It’s official. It is now too cold to go outside after dark.
Seriously. Last night I went to the grocery and in the time it took to go from my car to the store all I could think about was how friggin’ cold it was. “Ohmigod, ohmigod, ohmigod!”
It’s not going to get out of the teens today and I found it rather distrubing that the weatherman on NPR this morning said tomorrow would be mild and in the 30’s.
The 30’s is not mild.
I really was fine with the weather until last night.
***Well, baking didn’t go as well as

Well, I went to my first therapy session. It was that initial conversation where we discussed what has been going on in my life and what my family history is and all of that.
I discussed my concerns about mental illness in my family on my father’s side. My grandmother is bi-polar, my cousin committed suicide about six years ago, and my other cousin has been diagnosed with aneorexia. My aunt has been in therapy though I don’t know what any diagnosis was. My uncle definitely has something wrong with him upstairs though I doubt he’ll be

Well, somehow, all of the kitchen boxes have been unpacked and the items put somewhere. I still have a lot of organizing to do once everything else is also out of boxes.
My living room was arranged by my parents and somehow they made it all work pretty well. I won’t have to get rid of my coffee table and end tables any time soon — darn it. My mom and I are going to go buy curtains and curtain rods for all rooms but the office and kitchen (the kitchen got my pretty old ones and the

Not surprisingly I have had re-occuring nightmare themes in the last few months. The main theme is that I’m being fired, of course. Even as late as Friday night, the night before I officially moved into my new apartment, I was having dreams that I had lost this job before I even started. I know it’s weird since I’ve been here over two weeks now and all, but the mean nasty old company and then the place in Alabama really screwed me up, I think, more than I expected. I even woke up feeling really

Well, I ended up not going to see Carla and Connie. The reviews in the papers and all over haven’t been pretty for the modern day Victor/Victoria rip-off. Even at matinee prices it would have been $6 to see since the movie theaters up here don’t appear to take my MovieWatchers.com card, which at least got me a free popcorn occassionally or 50¢ off of a soda. So, I just couldn’t justify spending the money to go see a movie that I wasn’t sure was going to be good since I’ve not heard anything from people

I took my car to the shop to get fixed on Thursday. The shop came highly recommended by MJ at work (who also loaned me a sauce pan and frying pan to use until my stuff gets here because she doesn’t cook 
). I dropped the car off shortly after 7:30 a.m. in South Portland and they were nice enough to drive me over to work in Portland. Very friendly and laid back. When I hadn’t heard from them by 1:30 p.m., I gave them a call. The guy who answered, the one

I don’t know why but this morning around 11am, I became can’t-keep-my-eyes-open sleepy. Admittedly looking at documentation is pretty brain-numbing and Needy kept me up most of the night with his OCD and I got up an hour early to take my car to the shop, but really I shouldn’t have been sitting there doing the head-bob thing at my desk. :doze:
Now I just can’t seem to wake up. And it doesn’t help that two days ago someone decided to turn the air-conditioning on in here and it blows right on my freaking desk and it’s friggin’ cold

It’s not a new habit per se but it’s an annoying old habit that seems to have resurfaced in the last few weeks. Needy has restarted obsessing about the litter pan, usually around 4 or 5 a.m. He goes to the litter pan and possibly uses it and then begins scratching the litter, the area around the litterbox, etc. He does this for five or ten minutes and then wanders around the living area (hotel room, suite, apartment) meowing somewhat loudly and usually walks all over me before repeating the process. The scratching is particularly annoying

I don’t know why but I feel completely, physically exhausted. Thursday I went to sleep at 9pm — it would have been 8:30, but “Will & Grace” was new. 
Last night, I turned on the tv and reclined in the hotel bed to watch some baseball movie on some channel or other at 7pm and the next thing I knew it was 9pm and I’d not watched the movie, though I’d seen it before. I turned off the tv and went back to sleep, only to be woken up around 5am by Needy who was wandering the

So, I’m starting a new journal.
I felt that now was a good time what with the moving and starting a new job and the leaving my old life behind and all. Strategically Bent represents my life at the old hospital, my life with the old baggage, my life with everything I was used to including my friends and acquaintences and regular haunts. The Naked Truth is my new life here in Portland, ME including the person I may become now that I have a chance to recreate myself without my saftey net. I have left my
