Newtus, you're perfect. Sams goes to you alone. Don't listen to your family. They can be the worst support in your life. Mine is. My mom constantly tells me I'm going bald and my hair line is receding and that I look like a strung out drug addict. people don't understand. Do what makes you happy. Don't conform. Forget what everyone else says because it's YOUR life. Not theirs.

i texted T and said that the twins and his gf oldest daughter are lucky to have him and his gf as parents. he texted back and said awww..thanks sarah... that means a lot.

they are so lucky to have him and her as parents. they are openminded and loving and nurturing and just awesome. some of me is a little jealous, i will admit. compared to my parents growing up, they are superstars!

A lot of folks here seem to be starting classes soon or at least talking about them! I hope it all goes well for y'all.

Seems like forever since I finished University... in some ways I miss it but in others I'm glad. Exams and coursework were always a *****!

Anyone ever been to the Anne Frank Huis in Amsterdam or know anyone that's been? I've heard there's an average of a three hour wait to get in and you have to book tickets like three months in advance to get in quicker, which is obviously too late. Not sure if it's worth the queuing and I know for definite my fiancee will see this as a threat to beer time.

I worked the overnight shift last night again. I had a good time. Up until around 3 AM, I wasn't really all that happy with it; we had some difficult new patients earlier in the night, and then I wasn't so sure about the people I was working with...they are both super confident individuals and I think my insecurity annoyed them. One of them told me that they (they are genderqueer and prefer they/them/their pronouns) are bipolar; I want to ask them when they take their meds. That is one thing that has been tricky for me. I used to take them when I went to bed. But now I go to bed at all different times. I'd just take them at the same time everyday, but sometimes I need to work and other times I get to sleep...if I took risperdal at the time when I need to work, I'd be a zombie, lol.

We had a meeting on Monday and my purse accidentally got knocked over and a ton of stuff fell out of it, including an old box of saphris (I used to be on saphris) that I never got rid of. One guy helped me clean it up, so he must have saw. I kept obsessing that he would think I stole the saphris from the patients to sell on the street, and that he was going to tell my boss that I had it and he would fire me. I know more likely he just knows now that I deal with some of the same problems as our patients. Hopefully that doesn't change his view of me. This coworker that helped me put my purse back together is really attractive, and I'd like to get to know him.

I'm debating talking with my boss about getting out of driving the company van. Every now and again, someone with my job title has to go out in the van and pick up a patient, or get medication from the pharmacy, or something of that nature. I barely feel comfortable driving my own car, let alone a big, clunky, unfamiliar van. I think I'm going to have to tell him that I have a bad phobia of driving and that driving the van would cause me severe anxiety. I will also mention the fact that I have no depth perception due to strabismus, and that I have hit 3 cars in parking lots in the past year (which is a big part of the reason why I have so much anxiety around driving to begin with). I'm just nervous, because my boss is a super intimidating guy. He is very difficult to read, and he can get angry about things that seem unreasonable to be upset about.

I went to the Anne Frank house. It was some years ago though. It was in August or September and we didn't make reservations. We just went. There may have been a line, but we got through it in a reasonable amount of time. It was really interesting. They let in about 20 people at a time, staggered about 5 or 10 minutes. It is really squish. A bit like moving a herd of cattle through back alleyway. But it was worth the wait and awkwardness. I purchased some things from there, unfortunately, I got all that stuff stolen as I was walking around afterwards. That being said, I loved Amsterdam.

Your boss sounds like my boss. If driving the van is giving you anxiety and it's a possibility that you could damage it, I think it's best to tell him. That way he can't say he wasn't aware it was an issue. There's no reason to make yourself go through turmoil. Although I understand your apprehension about talking to your boss.

Today (Wednesday) was my day off for the week. Since school is starting on Monday, I spent the day with my daughter getting her registered for dance and then going to the science/discovery museum. She is going to do hip hop for dance. It's her first year for that. But she wanted to do something new. I'm excited for her. So far she's done ballet, tap, jazz and lyrical.

The museum was fAntastic. I took loads of pictures. The downside of that is that I took them on my dumbphone. It's perfect for along and texting on, but reallllly sucks for pictures. I got in pictures of horseshoe crabs and snakes, baby alligators and sea otters. Plus pictures of my daughter being goofy and sitting in simulator jets, and under a giant nose. We went on a Mars rover expedition that was like the Captain Eo ride, if anyone remembers that. It was a rare time that she and I get to spend doing stuff like that.

I hope to be able to post more soon, but right now, sometimes the best I can do is update on how everyone's day's been, after midnight.

Gonna check if my insurance still covers a visit to the eye doctor, need some new glasses. If it does I'll probably take the prescription to Walmart and find a cute pair there
