Restless
Ok, here it is, 8:13 a.m. and I am wide fucking awake. I woke up at 2:30-ish, which means I slept about two and a half hours. Shortly after I woke up I had the urge to crochet. I feel like an old lady or something, but I have to keep my hands busy, it is the only thing that challenges the restlessness.

Hanging with My Niece and Nephew
Yesterday, Jacob and Taylor wanted to stay the night. I let them because there are some issues going on at their home and I thought they needed some time away from there.
I had to get my oil changed so we went to Wal-Mart. As usual, the wait was 2 hours. I’ve been putting it off for about 3k miles so I knew I needed to just be patient and get it done. The kids, Tori, and I decided to kill 2 hours in Wal-Mart.
The arts/crafts section is right next to automotive so it was the first thing we seen as soon as we walked in the store. We decided to check it out. I swear we spent an hour alone on those aisles.
I bought some crocheting stuff1 and a weaving loom. I love weaving and I’m good at it. Crocheting on the other hand… I tried to teach myself how to do it about 5 years ago, and I was able to do a few basics, but I quickly lost interest. Hopefully, this time I’ll give it more time. My great-aunt knows how to do it, so I’ll probably have her teach me. It’s so much easier to learn from a live person instead of a book. After we got home we all went to work on the crafts that we got. I enjoyed spending time with the kids, like a family.
I’m starting to hear the ticking of my biological clock.

I Made it to the 6 Month Mark!
Woohoo! It’s been 6 whole months (as of today) since I relapsed and self-injured. I’m excited and proud. June has been my relapse month for the past 2 years, but not this year.
I certainly won’t say there hasn’t been any temptation to cut or bloodlet during the past 6 months because I’d be lying through my fingers. However, when the urges presented themselves I resisted and that is what matters.
Charlotte1 would be so proud of me. I think I’ll leave her a message later.
I think I’ll do something special for myself today. I deserve it.
