spent time thinking about myself. Maybe it sounds selfish, but it’s essential. I have a lot of thoughts swimming through my head right now, none of them restful. Here’s hoping that I’ll be able to articulate some of them on here in the next few days.
