starting over...again

So... stuff has been rough.
Ever been so mentally exhausted that you just don't seem to live in your brain anymore...you just live in your body and do what you gotta do until it's done?

That's what I've been doing.

I will admit: it is a stress to write this post right now. I finally moved my laptop to my hubby's desk so that the cat will leave me alone! Why on earth he decides to distinguish between a desk and an armchair, I have no idea. The past two months as we have been moving into the apartment, I have actually been using my laptop on my lap and Spock, our Tabby, says

"Oh, she's sitting down just staring at that electric thingy looking so bored. I think I'll climb all over her and smash myself in her face and then she won't be so bored. Hey, look, little fingertips clicking those little flat keys! Fun, fun, fun to play with!"

And now that I'm at the desk, he's nowhere in sight. Go figure.

I had an epiphany today. (Was it today? They all blend together, now.) I thought, if I want to become a certain way, I should not do things that will make it more difficult to obtain that 'way'...

I was remembering what provoked my 3 year study of extreme nutrition: fasting.

I feel like I am finally coming back to my senses...returning to a place where I can receive peace...

Very well, I begin again.
