Is there a medical term for it, Steph?

Depersonalization. Apparently it can exist as a disorder without a discrete cause (like a medication side effect), like depression, anxiety, etc. But it can also happen as a result of some drugs.

Weird as HELL. Tim went to a haunted house with his BFF last night, and I stayed home because I hate haunted houses, and I was going to take a shower, and realized that if I don't have a good sense of being anchored in my body, I really ought not be standing in a shower with no one else home.

I'm choosing to assume it'll go away as the drugs get out of my system.

You've got your own personal haunted house.

I'm spooooooky.

Beth and matt, fyi just in case, I went hunting for some info on my hometown's webpage and found this, useful info about the town and area, about an hour from Pittsburgh. The photo at the bottom? Taken from the hill that stands between my parents house and the town, so, basically the view that I grew up with. Pretty. [link]

Did you ever go to Storybook Forest, Java?

ltc slept through the night last night, and she is asleep now. So, I just took a Benadryl. This probably means she'll wake up in an hour, right?

Steph - sometimes that happens to me with low blood sugar -- I stand on the cold kitchen floor - it helps.

I have a new address. Well, Mom set up my new PO Box in North Carolina.

She said she and my brother and Dad were talking about possiblities of getting me here and my nephew, E was listening. He said "Daddy should rent an RV and take us all there and we can go hiking and" some other stuff. They gently explained that wouldn't be possible even though it would be really cool (and my brother really wants an RV). And then he was asking "where will her dresser go?" and "where will her bed go?" Because he knows I'm going to stay with Mom. Mom explained I was going to leave stuff up there "but what will she sleep on!" Mom assured him she had that taken care of.

She also has 3 bedrooms -hers, Es, and a messy room which is the smallest. Mom asked E if he would feel okay with moving into the messy room (it's the junk room) while I stayed there. And he was worried about it being too far away from Mom's room (he's in a clingy phase). So they counted the steps and discovered it's fewer steps to Mom's room. AND Mom pointed out it would be even fewer steps to my room. He liked that idea.

So I'm stealing my nephew's bedroom. Kinda. Only if he agrees.

But it was cute to hear how he was making suggestions. I can't wait to see him and hug him and have first person awesome stories to tell about what we did together.

askye, that's so adorable and sweet!
