Friday Afternoon
I am not sure why I did not post all week...it was not planned to not post but just happened that way. I think perhaps might be because I have decided that to share what I typically deal with in October is way too much sharing on an open blog....my week was busy with appointments... I had a few huge meltdowns....yet today has been a really good day except for the visit to the vet....
Gracie is fine she needed her shots and a checkup and her nails trimmed and her rear shaved....so we are back home and she is not happy with me at all. She does not get mean she just ignores me when I try to talk to her or if I try to pet her she turns her head and body. She has a sore rear and now I have to put cream on her 3 - 4 times a day for a few days and then she gets wax built up in her one ear so have to put drops in her ear a couple of tmes a day for a few days and then probably an ongoing thing. I do need to take her on a regular basis to get her rear shaved so it will not get in the condition that it is in now. I do feel bad when she does not feel 100%. I want to add it was not that I was ignoring her rear it just got messy and matted like on Wednesday but she was scooting so much she got it really irritated. So the doctor was kind and so were the techs and so now we are back home and she is updated on her shots and such. I am thankful to my mom for paying so that she could go.
I after some major meltdowns am feeling much much less stress about going to Cleveland in two weeks from tomorrow for Brendan and Courtney's wedding. I talked alot to Nan (therapist) and Pat (case manager) and my psychiatric doctor and came up with some plans. The big thing that will help my stress level stay lower is that my mom is going to pay for me to have my own rooom because I do NOT do well sharing a room and I already get very stressed whenever I travel...the hotel where we are staying has a place to eat and also a shuttle to go to nearby places such as the outlet mall and such....so since I am not in the wedding I have lots of free time on Friday so most likely will go to the mall just to get out a bit. I plan to take books to read and puzzle books to work on....some money so that I will not have to bother my mom or anyone for money if I want to get a cup of coffee or a pop....of course my cell phone and charger in case I want or need to call someone here in Columbus....I also was able to get a very small rx just for five pills of xanax in case I start having a huge panic attack there. I would like to be able to go see the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame while there but doubt if I will since it is 45 minutes from where we are staying and as I said most of the family will be busy wth being in the wedding....I got an outfit ordered and it is something that I think will look nice and also be comfortable plus I can wear in other situations.
Food has not been great but it has been better with things like I think almost every day this week I did eat breakfast...so I am really happy with myself about that. I did get plans for this weekend so that always makes a much better weekend...tonight I am going to a kinship group of the church I go to...tomorrow I am going to take Mainstream to the main library and read some magazines and most likely try to see if anyone I know is working since I used to work there. The OSU football team is playing and the game is on t.v. tomorrow evening....Sunday will be the typical routine of church and then lunch with mom and then probably running some errands.
So some lj's for the week.....
1. I got to go to Borders.
2. I went to the library already once and am going tomorrow also.
3. music
4. knowing that i have my own hotel room for the wedding trip
5. getting to see Winston one of the dogs that hang out where I go for therapy and psychiatric doctor.
6. getting to see some art
7. emailing a friend who i have lost contact with and hoping it is still the right email address and that we get to talk soon.
8. being kind to the mainstream drivers even when they are late and not getting mad and helping someone elses day be better because i was kind.
9. knowing that on monday i get to spend time with michelle and we always have a good time and laught lots.
10. stopping at walgreens to get some things for gracie after her vet appointment...some treats and chew bones
11. spending time outside with the trees changing and the great weather.
12. going to jfs with pat today and it only taking us like 20 minutes and getting to see the woman who works there who is really kind.
