Yikes! It is a little after seven am here and I have yet to sleep a wink! D:
With attempting the 'new year, new me'; adaptation, I've been staying on track with taking my medication and vitamins. I just started back up and the strongest anti-anxiety prescription is the target that has kept me up. Since graduating college, my sleep cycles have been up and down - sometimes I'll stay up on FaceTime till two am with my best friends, other times I my eyes will drop and off to bed I go even before the clock hits eleven pm.
I have had the iPhone 6 for year now and I just upgraded to the 8 yesterday. Sure, it's not the fancy newest model but I am happy to be back with Apple and it also pleases my dad since it is covered under the new insurance he's switched the family phones to. In between that, I experimented with the Google Pixel 2 but my clumsy self dropped it and the screen cracked - rendering it useless. Eeep! Yup, not my fondest moment and mom was pissed but we managed to not speak a word of it to my dad. My old 6 was pretty ancient so I'm giddy to have finally upgraded.
Thank you for the welcome back and kind words for my brother and my family - I very much appreciate it!
I reached out to my cousin via social media as I needed a extra bust of strength. Her mother, my aunt; has raised her and her sisters very well. They have always been joy to be reunited with during the holidays while growing up and my aunt has been very close with the Lord. She has such a big loving heart that always brought be such feeling of love as a child. Turns out the family on my fathers side found out about my brother and his latest offense. Ignorance can be bliss but with the truth being out there, my cousin informed me a friend of hers saw it online, recognized the last name and messaged her right away.
My brother requested we need him some books which are on the way to the jail and my cousins and aunt will be writing to him. I was shocked but my aunt reassured me that everyone has been praying for him.
The mood at home has been gloomy, mom has been so depressed with my brothers case and I know my dad feels the weight of the family on his shoulders..
I terribly miss the former livelihood of LiveJoural and blogging..I am so sick of social media, I really would like to leave Facebook altogether but I wouldn't have a way to keep up with my 'friends' list.. Give me the old blogging days back over Twitter any day!
I do need to force myself to sleep, I will be getting back to comments and reading your entries soon!
