I really don't know why I haven't had much to say these days.  I know that I have more going on than I can usually deal with. 

I work with April at least 2 times weekly doing whatever she needs/wants.  Reading, cooking, shopping.  Her vocabulary is ever increasing and her therapies are going well.  Of course, there are a lot of things that are not great, but we hold on to the good and try not to focus on the not so good.

I have met some goals, like accruing some leave time at work, which I definitely attribute to my new medication.  I have worked at the same place for 4 1/2 years and I have actually been in the red for most of it.  This new medication helps alleve the "aches and pains associated with depression" and it really does help! 

I am still seeing the same fella and things are pretty good.  I have realized that I cannot keep pushing people (men) away and that is what I have done for the last 10 years...anyone who gets too close gets pushed back, found fault with and dumped...I guess if I let anyone in too close, that it deducts from how much I love my husband.  I guess I don't agree with the "til death do us part" portion of our vows.  I just have to figure out how to have had that life and now to find my new life.  I am working on it.  This fella says I am the love of his life, he thinks I am perfect (LOL) and he listens!  What more could a woman want????

I gave up my extra job and am trying to get caught up at home.  Sometimes I get a lot done and sometimes I just rest.  I will get to it as I can.  Rest is essential to my balanced mental and physical health. 

I do worry about not getting that extra check every other week, but I believe with all my heart that I can continue to build my Mary Kay business and supplement my income with that!  I just got my 5 year pin and I got a few more new customers.  In fact, a woman beeped her horn and held up her cell phone to get me to stop so she could get my number!  I love that! 

I had a lovely day with my family yesterday and now I must get up and get moving.  I have 4 days off in a row, which I haven't had in a long time (that I wasn't ill, anyway) and I intend to ENJOY them.

Love to all

happy thanksgiving to all of us!
