For once it’s not just me…everyone is out of it today. I’ve already taken the time to make the notation “not all here” on the check in board…

Tons to do before 4pm, but I’ll do my best…then it’s home, packing really quick, and heading to the airport. I finally get to meet my friend Michael! After all our figuring out about the scheduling, airport will be the easiest, though it looks like I’ll only get to see him for an hour Not too happy about that, but I’ll take what I can get. Just knowing he’s on this side of the country and not being able to meet up with him is tough.

So, an hour of talking at the airport, then back home to leave for Tri-Cities. Now that I am very excited about…been looking forward to the hydros all year! More notes from me when I get back, on Monday night or Tuesday.

Okay, Moesha needs her mocha right NOW!! This hot chocolate will help but not nearly as much as a triple tall mint mocha. Mmmm.

I went into the doc’s yesterday after work, had my blood drawn, got more Lithium. We talked a few about the book Mood Swings, what I’d thought, etc, and then he told me that with most of the people taking Lithium…I’ve handled it very well and better than the majority in the study. Nice, eh?

What a long day…and I’m still going. My new monitor arrived, so it’s all hooked up and looking beautiful. 19″ is still something to get used to, though…

Laundry is done…finally. I never made it to my parents’ place to do it. Gave in and used the machines in the building. 10 bucks…ouch. Talk about a chunk of change.

Sounds like I’ll be meeting a long time friend of mine tomorrow. Well, hopefully. All depends on waht I hear from him in the morning about visitor rules where he’s at on Ft Lewis. Michael is someone I’ve known for seven years…we met back when Prodigy was the thing. 25 cents an email…remember that? Wow. Anyhow, we’ve shared our writing and he’s been the only one I actually write real, physical letters back and forth with. It was so nice to hear his voice for the first time after all these years, and yet we’re able to talk as if we’ve been talking all this time. So, here’s hoping it’s a go for the visit to Ft Lewis tomorrow.

Eyes are dry and I’m blinking madly, so time to hit the bed. Well, land on it and preferably fall asleep. Kinda excited, so we’ll see.

I hate sweating. When it’s 85 and I’m out in it, I can understand it. But when it’s night time, and all I’m doing is the dishes? A bit rediculous, ya think? Guess I need to air my apt out a tad.

Well, some deadlines were extended at work, so I’m not quite as stressed as before. Still wondering how I’m going to handle this new yes sir, no sir manager that’ll be here August 14th. Pretty much ready to run if it doesn’t work out. Sad…but shit, had enough stress and I’m tired of it. If I can control it, why not.

Gonna go finish my book now…takes place in seattle, and more specifically, the U District for the most part. Trippy at times, especially when the grocery store I shop in is described in detail. But that’s why I love this guy, Earl Emerson…great local author. Anyhow….off tot eh couch to read the ending. g’night

Oh yeah…and it’s a snap crackle pop day for me. Darn right hip is stiff…making me looking like some gimp walking down the hall. Just trying to balance out

Whoah, blur of a weekend, though it went kinda slow. Did a lot of nothing. Woo hoo! This morning is dragging…big time. And it just occurred to me that I forgot to take my meds last night. Maybe that’s why I’m feeling so down today. Who knows. I’ll be right on time with em tonight, that’s for sure. That is if I make it through the day.

I’m sooooo tired! I finally crashed around 1am, but woke up at 5:45 to take my shower and then do an hour of work before heading here. Sadly, that hour…productive as it was, didn’t make much of a dent. I’ve just about finished it here…half of one deadline down.

Guess what I woke up to? Lack of hot water. Oh, now that was fun. I need to wake up in the morning, but I don’t need a damn cold shower to do it. Jeeze, I’m still trying to get warm from that quick shower. And it’s not like I ran the water all night! Hmm….

It’s going to be a crazy day, with tons of crap to do at work. Should be interesting, all the projects due today…haha. I could use an IV with Caffeine pumping into my system right now. Better yet…just pump some good ole sleep in there while you’re at it.

Well, vegan treats were a hit today with my department. Thank goodness….they all deserve a little extra somethin, working so damn hard.

On to another note..my friend from Spokane is here…and though I love his company and he’s spent some weekends in Seattle, this sure is going to take a bit to get used to. I’ll be fine…just feeling cramped. Not his fault of course.

Being alone….is lonely.

Hungry. Very very hungry. And can’t type worth shitties today. Oh yeah…and tired (though I’m sure that’s just a given).

Ever been asked a question you knew you had an answer to but just couldn’t quite word it right? Frustrating isn’t it? Dealing with that at the moment…

I’m not sure what my deal is lately. Not that I’ve been lazy, because I haven’t. I just can’t concentrate on anything for a long enough amount of time accomplish what I need to do. Can be a problem.

Heading in to work, taking a cab because I’m running late…gotta love waking up to the inability to walk.

Improvement today on the weather, seeing as how there’s sun out there already, so we won’t have to wait until 3pm to see it this time. Time to finish getting ready (eg: put clothes on). I just want to sleeep

Definitely a Monday. I’m going to go spend my lunch time taking a nap….keep nodding off! ‘Twas an interesting weekend, somewhat depressing, but can’t do anything about stuff you have no control over. Bummer.

Off to sleep…

So this is what I’m supposed to see? These new glasses…wow. I’m still a little disoriented. Okay, a lot. But they’re so damn light! I’m so used to my clunker of a bottle lenses, this is trippy. Smaller than my sunglasses, too Now…time to put my contacts in

I want out of here!!!!!!

Tired again…but not from lack of sleep. More from dancing salsa all night. That was more fun than I’d thought. And more tonight, too! Woo hoo!

I’m tired…a little groggy and bleary eyed, but I’ll manage. I did a lot of walking last night….all over, but with good company. Amazingly, I’m not sore today. What’s with that?

Never made it home yesterday…let’s try it tonight.

I managed to get on the bus that had to break down this morning…that just started the day off splendid.
Well, at least the week flew by fast. Though I don’t get it…I had more sleep last night than I have on any other day of this week, yet I feel like crap. Hmm.

I feel…normal? Today I’ve been…ok. Not cranky or depressed, but not hyper or loony. What a relief today has been.

Woah, groggy on the morning of the 4th. Can’t I just go back to bed?

I wore my bright yellow fleece pull-over today and I think it’s the only bright thing in this whole damn city. So blah out side…and even with our colored walls in the office…there isn’t much cheerful going on. Steve said Hey, I’ll come see you when I think I need some sunshine. cute.
