Thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone.
![]() I am so exhausted that I gave up and asked my boss if I could take half a day of PTO. He actually said yes and not to worry about the customer for now! I said it was my birthday and wanted to have the rest of the day to myself. Now I'm just browsing some sites and buying some things with the digital gift cards I got as gifts. ![]() One thing I bought so far was a Garmin GPS watch in a pretty blue color. It doesn't match the color of the bike I'll be getting (as it's orange), but it'll coincidentally match my pretty blue gloves I got yesterday. It also keeps track of heart rate like my old Fitbit. Oh, and I got some stuff in the mail today gifted from me to me! I got the equivalent of under armour heat gear, but from a local company that makes them for a lot less money, so that's nice. They were on sale and I used a birthday coupon. ![]() |

Haven't checked in here for a few days. I'm doing good, really, really good. One of my medications was increased a week ago and it is helping my mood tremendously. I feel happy and have little anxiety now.
Today I slept half the day though, so that's not good. I'm obviously not depressed so I'm not sure what happened. Anyway, I'm just enjoying my 2nd read through of the Lord of the Rings. Nothing else going on really. I'm trying to take more walks since the weather is really nice. The Xbox One I ordered will be here next week, so I'm super excited about that. In addition to games, I can also play not only DVDs but Blu ray discs as well which is amazing to me, since I've never had a Blu ray player before, now whenever the library opens back up I can check out movies that are available on Blu ray too in addition to the DVDs. Have phone appointments with my therapist and psychiatrist next week. Will be nice to tell them how well I'm doing. I hope everyone is doing okay ![]() ![]()

I am so tired. I've been working my tail off on various projects at home. Only one more kitchen cabinet to line with new contact paper and that's DONE! It was a lot of work. I also sorted out clothes into various categories, including 1) donations, 2) to my closet, 3) consignment shop (when they open again), and 4) trash can. I put the winter stuff I'll keep away and pulled the spring/summer stuff out.
Today Taste Of Home (a cookbook and online recipe outfit) said I won runner-up in a contest. They didn't even say which recipe won. Frankly, I forget what I even submitted. I have submitted many in the past. Unfortunately, the runner-ups only get a free cookbook. I sure wish I'd win a cash prize someday. I have won runner-up for a different recipe in the past. So, two free cookbooks. The other one is collecting dust in my basement. Both vintage guitar dealers I contacted yesterday responded to me. One even said he'd buy it, and I wrote to him that I'd seen the same guitar sold for over $2,500, but that had the guitar case, too. Mine doesn't. The other dealer, in Philadelphia, wrote that he'd look forward to seeing it when they're open again, and I'm in town. I might just bring the email from the other dealer so that they can see I already have some form of offer. I'll also bring a printout of the one I saw sold online. |

Aaaand...today I’m fine. Energy, happiness, etc. I cleaned everything top to bottom. I tried to vacuum but I think it’s clogged so I have to wait for RS to get home. Ate waaaay too much today. Boredom. I was reading a book which I haven’t been able to do at all for weeks, and I was reading reddit.
I don’t like how quickly it switched though...doesn’t seem sustainable. Bc this happened last week as well. I started feeling ok Friday and by Saturday I was totally fine. So I am keeping my IOP appt tomorrow, but I am more confident that I can do evening IOP instead of php so I don’t have to miss work, even though work is tortuous. But that’s only because remote learning is so hard for the students and I don’t have the right books so I can’t help. I can help with 4th grade reading and that’s it. We have second, third, and fourth grade at different times. I hope the depression is over thanks to lamictal but honestly I’m feeling a little TOO happy, if you know what I mean ![]() I’m trying desperately not to go buy a pack of cigarettes because I KNOW I will just get addicted again. I already started vaping again but I’m pretty sure my state just banned even menthol flavor so I’m SOL on that one. I hate tobacco flavor. So I’m just going to have to quit nicotine. I’d rather do that than smoke.

My sleep is all messed up. Ive been staying up later because I've been sleeping too much during the day, and Ive been napping because I only get 3 or 4 hours at night. (Due to having to take N3 to work by 6.) So that means that today I was up at 5 after getting to sleep around 2:30. Then N3 tells me he isnt scheduled until 7 so I get in bed for another hour. When I got home from taking him, I was awake but not "wide awake" so I laid down again whereupon I slept 5 more hours.... Seeing a pattern here? Then I got a coffee at 3 p.m. Like I said- I'm all topsy-turvey!

I went to the hospital two counties over (where I get ECT) to get the COVID test done before the ECT. So I walk in, they sit me down, shove a long cotton swab up my nose (both sides), and I'm free to go.
By the way, I don't recommend getting that test done if you're not already showing symptoms. It's not something you'd do for grins and giggles. Obviously, if your primary says you need to do it then you should follow professional recommendations.

Yeah mum had to have the test cause she was sick and wanted to see a doctor but they wouldn't let her come in until she tested negative. But we were able to go though a drive though right here in town. It didn't look fun.
