My youngest son is coming home for a week starting on Friday. He went to Italy for a conference at the end of the spring semester so I haven't seen him since winter break. This will be the first time that he's not had the stupid dog house to return to. I guess I feel a little guilty that he will no longer be able to easily see his friends when he comes home, but he's only home a few weeks out of the year and that was not worth the price (in anxiety) of continuing to live in that house.
I'm find that I don't remember what he likes to eat and I'm not used to having 3 in the house. So I'm having to plan out the meals. I guess I'll make my run to the grocery store tomorrow. But it will be fun to cook a nice meal. It's something I really enjoy doing.
I have felt great today. No jitters. I can't believe how far I've come since I first joined Daily Strength many weeks ago. I am recognizing that I was depressed back then. Nice to be able to look at all of that in the (I hope) rear view mirror.

I say happy happy joy joy that your son is coming home!! I have found DS to be a great place of support and being able to connect with other people just like ourselves.. especially when you have no support at home. I think I may talk to my Dr. about trying zoloft. I have heard from so so many people how it's really turned their life around. Here's wishing you good times with your son while he is home. Love, Georgia

My parents love when we're home especially now that I'm so far from home. I don't really look forward to the home cooked meals. It's best to go out.
I'm glad you're feeling so much better. I'm sure the house has a lot to do with it. I had many good days after I decided to move. I think it was a relief to leave the old job and then I loved being here.
