I slept in over 2 hours late this morning after that God-awful family reunion yesterday. I know I set my alarm clock, but I don't even remember turning it off. Usually, I remember turning off the alarm, even if I do go right back to sleep.

I went for a jog/walk, didn't fall, but sweated a lot. It is hot, and the humidity is very high after all the rain we had last week. I got back in around 9 AM, and hubby and my daughter were still asleep. Finally, at 10, I decided to take a shower even though I knew it would likely wake my daughter (and it did). She had had insomnia the night before though. She almost never sleeps that late.

I spent a good part of today sorting more books in my office. Books to sell to the used book store, books to donate to the library, books to keep. I am so proud of myself because I boxed all of my eating disorder related books (some fiction, some nonfiction) to sell or donate and NOT keep. That is something that should have been done years and years ago. I've already gotten weird of most of my skinny clothes (I even got rid of the jewelry I wore back then, which was cheap stuff anyway because it reminded me of those times); I think I have one pair of jeans somewhere in the closet; I'll find them once I'm done with my office and move on to going through my clothes. Now, if I could just delete the darn triggering (usually ED-related or SI) songs from most of my walking playlists...ugh. But some of it is I know the lyrics or the beat, and, ugh, some of those songs were very popular back in the day, such as "Anorexic Beauty" by Pulp. Even my husband has that on some of his playlists or the music he plays on the system he's set up in the house (he tends towards songs from the 1980s or electronica). I have never mentioned to him that that one song is listed nearly on every pro-ED website and forum in the ED songs playlist. Perhaps I should.

Sore muscles after a long afternoon of moving boxes filled with books. Hopefully, tomorrow, I can at least get some of the books dropped off at the library. I see my primary care physician tomorrow for my annual exam, and my appointment is around noon, but you are guaranteed to usually wait over an hour past your exam time there, and the used bookstore takes around 40 minutes to drive to. But the local library is a quick drive, less than 15 minutes as long as you go the speed limit through downtown, where the cops are just waiting to hand out traffic tickets.
