Yesterday, I played Magic at Maik's. It was ok. I won one game and lost the rest. I go there more to see my friends than to play a game. We had Lebanese food for dinner and they invited me to a birthday celebration on Saturday for Andrew and Sam. I think I will go.

Today, Amadeo was upset with me because I haven't been calling him in the morning, but I called him today. I just have been feeling so depressed. I showered, shaved, and clean my teeth. Later, after drying off, I put in earplugs, got dressed, then headed outside. I took the street car to my therapy session with Courtney Olds, because my bike tire went flat AGAIN. This was my last session with her, since I cannot afford to pay for

any more sessions. It went very well, and she said she will give Anya things to work on with me. Courtney is so nice! :) I see Anya on Monday at 12:00 at last! Therapy has been great with Courtney, but it will be nice to have Anya back again. She is so understanding and helpful, and in her own words, "directive". haha. I will feel safe and sound with Anya there for me again. I can't wait until Monday.

Anyway, I used my day pass once more to bus it over to CC's to post this blog. Sam invited me to Kyle's to play Magic, but I declined. I am burnt out on MTG, plus my bike tire is flat. Later on, I will bus it back home and go to bed. If it rains, I am prepared with my umbrella, the cover from the bus stop, and the bus itself. I will do my best to stay dry! :P

I am on a lower dose of Abilify now (2.5 mg), so I don't feel jittery, but I feel slower and more depressed. I think I am at a happy medium now, however. I can manage with this, at least for now.

Today, I got up and showered. At 2:45, I went to therapy and got caught in the rain on the way there and back. I got soaked. Later, I went home and Dawn came home. Amadeo came home too and then they went to get their hair cut. Right now, I am posting this blog at CC's. After this, I will go home and go to bed.

Today was ok. It rained earlier, which was depressing, so I slept in. I rode to the Coca-Cola building (NAMI) to meet with Caitlin my social worker. I mostly filled out my Tivoli Place application, talked with her, and she reviewed my application. Everything went well. I then rode to Radio Shack to return my decibel reader because it stopped working. There were no more in the store, so I got my money back and was told to call back on Thursday at 7:00 to see if they received any more in their shipment. 

I came home and Amadeo and Dawn were there with the new kitten. I hung around for a while and ate chicken noodle soup before heading out again to Rouse's and Dollar General for some grocery shopping. Amadeo and Dawn left to go somewhere, too. After that, I came home, unloaded my groceries, then headed out here to CC's to post my blog, since I had not gotten a chance to post it yet. After this, I will go home, shower, and go to bed.

Work was cancelled today because of rain. I swept the entire house today, including under the refrigerator and stove because it was full of dust, debris, and roaches. I got it all clean, though. Then, I started washing clothes, ate, and washed the dishes. Mills came by for a second to get something, and payed my $75 for the 2 and 1/2 days I worked. He actually payed me $80, and I gave him $5 in change. Again, what started out as a stressful, bad day is turning into something better later. I would say I got done what I needed to get done today. Maybe it's the weather, but I have been feeling down lately. Although, when Amadeo and Dawn stopped by, my mood got better and I was finally motivated to do chores like I had planned to since this morning, but previously lacked the energy, motivation, and focus to do it.

Today at work, I swept up all the rooms and the outside, removed sashes from windows, broke down window frames, and helped Mills put up siding. It was a great day and as usual, Mills, Ben, and I all work great as a team. :) The guy came to pick up the windows today also.

Today marks the one year anniversary of when I moved here. Yay! :) I have one year left until I have to move out of Amadeo's apartment. I am cooking now, and later I will go to the grocery store to pick up some things. After that, I may wash clothes and chat with Dyanis. Then, I will get ready for bed.

I worked today, and it was a good day. It rained, but I stayed dry for the most part. We removed nails, scraped more paint, hauled lumber, removed tile laminate, and swept. The day went by fast because we worked steadily and I didn't check the time as much.

I found out that Ben's birthday is October 11, 1979. Not only does that make him a Libra, but also love and friendship with my day May 31st according to Josh's astrology book. Pretty cool, and that is the same birthday as my old friend Nicholas Anderson and former colleague Ashley Thibodeaux. No wonder we work so well together! :)

Anyway, I am off now. It was a great day just as I expected. I will chat with Dyanis later. My iPod still seems to have problems connecting to the internet. I couldn't even post the blog from it, so I am posting this on the laptop. I will have to check out what is wrong with it on the internet. I hope I can get some answers and get it working right again soon.
