And here I said in my last post that I was going to do better about posting.....16 days later....Oy!

Not really a whole lot going on to write about, taking my meds faithfully, and started a new sleep routine that, (the counselor tells me), is supposed to help with these out of whack sleep habits. It's said that it only takes 5 days to develop a new habit, well, here's news for the "experts"-- Liar, liar, pants on fire! It's been 7 since I started doing this and there's no routine in sight, dang it.

Did get an e-mail the other day, (which I almost deleted--good thing I listen to the Spirit, at least occassionally), telling me that my application for a job, (same position, Office Admin Assistant), at two different locations with the U. S. Forest Service has been "found to be eligible for the position and has been referred to the selecting official." Hoo-rah! Gee, I only put my application in back in June! If this is any indication, no wonder the war on terror is taking so long!!! So, we'll see. But it still really pleases me that I made the first cut, considering I was in the midst of that awful battle with K-2, and all of the other stuff that was going as well. It's a wonder I managed to get it in, much less, get it right.

I've decided to leave the paper routes. Must give them 30 days written notice, (which goes out in today's mail), as I just can't do this anymore. Should the FS pick me up, I can't even begin to imagine what getting up at 0315 and running the routes, plus putting in 9 hours with the FS, plus driving to where ever the job site is everyday will do to me. I'm just getting back my routines, yeah, I want to run right out and screw them up again. NOT!

DH is very happy in his job, and it appears he will be gainfully employed for some time, as his co-workers and his supervisor take the time to tell me how much they enjoy working with him and that he is a dilegent empoyee. My thoughts, which I do keep to myself, are, well--duh! I could have told you that. He got a medium sized Doe the other day, so there is meat in the freezer now, too. An Elk would make me very, very happy, (probably would him, too, come to think of it), as then there would be lots more meat in the freezer, but I am content with what the Lord provides and will make do.

Have been spending some time reading newsletters from a writer friend, (Darrell Bain, if you're interested), who he and I have been sharing titles and authors of books we think the other might enjoy. Funny, he's read much more, (logical, considering his is about 30 years older than me), but we read the same/similar stuff. He was going on about this author he REALLY likes named John Varley, and I kept thinking why does that name seem so familiar? Then, it hit me. I used to not really enjoy reading Sci-fi, as I had the hardest time picturing the other world/space ships/aliens. But Mr. Varley's TITAN was so well written it changed all that. I love Sci-fi now. Darrell had written in his newsletter about corresponding with Mr. V., so I thought what to heck and wrote him. He wrote me back! How cool is that? An author who really does read his fan mail. :-) hee hee.

Am still on the Lexipro, and other than the still out of whack sleep habits, the only side effect so far is a very dry mouth, (who knew you could get a whole box of cotton balls in there, anyway?). Have seen my new favorite person since my last post, and have gotten a months perscription. K-2 is back in his lair, and I've finally managed to roll the boulder in front of the cave enterance, so, he's there to stay for a while, or so it would appear.

Have returned to caring about what our house looks like, and while it's not everyday yet, as I had been doing, cleaning/dishes/laundry/etc is at least done three days out of seven. I can take that for the moment.

Anyway, that's it for today.

depression; work
