Adjustments

I'm not alone 'cause the TV's on, yeah.
I'm not crazy 'cause I take the right pills every day and rest.

-- Jimmy Eat World, Bleed American

Just a few adjustments I've made recently:

Taking a hand-full of pills morning and night religiously.

Learning to cook for one again.

Having a set "bed time" (usually, still working on it).

Rediscovering the true art of belching. Not the wimpy little burps mind you. I'm talking from the diaphragm, throat relaxed, booming off the top of your esophagus belches.

Listening to the music that I want to, when I want to.

Being comfortable at home by myself (with the TV on, yeah). I probably walked around Wal-Mart and the Mall more in the first few weeks of being on my own than I ever did in my entire life before that.

Making new friends and realizing that some old friends are weirded out by me now (I'm not as troubled by this as I thought I might be, it's caused me to realize that some of my old friendships might not have been as healthy as they might have seemed).

Generally, beginning to accept who I am and to get over myself.
