I kinda like this online-diary stuff. Not like anyones going to read it right? I need a break. Between working a job 50 hours a week, and caring for my Grandmother, and trying to start a business, and keep my house clean, and be a good wife to Cathy, where is the ME time? Ive got to get that treadmill I keep talking about. Im tired of being a cow. My wedding day is coming...if I dont do something soon, Im going to put that dress on and look like a float in a Puerto Rican parade! Cinderelephant! Cathy hates when I put myself down, but its who I am. I deal with bad stuff with humor. Unfortunately, its self-depreciating.

I like this site. Great new music to discover, no popups.. Ive met some friendly people too. Abigails always quick to help or answer questions... I hope it sticks around. I really dig some of the music Ive discovered. Holy canoli its 4am. Thank God Im off tomorrow (today) My plan is to turn off the phone, fax, mobile, all of it...lock myself in my room and pass out cold in my giant bed with ridiculously expensive sheets and sleep as late as I want. Yeah, in a perfect world I could do that. In this world, Grandma needs coffee and breakfast. I know that taking her in was the right thing to do and I dont want to say I regret it. Id never let her go to Shady Pines. Having said that, its HARD to be responsible for someone! Cathys been a major help, but its hard to have another person depending on you for everything. If Id wanted this Id have had kids. Im complaining too much. I sound like my Mom. Im gonna go find something on tv thats not an infomercial...

If I may make a suggestion or three. Do turn off all of those things you mentioned except your computer and Fuzz.com and play SB and Circle K uploads to restore your sense of the possible [whoops, that was two things], tell some new friends about your favs, and think of your upcoming wedding. Your "truth values" will most certainly emerge if you do these things. Best wishes for the happy occasion to come.

Wow, you do have a lot going on... Have you tried yoga? Yoga breathing helps me tremendously when I feel overwhelmed, worked up, stressed... Just breathe deep slowly--inhaling and exhaling through your nose--slowly, control it. Repeat.

Let's see... the "ME" time. Yes, when you care, it's difficult to find time for yourself, but you HAVE to do it. People always tell me, "If you don't stay healthy, how will you be able to continue caring for others?" It's hard, believe me, I know.

As for the treadmill. Never mind that for now. Just go for a nice walk outside early in the morning. Start out slow, no pressure, just enjoy it. Then as you continue the routine every day, pick up the pace a bit... Key--just keep your heart rate up the whole time. Don't stop. Walk for 30 minutes straight. Try it.

Hope that helps. I grew up as an athlete, so this shit's in my soul. Whatever you do, have fun. Bring Sarah's music with you--that'll keep you going... ;)
