I ate breakfast and didn't purge.
In Which Something Oooh Occurred

And it felt like a winter machine that you go through and then you catch your breath and winter starts again, and everyone else was springbound. And when I chose to live, there was no joy, it's just a line I crossed. I wasn't worth the pain my death would cost, so I was not lost or found....But when you live in a world, well, it gets in to who you th ought you'd be. And now I laugh at how the world changed me. I think life chose me after all.

I worked out even though I was tired
Turning this (physically) shitty way I'm feeling into a positive (die spirochetes die!!!)

I got through the week.
I'm eating really well and taking good care of myself.
I'm not freaking out despite everything.
I'm dealing with things which scare the hell out of me.
It's almost two complete years since I hurt myself <i>at all</i>.

I think I figured out what the heck is wrong with my car. Poor car. I heart it so.
there is, in the end, the letting go.

When I woke up, I went to swim as opposed to rolling back over for another 2 hours.

I got out of bed
How did you know that I'm all alone today
Oh I feel so scared and I want to go away
I bleed so deep underneath
My soul is screaming
I'm not gonna hide, I'm not gonna run away
I'll uncover the scars, and show you every mistake
Your love has mended my blisters and my bruising shame
Now I'm not ashamed.
Here with you I am safe

I managed to sort out a difficult situation on my own and I coped really well.
