A Surprisingly Sane Blog

I think I’m making up for my atypical college experience lately.

I’ve never been a partier or the kind of person who stays out until all hours of the night drinking or hanging out at a bar.  Just not my style.

Since moving to Seattle, though, I have been enjoying the heck out staying up until all hours dancing West Coast Swing at a multitude of venues, inviting friends over for cookies and movies, and participating in all sorts of social activities I never imaged I’d be comfortable enough to do.  Before I died, went to hell, and was reborn, all I did was take care of my kids.  Now I have a nice balance of spending time with my family and taking care of myself.  I’ve actually been *gasp* enjoying life.

Thank you, Prozac, therapy, and my ever-patient husband for making a normal life possible.  Without you, I would still be hiding under the bed sucking my thumb wrapped in a blanky having a conversation with my teddy bear for comfort while the normal people made phone calls and enjoyed other humans with all the other non-crazies.

Okay, so maybe I’m not making up for my lack of college social life.  Maybe I’m just finally doing what normal people do.

What a difference.

I’m not fooling myself.  Every day I still have to work at normalcy… but damn, it sure feels good to smile.
