Hi - I'm back, where did the time go.

Looks like it has been quiet here.

MAKE SOME NOISE PEOPLE.

No, seriously now, I presented my story last night in front of about 30 people.

It went well.

I ad libbed a little bit.

It turned out that I was the only speaker that showed up last night, as the other one was sick.

I recieved a lot of positive feed-back.

It felt good.

A job...

It's been a while since I checked in. My computer was getting fixed. I definitely missed having it. Not much going on with me. Working working working. I am so tired but I am still getting used to it I guess. Hope everybody is doing ok.

Sunday July 19th hugs

feeds@yuku.com (lorilovewell) — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 15:05:24 GMT

I feel like I have been neglecting my friends here as of late. When things are going well, it is easy to forget what things are like when they are not going well. For all the times when things were hard for me and you guys were here for me, I want to be here for somebody else who may need me. Even though I am working I always have the fear in the back of my mind of what may happen later. I feel like this is all too good to be true and things like this rarely seem to happen to me. Maybe I...

Sunday Hugs

I had a fun weekend. I took my daughter to her first movie. We almost made it to the end, but she dropped her drink on the floor and got really upset. We only missed the last ten minutes or so which is pretty good for a two year old. We had a cook out on the 4th which was nice. I made shish-ka-bobs for the first time and they were really good. Today I took her rollerskating for the first time. She was scared but had fun too. I was so proud to share something that I loved as a child...

been a while hugs

I've been working a lot and haven't had a lot of time to check in. Things are going well. No complaints here. I just don't have much spare time now.

Wednesday hugs

Had my first full day of work today, yesterday I had training at my other job. Everything went well. I loved it. It feels so good to be part of the work world again.

My weekend walk in the swamp

feeds@yuku.com (shrapnel3469) — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 01:16:33 GMT

I will share with y'all a bit of an email that I sent to a friend of mine to let you in on my weekend escapade.

I went out to the Beverly swamp at 9 AM Saturday morning, and no one showed up, so I went for a walk by myself. I saw a tree swallow land on the road beside me; a Yellow Warbler fighting with a Common Yellowthroat; a pair of Red-bellied Woodpeckers; and a Veery. Oh, and I found a spot where someone had a marijuana crop last year. They had an area...

I have a job starting in July! I'm so excited.

It is actually 2 jobs. One is two Saturdays a month in a town not far from my house and the other is a 4 day a week job farther away but with incredible benefits, which is almost unheard of in the field. It works out well. I will have friday through sunday off, except twice a month when I work saturdays. I like having this other job because it will give me experience in another atmosphere to learn. In the full time job I will...

I have a job interview tomorrow! My first real interview ever. All my other jobs pretty much just called me and told me when to start. I can't believe I'm almost thirty and this is my first real interview. Wish me luck.

Graduation Day Hugs

feeds@yuku.com (lorilovewell) — Wed, 20 May 2009 10:05:16 GMT

Wednesday Hugs for those of you not graduating, but what the hell, we can all pretend right. Today is the day. My friend Becca and I decorated our graduation caps, they are so cute. Maybe I can figure out how to post a pic to show you guys. I can't believe how fast this past year has gone. Friday I will take my local anesthesia exam then I'm done, can't believe I'm saying that! Thanks for all the support over the last few years. Going back to school something I...

Friday Hugs

I spent most of the day in bed today. Everything is finally hitting me. Even though everything with school is so great I can't seem to be happy. More things happened today relating to my exhusband's family that really threw me for a loop. I am just feeling like I want to be alone and just want to sleep. I know it's a bad sign but I have to be strong and get through it.

Weekend Hugs

Hope everybody is doing ok. Not much going on for me right now. I got to spend a bunch of time outside yesterday, which was nice. I love being outdoors. Today I am going out visiting with my daughter. Tomorrow is mothers day and Genna picked out something for me all by herself. I can't wait to find out what it is. It could be interesting to see what a 2 month old thinks is the perfect gift for her mom.

I have either a broken foot or tendontitis. Just got xrays but they won't be read until monday so I just have to wait it out. I want to start taking walks again now that it's nice out but I can't until my stupid foot starts hurting. I just found out today that I probably won't get my licence until July so I will have a while off after school is done. I have regular classes monday, tuesday and wednesday next week, then I have finals the week after and that is it. I...

New, recently diagnosed, and need some advice and to answer some simple questions

feeds@yuku.com (AutumnSkies) — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 14:33:32 GMT

Hi, Im new here. I was diagnosed with BP 2 on friday with hypermania along with my major depression and lots of other fun things. So. Are my moods that are related to BP 2, are they triggered or do I have virtually no control over them? How can I identify a trigger, if it is, and what can I do to help stabalize my moods and impulses?

I took my clinical board exam today. Huge weight off me just knowing that I finished it. I have to wait 4-6 weeks for my results though. There is still a computer portion that I have to take next week too.

Friday Hugs

Today I packed all my stuff that I need to take with me tomorrow to my exam. I have a dufflebag full of stuff. I have checked it a bunch of times and everything is in there. I am not really nervous anymore. The thing I was most nervous about was forgetting something that I would need and I'm pretty sure I'm all set now. Wish me luck, tomorrow is a really big day for me. If I pass this I'll be one step closer to rejoining society. It has been so long since I have held a job...
