in which I am still alive

Yes, I am still alive. Somehow. I didn't mean to drop off of the face of the earth, I've just been super busy. I had a chemistry exam today AND a statistics exam. And now next week I have a counseling exam, but I'm letting my brain rest. I've been buried under a pile of textbooks, calculators, notebooks, and number two pencils. No time to breathe, which has not been good. I ended up in the ER the week before last due to repeated absence seizures. I'm okay now, I'm only having one or two a day, which I think is due to lack of sleep and stress. So, lesson, don't let yourself get super stressed and sleep at least eight hours a night.

The other day marked 3 years without purging, which is just pretty fucking epic. I'm super proud of that. That's been a really hard three years, but I made it! Shooting for four now. =)

And a super happy Mabon to you all! If you have no idea what I'm talking about, you're probably not pagan. Mabon is the fall equinox. Which is today. Duh.

love,
Alice

Hello, Fall

It's one o'clock currently and I actually need to wear a sweater. Do you know what that means? Well, it means that it is finally fall here in the lone star state. Time to officially retire all sun dresses, short skirts, and shorts and break out the jeans, jackets, and long-sleeved shirts. The leaves are just starting to change colors, but this is Texas and they'll probably only get slightly yellow at best. But some of the leaves are actually falling, which means looking like a lunatic stepping on the crunchiest leaves. Of course, there were a bunch of crunchy leaves last month, but that was only because a maple tree got overly excited and all its leaves fell off within a few days. It is currently the only bare tree.

And now there's a squirrel... barking at me? Growling? I don't have a clue what to call that, but he sounds mad. Chill out, Tommy, I'm twenty feet away from you and you're also in a tree. It's okay, man. Nooo, be quiet! There's a big giant hawk, hide! Don't get eaten!! Okay, hawk is gone. Tommy is safe.

Um, anyway. Happy fall everyone!

Love,
Alice
