may day may day

My dear friend, Lexi, sent this to me a while back. I am not sure where it came from, but I like it. She looks like a superhero to me, and superheroes have been in conversation the last day or so.

I do not actually feel like I am fighting the waves today, which is nice. It is a really lovely day here and in the last week all of the neighborhood birds seem to have moved into earshot. At sunrise it can be a bother, but in the afternoon when I am writing, it is sweet to hear them (if not a little bit Disney). Don't worry I have not taken to singing while I work...and I still can't whistle. I did reclaim my desk, which from the archaeological evidence looks like it may not have been cleared off since pre-PTE. Lots of med-related stuff on the bottom, not to mention two years worth of xmas cards. I should think about sending ours out (they were there too). I should have taken a *before* picture...

Speaking of med-related, I have eliminated one more medication from my regimen. I know I have shied away from health posts generally, but it still a big part of my day-to-day, and this is a small victory. I have no expectation of being *drug-free*, but one less is one less. This is especially good as the drug is known to be highly addictive and I have been "stepping down" for ages. For the past week I have been tentative that every pain or moody moment was the dreaded "withdrawal" -- meds can become a real security blanket -- but today I decided: I'm fine. woo hoo!

So yea for me, and yea for a beautiful May Day! Now go pick some flowers! Or if your name is Brandy, have a baby before the weekend!
