Jackie’s Brain

Just some stuff that’s bouncing around in my brain

I can read again! May 8, 2008

Filed under: Uncategorized — Jackie @ 3:18 pm

I never thought that being able to read would be an issue.  Well, it has been for the past little while, and my brain seems to be waking up again and allowing me to focus.  I couldn’t even read fiction for the longest time.  I’ve been doing some reading during the last couple of days here in Kelowna, and it’s so soothing to my soul.  Reading and journalling are 2 things that usually bring me great joy and peace, and I think they’re coming back to me.  Brain is still a bit fuzzy, but this is progress people.

I also never knew that things like getting out of bed sometime before afternoon, showering, and eating could become a problem.  I’ve learned that over and over in the past months.  Don’t ever complain to me about how you might be eating too much…well at least not for a little while.  Sure, there needs to be a limit on what we consume, but having an appetite and being able to eat is a sign of health.  Something else I’ve learned is how I can push myself when I have to.  Over the last 2 months I’ve been working at an accounting firm – tax season – and I got out of bed simply because I HAD to.  That’s probably one of the things that kept me going…it could also be one of the things that nearly killed me.  Who’s to say.

Anyhoo, I CAN READ AGAIN!  Jackie is super excited about this.

 

I’m Alive People! May 6, 2008

Filed under: blogging, home life — Jackie @ 8:02 am

Well, I have obviously been away from my blog for a while.  Life has taken a bit of a toll on me lately – or is it me who has taken a bit of a toll on me lately? – and with that comes a brain dead Jackie who can’t even put a sentence together.  I think I’m coming out of one of the darkest stages of my life to date.  WOO!  Don’t want to get too excited or anything…I am cautiously excited and filled with hope.  I ALMOST even feel like myself again.  So if anyone actually stops by here at all anymore, HI :)   My intentions to get the blog fired up again are good.  Now let’s hope these intentions translate into action this time.
