Close Calls With My Dearest Mental Illness…

Gluttony with comfort foods was part of the cure, and lots of Clonopin induced sleep as well when gluttony in front of the “news and views” television wouldn’t work.  I am feeling much better today – bright eyed and bushy tailed as my grandmother would always say when I was truly feeling my oats.  Sometimes, that’s just how the ball rolls for me – my brain induced miasmas. The amazing thing was that I managed to not miss any days volunteering which I feared very much would happen. I also didn’t get on my blog and moan and groan imposing upon you all about it as well.  I am very, very pleased about that. It would just be so very easy to tell Pauline I am not coming in on a certain day with little repercussions easily taking advantage of her good natured demeanor and kind disposition.

Well, I need a gallon of milk, loaf bread, and some good old fashioned flirtatious encounters of the good kind to set me out on my right foot today.  I am headed to the dollar store for milk and peanuts and then to head home to read all my favorite blogs and fix a comforting and nourishing lunch.

I think it's great that you've managed to not miss any days volunteering despite your ups and downs. You're right: "it would just be so easy..."
