I had such a great day yesterday. "For the first time in my life, I know what contentment feels like," I told Dad as I was taking my medications last night. This led to a discussion of some of my various shenanigans when I was very ill.
"You remember the time you thought Emeril Legasse was coming to pick you up and fly you to New York for his TV show?" Dad asked.
I laughed. "I can't believe I thought that at one time. I thought it was real though."
My medications always make me dopey and drowsy, and soon I was in the bed for another day.
Today? I am feeling kind of shaky. Not too bad. But I've had a few close calls with anxiety attack symptoms. I was lying in the bed this afternoon watching Stargate: Atlantis, and my heart started to furiously race. I lay down flat and still, and got to feeling better.
I do have somewhat of a treat to look forward to tonight. I've got a big pot of vegetable soup on the stove. The wonderful smells have been torturing my taste buds for hours. All I have to do is make some cornbread.

I don't comment often, but I do enjoy reading your blog.
I'm glad you're having more good days than bad...
and congrats on 9 months sobriety!!! (it might be a few days shy - but close enough)
Are you expecting to get any remnants from Fay?
Hi Andrew. How have you been? I was just wondering how in the world you got your blog to have sidebars on both sides. Gadgets on both the left... and the right. I tried to figure it out but I messed my whole blog up last night trying to see what I could do. :D

I HATE that when that happens!
g'nite!

It's funny that you mention soup in the middle of August. :) I've been eating it all week for lunch...just been having a craving. :) Hope today is good too!
Andrew,
So happy to hear you're having a better day! The soup you're making sounds awesome and it's good for you too. Will make everything feel better. Too bad Maggie can't have some? LoL
i think it's great that you have the ability to laugh at some of your "shenanigans" -
who made the soup?
why aren't you waxing poetic about fay - the storm down in florida - thought you'd be into that!

OMG, homemade soup and cornbreak is absolutely my favorite meal in the whole wide world!!! It's a little too hot for me right now to enjoy soup, but I can't wait for the first cool days of fall because you can be assured I'll be making us a big pot of soup and a big pan of cornbread. That, my friend, is better than steak!
