Birds

I had such a fun day today!!!

I am not a fan of birds whatsoever but I decided to suck it up and go to Parakeet Point at the NOLA aquarium. The birds are free roaming and land on your head, arm, back, ass…. you name it. I was beyond freaked out!!

Lately, I have been pretty much stuck at my desk doing desk things and living a desk filled life.  I thought me and this desk would be together forever, I thought this desk was the one. But I was wrong. It seems that the more time that the desk and I  spend together, the more I realize we have nothing in common.

The desk apparently is stingy, doesn’t have a lot of  storage space, whereas I need more storage space. The desk also is really tall, and wants me to put items high up but I am short as hell and would need a step stool to reach up there.  The desk is really crowded and likes to be in my face, I like wide open spaces where I have room to work. The desk likes to be junky, I like things to be neat. This desk has no boundaries and things are constantly falling off of it – since as I said – there is no storage space. Therapy has taught me that boundaries are a good thing and I need to start enforcing them.

So, as I was sitting here editing some pictures of pomegranates1 – which is really all the desk and I do together these days – I realized with quite a heavy heart that it’s time for me to move on.  I am not sure how to break this to the desk…. I don’t want for a replacement to just show up one day and the desk to end up on the curb or something.  I was thinking maybe I could maybe start bringing in sections of the new one and let the desk figure out on its own what is  going down. Harsh I know, but I have never been good at break ups.

 

  1. I absolutely love love love pomegranates. You were undoubtedly wondering wtf the picture was about I am sure so now you know []

Butter.Fly.


I just recently came back from yet another vacation. This time to the south Caribbean. Of course, being gone for 10+ days means that I have even more work waiting for me when I get back. But it’s all good. I am finally in a semi-good place and I don’t feel depression weighing me down as it once did.  I still have those bad days but over all, life is good.  I am just going to keep taking it one day at a time.

As our trip wraps up I am taking a look back at Joi being Joi.

The Besties Files - Sara. Dedicated to the women in my life who encouraged me to get up, and keep going.

In 9 days I am off to visit the Big Apple.

I am rather excited, not because it’s a new place for me, but I am hoping it will be what I need to kick my own ass out of this depression.

I tell ya what, depression is really damn depressing. Just when I am feeling ok, something happens where I am like ugh.

Today I want to crawl back in bed and stay for the next 4 days.

And the part that sucks is that NOTHING IS WRONG!

I am not sad, mad, nothing………… just in some ridiculous funk that is sucking the life out of me at the most unexpected and unwanted moments.

Something else craptastic about being depressed? I have gained 15 pounds in the last 2 months.  Lovely.

But there is hope on the horizon. My therapist says I am getting better. She doesn’t want to put me on meds because I am a strong person1. I doubt I would even take them if prescribed. I am not even trying to become a numbed out version of myself.

Sooooooooooooo, for now I shall go through the motions and use the days of the week as my symbolic medication.  Because I know that I am going to be just fine.
