Briefly, things of note -
1) I have been approved for retraining through the WIA to become a Truck Driver. I have two offer letters from companies that want to hire me. I am only accepting OTR jobs that include Canada, since I want to scope it out and see if it is a place I would like to live.
2) Yay- I found relief from OCD. Boo- that relief comes in the form of alcohol. I have been drunk thrice in my life now, and each time the OCD stopped completely. I will only use this as a medicine about once a month, lest I become strongly addicted.
3) Depression is severely lessened, perhaps even gone. I still have some bad habits from being depressed - it does not occur to me often that I *can* get up and do things now. When I realize this, I am really productive. Side effect though is that I now feel my agitation as it happens instead of being to numb to feel anything, so I am having to learn how to deal with stress for the first time.
4) I am content with my art, but I would like to do more. I left all of my tools in Texas when I moved to Maine, however. So instead I have picked up writing. I am still looking for my voice, but I managed to tap out a full story from beginning to end and am learning how best to organize my thoughts. The voice though, that one is tough and will only come from practice.
