Had an earthquake here in the northeast today. 4.8 magnitude, strongest ever recorded in this state. Since we’re not used to them here it was a moment of confusion for us, especially since the heat had just come on. We thought our heater was about to explode! Until we saw all our neighbors outside. No damage or anything. My cat didn’t even move from her spot on the couch. She’s pretty lazy :-D

I’ve been doing well still. Been four weeks since last ECT and no problems. I’m probably going to skip my May 3rd appt and take a break for the spring/summer. Hopefully I won’t need it again in the fall but that is where I start to stumble. When it gets cold and the light goes away my brain starts to get out of sorts. But man, if I could go a long time before needing another series I would love it. I hate ECT.

I’m on spring break this week. The weather was miserable, three days of pouring rain and then cloudy and chilly yesterday and today. Of course when I go back to work on Monday it’s going to be gorgeous oh well. I got some stuff done around the house. I planned on switching out all my long sleeve shirts for my tee shirts but haven’t gotten that far. I’ve lost enough weight that I might be able to wear my XL shirts instead of my 2xl ones. But maybe not, I don’t like tight clothing. I’ll have to try them on. I’m 2/3 the way to my first weight goal. 30lbs. Then I’ll try to take the next 30lbs off. We’ll see though, it’s been very slow going for me. I tend to lose a pound then gain two back after two days of “cheating”. Like a weekend. I “cheated” yesterday for my birthday and had my red velvet cheesecake AND a medium hot fudge sundae (not at the same time!). I woke up restless several times during the night, I think from the sugar overload.

We went to the arcade today and collectively won 201,000 points. I love the crane games and a specific game called pearl fishery. CR loves that game and the Yahtzee game. He won the super bonus on Yahtzee! RS won tons of ticket rolls from the crane games and won two 12,000 ticket rolls. All in all a good day.

Now I get two more days and then must return to work. Work straight through for the next two months until Memorial Day, then only four weeks after that until summer break! So crazy how fast this year is moving. CR will be in 8th grade next year. Be still my heart! Almost high school!

Hopefully I will stay stable for a loooong time.
