Feel Good Stuff

• On New Years Eve day I went halfway and picked up my baby (22yo) to come “live” with me for a week. We had a great time watching lots of rented videos, making fudge and lazing about. She has a tendency to stay up all night very much like her mother. I was no good at discouraging that behavior 😉 Saturday night we went to the Coliseum to watch the Fort Wayne Derby Girls. My son’s girlfriend is a Derby girl. It was pretty cool, even if it did mean going out in that really cold weather.
• Classes are started again so I’ll be keeping myself occupied. Assisting and also taking two. Also need to finish up a website I am working on.
• I am trying to function better in my real life, but laundry and dishes are so boring when I can be reading crime boards and playing Petville instead 🙂 (psst…thank you Melissa for getting all of my laundry caught up!)
• I’m making an effort to consistently see my therapist and go to group. Well, okay…starting today, because last Thursday it was snowing and I said to myself “Hell no, I’m not going out in that!”. Tomorrow I am group leader so I gotta be there.

The Not So Good Stuff

• First, it’s a bloody cold and horrible winter! (okay, on the plus side, my furnace has worked all winter!)
• Migraines galore! I have no idea what is up but I can’t afford this Maxalt every day. Generally it kicks it and I’m good til next time but next time isn’t supposed to be the very next day. For the first time in over 30 years of migraines I had an aura. It freaked me out, thought I was going to go blind or something. Not good since I was headed to the store. I was reading online that migraines generally go away by the time you hit your 50’s. I’d like to know what’s up with me then. I am 56 and I get them way, way more often than I ever did in my 20’s and 30’s.
• A couple years ago I ranted about my fine neighborhood and the lowlife that stole my metal trashcans from the alley (they even had my address painted on them). Well, it’s even more disturbing that someone stole the down spouts off my garage back there. I don’t guess I’ll be paying to replace them unless I hook them up with an electrical charge first. Trust me, I’d dearly love to do that. For all I know it could be my awesome neighbors who put Sanford and Sons to shame.
