Introducing: Murl

Here's Murl. I'll be doing a series of him like I did with Sterrence, but hopefully Murl will last a little longer. He's a champ.

Have a good Labor Day weekend!

It's Been A While

My dedication to this blog as of late has been seriously lacking. I think it's the heat. I'm really not a summer fan.

Nothing super exciting has happened since I last posted, which is probably why I haven't posted anything new. I live in a pretty crowded house now, but so far having two babies, a dog, and 8 other people squished into a small house has been really good. No one has gone crazy. ....yet.

My anxiety and depression has calmed down quite a bit in the last few weeks, which I am supremely grateful for. I think that working has had a big hand in that. I work quite a bit, and when I'm at work I'm not thinking about all the things that worry or upset me. I get out of my head and get busy helping others. It's been a really great blessing. I've made some awesome friends at work, and have learned a lot. I'm currently saving all my monies for a car, which I will hopefully get soon. COME ON CAR!

This morning I had my first psychiatrist appointment. I'll be honest: the fact that I have to see a psychiatrist makes me feel pretty crappy. I'm one of those quacks that has to see a quack. At least, that's what I thought before I went. I'm still not super gung-ho about having to see a psych, but after the first session, I feel a lot better about it. And if it helps me better deal with life, then I'll give it my best shot.

I'll try to be better about posting. 

Have a beautiful day!
