One thing I've learned from Aidan in the past 5.5-6 years since she started taking meds ... they fuck you up. Aid, I know you'll probably read this and I know you won't get offended because you've said it over and over again.
My mom has an injured arm. I think it was just minor in the beginning and ove the past few years they've made it worse with medications and surgeries. The have her on so much pain medication it's ridiculous. They had her on mood elevators i believe ... it was also supposed to help with her pain and that's why they put her on it. She was on Elavil. Drugs.com ... what is elavil? ... Elavil is in a group of drugs called tricyclic antidepressants. Elavil affects chemicals in the brain that may become unbalanced. ... it says it can be used for other purposes as well. Her doctors put her on it for pain. They took her off elavil and put her on something else. She even said she's noticed a change. She wasn't sleeping as well. She occasionally gets up at the ass crack of dawn. For what? I'm not sure cause it's not like she works. She's out on workman's comp. Unfortunately the woman's been insane again. What these doctors don't realise is the woman should have been instituionalized a long time ago. They don't know this cause she doesn't go to a shrink. I think sheshould, but we can't afford it. That's nto the point right now. She can't go back on elavil until mid december at the earliest. This means she could possibly still be insane until January or later. This means I have to walk around on egg shells and remain as quiet and calm as possible until then. This invilves me not speaking directly to the woman without pretending she's a 5 year old. Her being more insane again is why I'm getting more threats to be kicked out. Her being insane again is making her go back into "I can't wait till my fucking kids move out" mode about 1,000 times worse than she was for a while. I really really really hope they put her back on elavil. If they don't I might not be living here much longer. Even when I keep my cool she finds something to attack me for. I don't get it. So I'm just keeping my cool. We'll see what happens. If someone wants to encourage her to jump off a cliff it would be much appreciated. 
No news on whether or not I'm getting a promotion. My assistant manager is pushing for yay. I'm hoping my general manager is, too. Corporate loves me. We'll see. 
This semester is almost over ... it's almost time to jump for joy. 
I may be flying to Florida for free.  ... That's a definite jump for joy!
And that's my life in a nuthsell as of this morning. 
I'm not even going into the men suck area of it.
Maybe next year will be better?
