Tuesday Randoms

What is everybody up to today?

I've been in a pretty bad funk lately and I'm finally starting to feel better. I think part of it is that I got my finances under control so that isn't constantly on my mind anymore. Also, I've been making some pretty great adjustments to my house. Nothing big, but I removed the old caulk from my shower stall (it was silicone and you could see mold under it) and I am switching out my bathroom faucets. My parents are coming over on Saturday and we are planning a big "around the house day" to get smaller things taken care of.

I have my appointment with a psychiatrist next week and I'm pretty excited for that as well.

I've been pretty quiet here. Work has been hectic to post, but more lurking to see how everyone is doing.

Yesterday was the best day. I left work early and had my teeth cleaned (best feeling ever). Then I was home early and took a nap. Woke up and I went to the movies by myself last night. It was wonderful. No chores, no responsibilities, no rush hour traffic, etc. WONDERFUL.

Today, I'm looking to rehire someone who moved away and has returned.  It would be a dream to have her back in the office.

Not a bad Tuesday, overall, considering I thought it was Wednesday for a long time this morning.  :\

I had a fun interview yesterday. Not sure if anything will come of it, but it was a good pick me up.

Today I'm going in to school and then have appointments and volunteering in the afternoon. Hopefully a walk on the beach tonight.

I had a really rough morning. Woke up to a doggie with diarehea and some bright blood in it. The vet doesn't seem overly concerned, but I'm a total mess. Paco is going at 3pm today and meanwhile I'm just all snuggles with him today.

I slept for about 11 hours last night, so I'm feeling pretty good today.

I packed my gym bag so I can go right after work.

This morning it was actually chilly in my apartment. It's been so hot and I think it's finally cooling down. I'm excited for fall/cooler weather/boots and scarves!

I got up, worked out, took the kids to school, showered and am now sitting on the couch. I need to motivate to get to work. Ugh.

Bright blood is good blood. Dark chunky blood is the scary stuff. It could easily just be that he got irritated from diarrhea - and once the diarrhea is gone the blood is gone.

Hopefully he feels better soon.

Phew! Thanks mp that makes me feel a lot better. Given that he's 15 and they've mentioned polyps before I'm super paranoid. But he's eating and drinking so that's a good sign!

This week I learned I'm going to be re-contracted to my old job now that the 60 day contract limitation period is over, so I am allowing myself a fun day. I browsed a record store and bought two used/clearance vinyls. The clerk was being annoying trying to upsell me a turntable but i didn't let it bother me. I am having a late lunch of a burrito in the park and I'm gonna stroll around in the lovely warm fall weather until it's time to get dd from school. Then we'll go to the library I think.

I am fighting with people today and trying to make them understand that blackfacing is not right!

Today has been rough coming back to work after a holiday.

I just put dinner in the crock pot. We will see how it turns out.

Its been 2 weeks since I interviewed for a PT seasonal job. I sent them all the required info for a background check and I still haven't heard back from them. HR wont give any info regarding pending applications and they refer you out to a 1-800 #. I'm thinking that they wont be offering me a job

I got stuck in a ton of traffic on my way home...grrr!  To top it off, I'm hungry and need to make dinner.  
My mom is coming home tomorrow after being down south for about 6 months. I've never not seen her for such a long period of time.  I feel a bit out of sorts. I missed her and feel like she just sort of abandoned her home here and everything/everyone here, actually. I had to deal with things at her house (checking on it/mail/weed pulling etc) and I guess I'm annoyed?  She was supposed to have been home in July. I also know her issues with my boundaries will resurface.  Sigh.  What is this situation? I don't even recognize our relationship anymore.  If someone showed me this post 2.5 years ago, I'd say they were mistaken.  :?

I got a message on POF last night that made me laugh. I'd never heard it before. It was "Are you Australian? Because you meet all my koala-fications".

I'm still feeling a bit out of sorts. Are there different levels of depression? Can you still function yet suffer from depression? I always thought no, but now I'm not so sure.

Yes there are.  I started on an AD because I was just feeling blah, I had no motivation for anything, life was overwhelming me, I was stressed about work/kids/life and I couldn't find a way to deal.

It never hurts to talk to your doctor.

Hugs!

Thanks.
Is this something my primary would have to diagnose? Or my therapist? I don't even know where to start to find out if I am depressed or just temporarily bummed out. I do remember that my therapist had said I could possibly be suffering from mile depression, but then I stopped seeing her due to my copay doubling.

My primary doctor wrote my prescription.

I think both can diagnose it.
