Monday

Well, I'm doing pretty good today, though once again I was in an induced coma (not literally) because of my stupid new meds.....oh well. Since I got up, I've been doing well. The weekend was good, too, which I think helps some. Friday my sister was here until late, helping me around the house and making me laugh, which I needed. On more than one occasion I said something along the lines of, "STOP IT! YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE ME WET MY PANTS!" She has that affect on me. So we had fun Friday night, and then Saturday (which was an absolutely beautiful day here) Scott and I worked on the roof. We have another leak in the roof right where the chimney and the roof come together, so we were up climbing on the roof measuring boards and all. He even let me use the circular saw, which was pretty satisfying. I felt tough, and it was cool when my neighbor came across the street and saw me holding the saw and didn't make fun of me for it. I'd have thought there would have been some snide remark about the little girl holding a big power tool, but there wasn't, and Scott even said I did a good job cutting, so I felt good about my contribution to the home improvement project of the day. Then Saturday night Scott and I went to Nathan and Rachel's house, and my sister and her husband came over, and we all hung out and talked forever and watched "Walk the Line." I love that movie, even though Johnny Cash was a bid misled and made his share of bad decisions. We all have, really, and I love knowing how his life turned around later. It's a sweet love story, too. Anyhow, we had fun there, got home late, and then got up for church yesterday. Yes, even I got up and made it for church! It was good there - both sisters were there, which was really good. Yesterday afternoon we had a seminar at church on managing your money, which I thought was going to be torture and immensely boring, but it wasn't bad and I actually learned a thing or two. I could stand to learn a lot about managing my money......that's not exactly a strong point of mine. Came home, scrambled around to do laundry and stuff, since we hadn't done it all weekend, and I entertained Scott while he made sermon CDs for church by reading him poems from this book I got for Christmas. It was a really good weekend, though it was really busy, and I'm feeling good today. I have a counseling appointment tonight, which (to my shame) I actually considered rescheduling because I might get home late for 24....but Scott convinced me (or reminded me) that my mental health is a little more important than some TV show....even if it IS 24. =) So...yeah. That's where I am today. I'm working on a couple of projects here today, and I may even get up the courage to check my work email, for like the first time in FOREVER, though I have to say I still little jittery and jumpy and anxious when I even so much as think about work. I don't know what to think about that. I'm still trying to figure things out.
