Hello all. Just thought I'd say Hi and make sure everybody is doing well. Things on my end have been OK. I'm a little nervous right now because my doctor's apointment was postponed until next week and my medications ran out. I'm going to get more on Tuesday, but that's still quite a while without them. I just have to make sure to remind myself if anything goes wrong that I'll be getting back on track soon.
My shift has officially changed at work and it's a nightmare trying to get into the swing of it. I've gone from 8 hours days, five days a week with Saturday and Sunday off to 10 hour days, four days a week with Monday, Tuesday, Wednsday off. Worst of all, because I go in between 12:30 and 1:30, I get off between 11pm and midnight. Ick. I'm severly tired right now - mind you, I got off early because of a slow night so I can go to bed a little earlier.
I'm happy to say my saving has finally paid off. I bought my first laptop on Monday. It's awesome, except if I want to use the Internet, I still have to use our family computer, or I have to sit upstairs use my wireless capiblities to steel a wireless connection from down the street. But hey, I'm very proud of myself. This is my first really big purchase and it's really going to help me out when I start traveling and getting out there. Not to mention, I've saved up enough money that this purchase may have put me out a thousand dollars, I've still got $500 to start my trip ticket fund back up again. Not to mention, if I shop around wisely, I probley have enough for my ticket as it is.
So yeah, probably in a mania right now, but as it is, it feels good. Not too enuthusiastic about coming off it for the time being. It feels good to be on a bit of a high for once in a long while. :)

You will be back on your meds soon. Try not to panic. I panic too so I am no one to talk, but hang in there. That is so awesome you saved for your laptop...way to go girl. You are definately on the right track with saving and planning. Be proud of yourself for that. You know, maybe you are just excited about this good thing in your life. It is OK to get in a high because that kind of high is "normal". Everyone gets excited about buying something they wanted. Let yourself feel that without questioning it. You will know when you are on a high that is from mania. Trust yourself. I am so excited for you. I have always wanted a laptop. Keep that goal for your trip ticket. You will do it. Thanks for sharing your good news.
