The weekend is another brick of the past. Delved deeper into the wedding planning w/my parents over a taco dinner @ their house. Kevin & I grilled his ribs, & this time they were edible. 2.75 hours were spent in the movies theater viewing Pirates 3. Focus on the length of time. So a rather pleasant weekend. Today my father receives some more back injections for his transverse myelitis. I think the medication is steriodal?
My mom is meeting me following work to drive to a potential florist. I am fighting this whole wedding planning. The less stress alternative sees Kevin & I marrying in Italy w/honeymoon to follow barring our vows are honored. Then flip flop I want to meet him @ the end of the aisle to exchange our vows in front of family & friends. So I have to keep positive. Mind over matter. My mind tends to bend & break depending on the situation. I am working on me...famous unfulfilled words! No, really, baby steps & saying I am OK for progress or digress made.

My very 1st post. My dreams have lately been memorable, a 1 sentence description, & a result from anxiety. My last involved me sitting @ a desk & being told to catheterize myself. I generally awaken btwn 0300 & 0400 to then dream as I sleep off & on until my 2 alarms jerk me awake. Why am I anxious?
Kevin (fiance) drives to Atlanta today with his brother to see the Kings of Leon @ the Tabernacle...a venue that is both cool in architecture but hot in temperature. We caught the Roots there a little late & winded our way to the balcony. Stagnant air & crowded. It is my least favorite concert thus far.
Why turtle?
I viewed the PBS special on a loggerhead's approx. 1.5 year solitary journey from Mexico to Japan to lay her eggs. Her perseverance (innate) & slow, fluid movement were beautifully inspiring. She knew for the sake of her life & offspring, she could not give up life no matter the difficulty or treachery that lay in her path. She kept forward motion. That is living.
