Well, it helps me sleep better, and there’s nothing I’m afraid of more than a night of tossing and turning wishing I were asleep. I feel like a hypocrite clicking on the link that says that I WANT to get off xanax. On the one hand, I love it….it’s a guarantee that I’ll sleep well all night. On the other hand, I wish that I could sleep better like in the good old days. Grief and sudden loss takes quite a toll on people’s sleep patterns.

I went to audition for my community choir. I sight read well, and though I don’t have an astounding solo voice, I am a solid member of a choir. Anyway….I auditioned, and they told me they were “concerned” about my projection. Ugh. I don’t need a blow to the only part in my life that I have an ego about. Even though they are “concerned,” I can still join them and ask them for advice on how to improve. Just when I thought I could finally want to do something. Oh well, we’ll see.
Okay….on September 12th, I will have my first tennis lesson. It’s a Tennis Academy! 90 minute weekly lesson, plus an additional 2 hours a week of guided tennis play. .That’s 3.5 hours of tennis per week…..I don’t know if I’ll even like it. But if I commit all that money into it, I better at least give it a try.
