So.... in case you've missed me over the passed few months, here's what's been going on..... i've been really getting to know Redding really well and am totally set in a routine now... i've found this community center for people with mental health issues and i've been hanging out there every weekday and attending a variety of groups on everything from assertiveness to jewelry making and making lots of new friends... it helps fill the time and also i'm learning a lot!!! i have a new therapist that i see twice a month who also specializes in addiction and she is the bomb!!!! i really relate to her well and she is very hands on and seems to always be one step ahead of me with my treatment plan which is how i like it... my sister and i see each other almost every day and have either coffee in the morning or tea in the afternoon or at the very least talk on the phone for a good 45 mins a day and fill each other in on what's going on with ourselves... 

my cat and i are totally roommates although i'm totally not sure who is the alpha one of us at this point... it's been kinda hot lately and i've found her sleeping in the kitchen sink as i'm sure the metal is cool and i don't have the heart to make her get out... she's going to be one in about 2 weeks and i'm having a little party for her and have invited a couple of friends to have cupcakes at the apartment along with my sister and nephew... people are actually bringing presents lol - ok, call me crazy but i thought it was a fun idea and something different to do... people are totally into it....

i totally love my apartment and really feel at home there.... my livingroom is tan and brown; my kitchen is red; bathroom is pink and black and the bedroom is sage green and lots of pink.... i have the cutest balcony with wind chimes and plants and lights that look like flowers that were a mother's day present from my sister.... (only one of my kids called me on mother's day but that's ok, we had a nice brunch at my sister's house) i sit out there at night and just relax.... sometimes my cat comes out with me but then it's not always so peaceful lol - especially when she tries to eat my plants but that's ok too... she's my baby....

turns out i have sleep apnea and am getting one of those masks to sleep in which is a good thing cuz i sleep like shit right now and have done for a while now - i took one of those sleep studies and they decided that i needed one... i go tomorrow to get fitted for it and am totally excited to see how much better i sleep wearing it... i really need to talk to my old roommate (etcactor) to get his opinion on it...

soooooo things are going pretty good... still going to church... had a dinner for the last supper and i was one of the servers, am listening to christian radio most of the time in the car and praying for help with my issues and i think it's doing some good.... i hope everyone is well... send me a comment and say hi.... i will try and write again sooner next time..... Ciao!!!!!!
