How's your day? March 2015

Whats new and exciting in your life?

 

Plenty new...not much exciting...especially right now.

However, I purchased a Molskine notebook the other day and started keeping a journal again. I'm doing my best to stay away from too much emotion (especially right now). I am enjoying writing in it with my Sailor Professional Gear FP. Its very relaxing and I just enjoy a good session writing in cursive.

Just a note, not looking for sympathy or anything...my absence has largely been due to my wife being diagnosed bipolar. Supporting her as she goes through medication adjustments takes up all my time. However she is currently been hospitalized for the last week, so I have plenty of time to myself in the evening (trying not to be depressed).

I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things when it comes to personal hobbies, it feels selfish...but is needed. So that's why I enjoy journal writing time.

Also...this is old news now, but I have found permanent employment at the luxury home builder I was temping at. The job is a dream come true...and the people and management are even better than the job.

Recent life has been a huge mixed bag... but what can you do but make the best of it!?

Reading this...it sounds depressing, but every day that goes by, life just gets better for my family and I. That is definitely exciting!

 

Doc today, let's see what he says.

 

Father, give the doctors wisdom for Dapper's blessing and Your glory. In Jesus' name. Amen.

 

Spent most of Sunday setting up a new laptop the way I wanted it (with s/w, settings, etc, etc). I remember there was a time when I enjoyed doing that.

 

These threads really should be renamed "What don't you like about today?"

 

How 'bout this?
What better way to spend your day off than…a trip to the DMV?!
I need to renew my license and have a NEW photo taken. First time in about 20 years or so. My old license photo is a bit 'dated' (sporting long dark hair & mustache, no grey).
I considered shaving off the big grey handlebar I've had the past few months, considering this new license may last another decade or so. Then I thought, nah, I'll keep the 'stache. If its gone in six months, I'll have a record of it.

 

It's kinda been tried ---> *click*

 

Sounds like you have a handle on things, Luke. I'll be thinking of you and your wife.

 

Started my day off in the Superintendent's office because I barked at his secretary on Friday. I worked all day on her computer without stopping to eat. (I'm on 4 different medications, 2 antidepressants, 1 anti-seizure, and 1 anti-anxiety---low blood sugar is not a good situation for me). After I left the office, she called me back up to work on something else. Being the team player that I am, I came in. When I saw that it was a problem that would take more than a few minutes to fix, I said I needed to go get something to eat.

She said, "I've worked all day without eating. We've all been there. We have protein bars if you want one."

My response was less than professional.

My apology, less than 2 minutes later, was professional. It went unaccepted.

After the meeting this morning (in which I fired both barrels and told my boss 2/3 of my problem was him) I apologized again. When I said, "I realize my behavior was unprofessional..." I got, "Yes. Yes it was. In the future, here's what you can do: We have candy tucked away around here..."

I think I'm going to apply at WalMart. I hear they need cart monkeys.

 

The weekend was busy with archery (teaching on Saturday & a tournament on Sunday.) So today I am catching up with some household stuff- washing floors, running laundry, etc. I don't love cleaning, but I do like a clean home, so I dont really mind.

 

Well this week may get way busier for me. My wife called and her hospital stay has been extended a week. Also my kids are getting sick so I may need to be taking time off to care for them. I will refuse to send them to the sitters if they're burning up.

Good news though...I found out that a government locked investment I have can be used as a down payment for a first time home buyer (which I will be)!! So tomorrow I will be checking out some houses in the development my wife and I want to move into!

 

Good luck with everything!

 

I'm keeping ya'll in my prayers!

 

Going to the Tigers vs Orioles game today. It is about a 10 minute walk from my house. I have great seats.

 

Going to the USPS office at lunch to bitc... complain about a package delivery. It'll be fun.

 

My ex was 2.5 hours late to pick up our daughter so I got to deal with a disappointed child sunday, then a fun conversation with my ex on Monday regarding her lack of consideration, and then today I nailed a curb and blew out my tire. So that means tomorrow is going to be awesome because I have all of the crappy stuff out of the way early in the week.

 

Wow, I hope your week gets better!

First day on head meds, it's making my head feel ever so "off." Oh well, I'll continue until my body accepts it or I have negative side effects. Today, I will persevere.

I bet @Omelmad could give me his email and I would be beaten right out of depression.

 

PIF, PIF, PIF!!!! LOL!

 

keep an eye on that. If it doesn't level out, don't be afraid to tell your doc!
