Sleepy Time

I've never been good about going to bed early enough that I dont sleep in till 11 am if I've got nothing to do the next day. But I do have things - just not work things. And I should be asleep right now. But I'm writing all of you.

Katie's at Del Amo again and she'll be going straight to a rehab center in Pasadena. Insurance covers 30 days, which is great news for my parents. I'm worried that 30 days isn't enough, but I guess that's not something to worry about just yet. My parents have finally reached their threshold and I feel like family therapy helped them get there. At least it helped Mary and I. It's been difficult getting used to living far enough away that I can't give my mom a hug right now and tell her she's doing the right thing. It's easy for me to shut Katie out and bitterly ignore her, but I know it's tearing my mother apart (and father too - he just doesnt show it as much). So that's something I need to work on...being there for people even when I can't physically be there.

On a lighter note, I went to my first ever yoga class at the gym. First ever class, actually. I was nervous about everyone being much more advanced, and they were, but it wasnt a huge deal. I was led to believe that they dim the lights, but no such thing happened tonight so all were on display. I saw many a bare belly! And everyone got a peek at my thong...I wore the wrong pants. I'm going to try a different location and maybe a different class...mix things up a bit. Stay tuned...I know you're on the edge of your seats.
