Perseverance

Just what I needed to hear today.  I had a lot of wiggly naughty dogs today.  To the point I had to take an anxiety pill at work I was so on edge.  Things are really tight (financially wise) and if it wasn't for the coins that my sister Lara gave me for grooming her dogs yesterday, I wouldn't have enough gas to get to work tomorrow.  Between her coins and mine I cashed $34 :-)  WOOT WOOT!  Was able to pick up my Zyprexa, so I don't have to start all over, the walmart just south of us had it in stock, otherwise I would have had to wait until Tuesday.

I think a lot of my life right now is getting broken down into stepping stones.  I know that like my cleaning etc, and my recovery, What seemed like a Mountain (my depression), is now seeming more like a hill, I am climbing to the top and want to stay on top, I love feeling this good, I love not crying on a daily basis, I love that my husband and I's relationship is getting stronger and stronger each new day.  I love that I was able to find an amazing counselor who helps me out so much.   I love that I am having to get my medications refilled.....yeah I know I'm a weirdo, but it gives me such a feeling of accomplishment and I feel awesome about it.  I am at the point where now I have to get my meds from Medco (mail order pharmacy) because I've had them all refilled 3 times which is the max with our prescription coverage.  That makes me feel good....3 months!  I have taken my pills every day twice a day for 3 months.....well except for the morning of surgery.  I am so proud of myself!

I just want to post that my baby brother is welcoming his first baby girl into his family next year.  I'm going to be an Aunt again.  They have been trying for quite some time to have another baby, and he already has 2 cute little boys, Brigg and Brayden.  He moved to St. George a few months ago, it seems like my family is getting more and more spread out now.....my oldest brother lives in Canada, and then mike moved to St George, and now Lara is moving further away from everyone.  Not sure that I like that :-(    So it will just be Jen (older sister), Jon (Estranged from family younger brother) and Rob and I living close.  But Mike and Lara both were offered great opportunities career wise that they had to take.

Saturday 9: Good Morning, Heartache

Trying another new thing called Saturday 9, it can be found here:  http://samanthasaturday9.blogspot.com 1) Do you come up with your brightest ideas early in the morning or late at night?   I would say that I am most creative later in the evenings 2) Are you more likely to feel romantic at night or in the morning?  Depends on the day :-), but usually at night 3) Do you shower in the morning, after work or before bed?   I shower in the mornings, it helps wake me up 4) Billie Holiday was just 44 when she died. Is there an artist whose early demise surprised and saddened you?   Not an artist but Heath Ledger's death really shocked me and took me by surprise.  He is one of my all time favorite actors. 5) Billie was known as "Lady Day." Do you have a cool nickname? (If not, feel free to give yourself one right now.)   No cool nicknames, as a kid I was "Woodie or Fruitcake".....don't ask LOL 6) When was the last time you had the blues?   ...
