what positive things we have going on in our lives...its so easy to get mired down in the negativity and then that leads only to more depression.
Who's going first???

Well, I *think* my financial aid is finally straightened out to some degree, tho not completely yet. But I'll take what I've got thus far.
I went to the doctor about a pain I've been having in my right side fearing the worst but it turned out to just be a small cyst on my ovary -- sorry if tmi.
When I got back from the ultrasound just now discovered that my mom was at her part time job so the house is nice and quiet so I can actually get some studying done without the television blaring. YAY!!!!!
AND, the child support checks, thanks to the automatic deduction order, are finally coming in on time every week!!!
So I guess I have a few positives on my list. I just wish I could get rid of this low level depression and agitation. But I seriously think it's the season. It's a hard one for me for some reason. But I'm fighting it and this time with the right (I think) combination of meds:)
Love & Hugs,

Bryan is FINALLY napping today--the 1st time all week!
Hello all,
Well, I strike again! I guess I cause disruption for my yoga class. I have a tendency to speak my mind and be myself. While everyone else has to be a carbon copy of everyone else.
So, I have come to the conclusion that I'm going to ending my Wed morning yoga class. It has been brought to my attention from my best friend, who is also my instructor, that if I disrupt her class one more time, that she's not going to take me anymore. So, my above conclusion is my answer to that. And not to mention, I'll be saving $40.00 every month (yep, that's all that it costs.)
But I will still be practicing yoga, but only once a week.(And that's free). She seems to be dealing with an issue that she keeps allowing to control her. I feel for her, as she is my best friend, but I can't do anything to help her.
And besides, I'll be starting school in January and it will definately conflict with yoga anyway. So, I think that was the best decision that I've made with a clear mind and a clear conscience. See what happens when your able to think clearly without causing chaos? LOL! Oh yeah, and another positive thing happened, I'm not much of a sales person, I was with my best friend at a flea market. She sells jewelry and crocheted shawls and she's danged good at it. She went to the bathroom and I was at the booth sitting down and minding my business.
A woman and her daughter came to the booth to look at some candles that was also being sold. So, I just sat there and the woman asked "I see that your small candles are $3.00, how much would you charge me if I bought 300 of them?" I had lost my ability to speak for a few minutes. (The lady wanted the candles for a wedding). Anyway, then I regained my ability to speak and reason, got up out of my seat, went to the table and said, "Would you like to speak to the person that makes the candles?" She said, "Yes, I would." My mind went blank again. (If you watch cartoons, you'll remember seeing the cartoon character having a marquee going across it's forehead).
So that marquee went across my head, "......her number is on one of the candles, stupid....." So, I pick one of the candles up, and I show the woman her number. She called her and found out how much she would be charged, then she walked away continuing on with the business deal, at that point I went to go back to sit down.
Now, my best friend comes back, and I tell her what happened. Well, she has the mathematical mind, and she said the the total sales was $300.00! I was in shock, now remember, I am not a salesperson, that's one career that I would starve to death at. So, now she seems to be having issues because she was there all day and wasn't as successful at selling her jewelry and shawls. Well, the guy that's in charge of putting people in ideal spots asked her if she would like to be inside where her business can pick up.
She liked the idea and she happy now.
So, those are some of the left-handed positive decisions that I've made, and I'm happier for it.
Thanks for letting me share that.
Hugs,
Sebastian

Well I am not sure what I can add to the board today. I am leaving here at about 9:30am for the bx. But at least it will be done and no more fretting about the procedure. The new job Dh took will help out financially. He just started this week so it will be a few weeks before we are back on our feet financially. Dad was not home when I got home from work at 3pm yesterday and he stayed the night at his girlfriends house. SO it was real relaxing last night. I had no stress last night so I got to relax and I was out like a light by 9:30pm. And I am getting to enjoy my coffee this moring, just me and the furbabies...lol
