Got a new script for my seroquel and slept most of the night - woke up a bit, but went back to sleep. Not manic today. AND no headache. YES!!! Thank you all for you care...support...and concern...YOU ALL ROCK!

My Pdoc told me that he definitely doesn't think I am ready to go back to work any time soon...Ugh... he does want me to have some goals so we worked through a couple that I have been thinking about...

I am thinking about taking taking online graphic design classes or evening classes for software that I don't know too well. I do graphic design and webdesign and I have a website that I sell my own product line of children's shirts. I really haven't done much of anything lately because when I start to work I get VERY manic so I haven't been working at all. We will see what happens. I am going to sign up through Texas Workforce Commission for free classes since I am on unemployment and see if I can get free classes they are supposed to approve you for $7000 in free classes, but it can take up to 6 months - I have time .

Also I am really seriously thinking about taking some commercial acting classes (Acting for TV/FilM). I am a Theatre Major, but I was never interested in commercial work. In Austin there is a ton of work, but it would be mainly commercial. I get probably 10 emails a day for auditions so I figured I would go take some professional classes at night and see where that goes. Just take one class at a time and only audition for roles that I am right for. Some of the classes are pretty inexpensive depending how you look at it. If I take one a month then they are around $150-$300 a month so that is what I am looking into. There is also a a whole program for commercial work being offered from an accredited College that I would LOVE to take, but I just don't have all that money right now. If I get the money from my Dad's settlement then I will do that definitely. Right now I will start piece by piece and take the best classes I can to beef up my resume and get my self back out there after 20 years of not being involved in Theatre (wow). The best part about this is that my husband is supportive of the idea too. Just gotta take it slow.

I feel reset today. Like actually here. Not flat, not depressed, not manic just right - wow how long with this last. I know it won't last long, but I am here for a minute, right?
