If you'd like to check out her website its www.erinpavlina.com. She's an amazing and very empathetic person to talk to. I'll tell you why I talked to her later :) Thanks for the tips. Wow, Vista, really? I remember it as being a dusty trailer park. But that was a long, long time ago. I can hardly wait to check it out. We're flying down for a super quick house hunting trip May 20-23. Not enough time to really look, so we'll probably end up in an apartment for a while. My poor dog! I’ll take that deal.

Deal? I plan to write about all the things you suggested, and more. Thanks for your feedback. Good to know I am not alone in feeling this way. Thought maybe I was just sabotaging myself! ;) Very cool that you are moving here. Oceanside still has it's "grungy" parts, but also some really nice areas. Ironically, the further inland you move from the beach, the better. If he is working in San Marcos, North Carlsbad and Vista are also good options. Good luck with your move.

When my psychotherapist told me to put it on the back burner and quit focusing on it, I was shocked. And then a psychic (oh, that IS a story...) said the same thing. Once I stepped back and looked, it came as a relief NOT to have to be concerned about "not crashing" all the time. If I crash, well...I crash. But the whole "I am not my diagnosis" is healthy. So tell me more about self-sabotage. Or eating gluten-free. Or a million other things that surround fibro and is still part of other peoples' lives. It can be done :) By the way, moving to San Diego in June. Hubby is trying to go cheap and head for Oceanside. Is it as, um, oh...grungy...as it was when I lived there 20 years ago? I'm voting for Carlsbad. Do you have any suggestions? He'll be working in San Marcos, so from what I remember, not a big commute issue. Really looking forward to checking out the Wellness Center.

I read Misery and it scared me so bad I never read anything else! But I am loving it. He is one smart, funny and insightful man. Thanks for the comment about my blog. It is awesome to know that you think it rocks. Gives me great motivation. You rock too Tiffany! Even if you talk a bit like a sailor. ;) You know I hesitated to read his book On Writing because I have read very few of his novels – well one actually.

King's On Writing. I listened to the audio version. I love him so much. My favorite part was about plot. Stephen says never trust plot. You think that would help me with my writing since my memory is so screwed up. And man I can sound a bit like a sailor too. My favorite word is "Bastards" Everybody is a bastard!

I'm sure there are days you just don't want to think of much of anything. I am proud of you for all you have done and how strong you. You just keep on going even when times are so tough.
