Hi Keli,
I'm here, been a little busy, but I lurk now and then :-) And yep, I'm still feeling stable. In fact, remarkably stable, considering the crazy weekend I had...
Friday night DH and I were invited to a party. One of DH's friends was being promoted to Commanding Officer of DH's old squadron (DH is retired from the Marine Corps).
I had a small anxiety attack getting ready for the party (I always feel so inadequate in large groups, especially large groups of officers and their wives (DH was enlisted - I don't know if you get the ramifications, but a lot, not all, but a lot, of officers wives are pretty snooty and exclusive and clique-ish) plus I've gained a ton of weight in the last year or so, and anyway I was a bit nervous... BUT... I got it together and went and had a pretty nice time (accomplishment #1)
As we were leaving, an old friend asked if we could give him a ride home. I was driving (since I don't drink) and it was no problem, so we headed out to drop off this friend.(Ok, some background now... Hurricane Tammy just crawled up our coast and dropped like 15 inches of rain on Friday night)
As we're coming up on friend's house, he points out driveway, I turn into driveway... driveway is NOT THERE! The rain had washed a huge section of the driveway completely out... I drove right into a giant hole!
Now we have to get out of the car, in a downpour, and call the State Troopers to come and get a wrecker to haul us out of the hole. Two hours later, still standing in a torrential downpour, said Trooper arrives, then wrecker arrives (he wants CASH to pull us out, but finally accepts $75 in cash and a $75 check).
Finally, at 2:30 in the morning, the wrecker drops us off at home.
So then I found out yesterday that I broke something (apparently something pretty important, I'm not a 'car' person) under the car and being that the car is a 1995 model with over 165,000 miles, they will most likely total it, which means hello expensive car payment, again! (blech!)
DH knows it is totally not my fault, and tells me that a lot, but he is still grumpy over our bad luck.
So, after all that, I'm still stable - didn't even freak a little bit! (Accomplishment #2)
and I did NOT start smoking again (Accomplishment #3)

Oh, and Keli, I am SO very glad to hear you are doing better. I hope it goes on and on and you continue to feel well. I'm proud of you for going back on the medication that seems to help you. And I truly know how horrible the weight gain is, but hey, stable is worth it, isn't it?
Love,
Catherine
Yes, stable is worth it, if I can just get there again! I feel okay today, not as good as yesterday, but okay just the same...am tired, only got like 4.5 horus of sleep last night and is probably why I don't feel as good today. But I'm not depressed, so that's saying something.
Its dreary here...ugh.
Supposed to be sunny and HOT all week, in the 90s...where is my sun??? I need it!
Its cold right now...like 67 and cloudy and misty...hate that.
Love ya,
k.
