We had a nice weekend. The heat finally broke and the whole weekend was only in the low 80s. And the humidity was down so we were no longer “breathing soup” as I read recently in a FB meme

We went to that pig roast which again was gross to see the pig but RS loves me so much he got my food for me so I didn’t have to see it! We didn’t stay long, long enough for CR to go on the water slide and eat. Mostly because we knew literally five people and there were at least 50 there.

Today we decided to go to the shore for the day. We got there at 10am which was perfect, not too many people there yet. Only $20 for parking (as opposed to $35!) and I think it was $25 for beach tags. Not sure if any other coastal states do this but here in NJ the beaches requires You to pay for a beach tag for each person. If you don’t want to you have to go to the state park but that fills up quickly. We were too late for that!

The water was absolutely freezing so I just sat in the sand and built a couple of sand castles with CR and retreated back to my chair while my boys played in the surf. We had a couple snacks and then went to our favorite bbq joint to round out the day. Then came back and napped haha.

Tomorrow is my last day in partial and then I’m finally in IOP again, straight up until the last day my clinician could make me come, the DAY BEFORE I start my new job! Ugh. But I get it, I was really quite ill and I can understand why she’d want me monitored for awhile. I did set up an appointment time with my old therapist thank goodness, I didn’t want to have to start over. I’ve been with her 7 years, it would be far too difficult to explain my story in its totality to anyone else!
