Just another success story. ("success" being defined in very broad terms, of course)
So, the weekend (and spring break) is fast approaching. I am actually kind of dreading it, since it means starting the new job...which means infinite awkwardness, introvertedness, and initial miserableness. I keep thinking about how long it took me to get comfortable where I was before (a long time). Oh well... I do like getting paid, so that's the only thing to look forward to.
Last weekend's rundown: we all (Christy, Billie, Todd, Bryon, and me) congregated at Christy's Saturday just to see each other for the 1st time in a while and to see Billie's new bling--her engagement ring is gorgeous!! Congrats again, Billie. :-)
Tuesday, I had my first appointment with the shrink since before Christmas. I was supposed to have gone sooner, but she canceled it for some kind of "emergency" that came up, and just last week was when I got around to asking for a reschedule... Anyway, she said that I was free to never come back ever again unless there's ever a time that I just need to...so I guess it means that, after nearly 5 years of "therapy", I've finally been released. I finally am considered emotionally stable enough to be a functioning member of society. Kind of bittersweet. I started to look forward to my appointments (so long as they weren't inconveniencing any other plans I'd made). Plus, it was always fun to discuss my mother's antics with someone who agrees with me that she really is nuts (actually, I believe "delusional" was the technical term I was always corrected with). I guess I'll just be sending Christmas cards to her office from now on.
Today is Bryon's 22nd birthday and also our 2-year anniversary together. He's coming over after he's off from work tonight. I got him a cake from the Homemade Icecream & Pie Kitchen-- yellow with cream cheese icing, and I got some pizzas to bake for our main course. For his presents (birthday + anniversary), I got him that printer he wanted (the one I was making him wait until today to get), the movie "Borat", Guitar Hero 2 (it's actually kind of fun when you try it out), and a wireless keyboard and mouse that he wanted for his computer. Hopefully all that will make him pleased as a pitcher of peach punch.
My dad got a new car today-- a 2006 Impala, silver, with a sunroof. It is nice.
I cannot breathe--apparently my immune system is being ravaged by some merciless organism, most likely the rhinovirus. I don't suppose that staying up all night Tuesday studying for my Psych344 exam helped any, but hopefully the payoff will be worth it. Unbeknownst to my mother, vitamin C does not prevent everything.
