Let’s gooooo…time’s a wastin’

I have no idea why I titled this entry that title!

Life is really good right now, though anyone who knows me on Facebook, too, might not realize it. I worry that I present the wrong image of myself. Do people see me as an unhappy person? I am not. I have my stupid Bipolar to keep me from being peppy and optimistic, a lot of the time, but overall, I am happy with my life.  

While reading an entry a while ago, I started thinking about something. The author said he wants to connect with people, but he doesn’t know if he believes he really can. I’m just the opposite. I’m really into people, mostly.

We have another addition to the household. Stacy’s boyfriend, Charlie (he’s the latest one), has a cousin named Rachel. She just got out of the hospital, due to a leaky heart valve. When she got out, she discovered that the woman she was staying with had kicked her out and turned her stuff over to somebody else. Family wouldn’t help her, so she was homeless.

I was hesitant, at first. I’m so glad Laurie and I agreed to let her stay here. Even though she’s older than I by a few years, she calls us Mom and Dad, which is fine by both of us. She is so incredibly EASY to love. She, like us, is damaged goods. She was abused mentally and physically by both her parents, and she has one whopping case of PTSD. It’s easy to recognize it in a person, once you’ve married someone who suffers from it.

Anyway, I just wanted to update a little and say that I am still enjoying my life, when the brain chemistry doesn’t fuck me over. I no longer get terribly embarrassed by those times, but I still don’t like them, and I’m not proud of them.

I love you all!
