Success

I had a good week working both jobs and even cooked dinner and pumpkin bread tonight just after coming home. That hasn’t happened in months!! I think it is safe to say that the new meds are working. 🙂

I stayed up all night writing Wednesday and though I was tired, it was the best kind. I love being busy and productive. It makes me feel good and valuable. Getting paid to do something that I love doesn’t hurt, either. I made it through the day at work and came home and napped for a few hours. It is a writing weekend too so I can catch up and make some cash. I need it!!

I have gotten into podcasts in the last few months to listen to at work. Mostly true crime since I have an odd fascination with it. I was listening to one today about a woman that likely had a personality disorder and months worth of post partum depression, possibly psychosis. I wanted to cry because I went through the same thing. I never hurt myself or my daughter and it mostly went away, though I have dealt with the depression since then. How brilliant of me NOT to treat it back then and wait several years. I didn’t quite make the connection before now but it’s good to know what caused that. It was a lot of the reason why I never had another one but with the way life worked out, that’s best. I couldn’t handle more than one now with a disabled spouse and financial issues!!

What else? Husband is feeling better now and things are calming down. Halloween was great. My sis in law is a real adult and always makes a great dinner before the kids go hit the neighborhood. K has a cousin there that is eleven and another that will be three in February. She adores K! It’s cute to see how good K is with her and of course I always think that she would have been a great bigger sibling. Cousins work, right?
