Coming out of my fog...

I finally feel like I'm surfacing from this depressive swamp, almost 1 year after seeing how bad my dad was, 9 months after he was hospitalized, 7 months after he left the nursing home AMA for his nearly 2 week bender and 6 months after the last time he called me. 

I can't decide if I'm stunned by how long it took me to surface or at the fact that I may have actually done it. I'm looking around and noticing how dirty my house is and wanting to clean it. I'm making cards to send to friends. I'm contemplating the holidays...happily.

I think this means he's about to call or worse. But I think I have a better grip on things now. Game on. My rules.

I miss you guys, all you folks I've never actually seen.

Thanks for the shout out, Ylime. I haven't been getting to OS as much lately. Both OS and FB are blocked at my new job. FB I understand. But OS? Something about adult language. Whatever. Puritanical fuckers. I'm finding that when I don't check OS daily or at least every other day, I get lost. I read you all after too much time has passed and I feel like I'm eavesdropping. Also, I love the FB status updates. But the motley horde of my FB friends freaks me out. You see, I live in the Bible Belt and have some friends who actually fit in around here. Most of them are very tolerant and open-minded or some just prefer to avoid socio-religio-politico topics with me. So on FB I have all of the OS'ers witty updates and then I have a few stand-out local friends ("Soandso is just in awe of Sarah Palin" and "Whosibob is praising God without ceasing"). Makes me miss you all the more. MUST. RESOLVE. TO. READ. BLOG. MORE. OFTEN.

On the cover of the Rolling Stone..

Well, not exactly. I was quoted in a regional California lifestyle magazine, 805 Living, in an article on picky eaters. The author consulted me as a resource on treating kids for oral motor/feeding problems from an occupaitonal therapy perspective. I've never done anyhting like this before, so I'm puffing out my feathers a bit. Tweet!
