Nerves

-
I picked up our packets today. Shirts, timing chips, certificates, special dog tags, everything we need for Sunday. Yes, Sunday is the Bataan. It's becoming real all of a sudden and I'm feeling a little nervous.

Yesterday I had one of my funk days. Haven't had one this bad in a long time. I wonder if it's all the stress lately. I was just horribly depressed all day. It got much better once J got home. He's amazing at pulling me out of my funks.

Today I took Remy to the dog park to meet some friends. He got to play with the neighbor dog for a few minutes, too. So he's tired. He's spending the night with a great girl I met through OCSA tomorrow night. She pet sits and will have him and a little chihuahua along with her two cats. Brave woman. If you need a pet sitter in El Paso, let me know and I will pass on her info!

I've rather felt like I'm on the verge of a migraine all week. I somehow think it will stay like this, on the edge, until my stress level drops. But that probably won't be till after next weekend. If then. I do hope that it will just go away without the migraine.

In just a bit I need to eat some dinner (leftover pasta) and head over to the Team Captain University for Relay. I'm taking J's pith helmet as an example of a "funny hat" for one of our lap themes. Then I'll come home and crash. I'm so tired.

Tomorrow J and I might head over to the west side for a bit, but we're pretty much just taking it easy. Making sure we have everything ready for Sunday. Might need to go pick up some more energy bars. Then we'll make a nice pasta dinner and go to bed early.

Sunday we'll be up super early. Need to be up at White Sands by 4amish. Which means leaving here around 3amish. Yeah. I'm making J drive. When we get back, we'll pick up the mutt and come home and crash again.

Ok. I should eat now. Loading up on carbs a little. Just a little. I eat lots of carbs anyway since I'm totally addicted to them. OH, I did have to dig out my belt for my favorite jeans. They won't stay up anymore.

working on it

so since i last posted, i've had some level of migraine pain every day. migraines make me depressed, and i'm pretty sure depression gives me migraines. So i've set myself somewhat of a schedule, a routine for working out. Tuesday, thursday and Saturday are crossfit. Wednesdays are training runs, whether i do an easy run, intervals, whatever. Fridays are cardio of whatever variety I can do. Sundays are long runs, which right now is about 3 miles. Mondays are rest, which can include yoga and dog walking. it felt good to get to workout today, but i had to take it slow and scale back. i'll try to get out and run tomorrow morning. so that's my goal this week, to workout every day till Monday. and to take my meds every day because i often forget, especially when i'm migrainy or depressed, which is what these meds are supposed to fucking help. it's what misty would call the merry-go-round of knives. if i can get into a routine and schedule, i think it will

because I can

I've decided to reboot this blog as a therapeutic space for myself. Not sharing on social media or anything, just sharing randomly on teh inter webs. because, depression. mild anxiety, but mostly depression. and maybe someone else will stumble onto this and not feel quite so alone. I'm still not super comfortable talking about my depression on social media. I'm going to talk about it here. I'm going to let it all out and maybe even find some answers. background: diagnosed with dysthymia after reaching my lowest point. currently on bupropion and sertraline. I belong to a Crossfit box and try to attend 3 days a week. OH yeah, i also have chronic migraines. my pain levels stay low but i get all the symptoms under the sun for days on end. strength training has become my go-to exercise because even on migraine days I do manage some light weights. I used to run, and i loved running. in my low depression I didn't run and it's much harder for me now. I got into

In Need of Advice

-
Most of my local girlfriends follow me here, so I can ask for advice. I'm a messy person. I always have been. J knew this when we started dating. He knew it when we moved in, when we got engaged, when we got married. He still isn't used to it, and eventually we argue a little about the state of the house. I've never been very organized. I'm a stacker. I like to make stacks and piles, and then leave them there. Fortunately, I'm not a afraid of germs or dirt. Or maybe that's unfortunately, since it would probably help me keep a cleaner house. I see my friends' houses and don't know how they do it. Especially the ones with kids. How do you keep your counter so clean? How do you keep things put away? Another part of the problem is that I don't like cleaning. I mean, sometimes I actually say, "Oh, let's do some dishes. That sounds like the thing to do now." Sometimes. Other times I look at my dirty dishes and want to just throw them
