I mowed my front lawn today. We have about an acre of lawn (out of 5 acres of land), so it's only part of the job, but it's a start!

I got out of bed and went to work, when what I wanted to do was keep sleeping.

Work up late, at 12.
Fixed the songs on my laptop and transferred them all to my phone (538 songs)
Listened to said songs while creating my self-inspiring poster of 10 of my good traits, using scrapbooking materials and adding little pictures of things I like (minus 2 letters, I ran out).
Went to dinner
Went to Home Depot, bought my first flower ever, An Orchid, which reminds me of the man eating flower on The Wall (Pink Floyd).... (Not sure that was a good idea, but we will find out)
Went to Michaels to get 2 more letters for my poster
Went to the grocery store
Went home, finished the poster, threw a load of laundry in at 10
Came on here to mosey around and created a signature of a song I LOVE
Not too busy of a day....

Today I have been at work all day so here is what I did yesterday:

Worked from 8-3 and on lunch break got cat food/litter, yoga pants and yarn
went to the pool til 5
did the dishes
swept kitchen floor
hard boiled eggs
make kale salad
washed strawberries and cherries
finally got all my plants and herbs potted
changed cat litter
took a shower
watched some pointless tv
read

Even though I am on mood stabilizer which does wonders I am still forcing myself to sit down and take a break from my constant need to accomplish things. Luckily when I am with my boyfriend I am able to sit down and watch a movie and do nothing else without feeling guilty. I think this is a holdover from college/grad school where I felt guilty if I was not constantly studying/writing papers.

Woke up, went to school for the whole day, didn't break down. It was a pretty good day.

Today I was productive with housework and errands. Also, I took time to reach out to some friends and family that I have been sort of pushing away.

Now to cook some dinner!! Baking some sweet potatoes with butter and cinnamon and I have some Argentinian steaks with chimichurri sauce. (this is HUGE for me since before, I couldn't manage to even work the microwave because of depression)

I did some housework, trying to put a "schedule" into effect. A couple of loads of laundry. Helped my daughter pick an outfit for an interview (sounds easy, right?...NOT).

Those sweet potatoes sound good...i think I'll make me some!!

Yumm sweet potatoes
I got my teeth cleaned at the dentist, it was awfully painful. I attempted to weed my garden and drain my pond, but it started raining so done with that. I didn't get much done. In a mixed state so I suppose that's enough. I did get a lot of pacing and body tremors accomplished .

Managed to go to two social functions today... and didn't make a prat of myself, even though I had one very loud audible hallucination at the first, and several visual and audible hallucinations at the second.

That's the plus side. The negative side is that it's twenty to four in the blessed AM and I can't get to sleep...

I went to the orthodontist and had my braces wires changed/tightened, and they decided I needed the god awful chain rubber bands instead.. >.< I survived another pointless day of school(honestly, we didn't do anything today with the year ending and I had no-one to talk to so it wasn't fun.) I practiced my cello and studied my script.

annege42 Very glad to hear you're holding on...

Accomplishment today... did a perfect navigation with 2 different cities public transportation systems(!!!) (and the train b/w them of course). (Haha, the only glitch was buying a ticket, that dropped into the thing at the exact moment the light rail was pulling away. (In my defense, it took off 3 min early. Caught up in about 5 blocks though! --wasn't really trying, it just happened that way.)
(I get lost driving a lot.... and walking... and...so it really was just pretty damn lucky.)

Annege... I'm just glad to hear that you're holding on. The suicidal thoughts will pass... have you talked to your doctor about this?

Today, I managed to watch my two nieces (5 and 2) without having to intervene or become mediator because of a fight. That felt absolutely great!!! I also managed to wake up this morning at 6:30 and not go back to sleep for most of the morning. This is a major accomplishment for me, although I am so tired right now, I could just fall over.
