Things have been going well, with just some concerns about DS. He really is bored with and hates school. His grades are reflecting it and I am worried that he may have to crash and burn before he gets it. I pray that this will not be the case. I am looking for a new psychdr. for him. His current one will not have seen him in 7 months, which is about 6 too mamy for me. I worry that his meds are not working the way they should because of his growth (6'2" now.) I am sure this will all soon be resolved.

Summer Memories

A lot has happened since I posted the last time. We went to the mission trip and had a life-changing and humbling trip. We meant people who really needed our help, who were willing to take our help and were willing to share what little they had with us.
We also went to the Grand Canyon and had a great family trip. It was wonderful to just be the three of us for a change and the Canyon was as beautiful and awesome as I remember. While m pictures are good, they still don't show it's true greatness.
Some good things have happened. The library will now be open all day again, it has already effected how many people are using the library. I had 8 classes in one day which was fantastic! Things have been going well, though I did have a spider nightmare this week. It was very sad that DS's school lost four students this summer, three from accidents, one from suicide. It wasn't discussed much, hopefully all those students who needed counseling got it. I still sometimes get urges to cut, but rarely. So all is well for now.

Secret Postcard

I was just invited to create a secret postcard. I put a secret on it-I won't say what. But it was surprising how easy it was to do and scary how morbid part of it was. I have had a couple of real lows in the past couple of weeks. I also have had a couple of nightmares. One was wake up screaming type of nightmare, the others I only remember being scary. I thought I was through with the nightmares, but I guess not. I always think that if I can remember what happened, it would get better. In any case I have to take them as the come. Time to get back to work.

44th Birthday.

I made it, even though it has been in peril a few times in the past, I did make it to my 44th birthday. We had a nice get together and I love my new nativity set. I also got a necklace and a shirt which were very nice. Now to make it through the next year, which seems quite likely.

Image from WikipediaI have not kept up as well with the dinner making as I wanted to, but I am still cooking a couple of times a week. The hardest part is to drink as much as I am supposed to. I just can't drink that much in a day. I suppose if I keep drinking a little more a day, I will eventually get up to the amount I should be drinking. At least it doesn't have to be all water, just clear liquids. Yesterday morning was a little freaky. I woke up and went to turn off the alarm and I saw a mass of squirming things. It has been a long time since I saw things. I have been taking my medicine as I should so that can't be the reason. Oh well, it hopefully won't happen again. Time to get back to work.

Trip to the doctor

I am now seeing my PsychMD every other month. That's good, maybe he will up it to 3 months this afternoon. My colonoscopy went well last week-meaning there were no problems to be found. I have to drink more, and I have been trying to eat better. I actually cooked 4 meals last week and two nights of leftovers. We only ate out one night. And two of the meals were from Cooking Light and Rachel Ray so they were good for you meals as well as homemade meals. I should give credit to DS, he cooked the soup one night and did a really great job. Things have been going well overall. Gotta go!
