Things are definitely getting better. @June08 - yes, I will be baptized at the Easter Vigil. I will be the only one they have had in a number of years. I am nervous, it almost feels overwhelming. @Blue_Bird I didn't do RICA - our parish is so small, and I am the only one coming into the church, that some of the ladies took me under their wing and have been studying with me privately. Joining the church means so much to me, I have always felt punished by God, it feels so different to be loved by Him. I have been embraced by my community; despite that horrible manic episode I had that scared all my neighbors and my ex-boyfriend. Things are going better with him; I think we're making progress.

@Nammu - I do hope you feel better soon, I worry about you.

@Blueberrybook - Ouchie for your eye! I hope the medicine helps and you get better soon.

@Mountaindewed - Volunteering will be good to start. After 5 years of not working, you jumping headfirst into a stressful retail job might set you back instead of launching you forward, where I know you want to be.

All in all, I am hopeful and positive. My CPAP says I am averaging 9 hours of sleep, although tomorrow will be tough because I have to get up early and we are losing an hour! Don't forget to set your clocks!
