It's my birthday today! :D I got alot of birthday wishes on Facebook from my friends. 

I worked today. We put up siding, hauled wood, and cut concrete. We also reinforced windows with 2x4s. I got off at 7:00 and Sam wanted to hang out.

Maik, Michelle, Sam, and I are eating at Reginelli's for my birthday. :) I got a card from mom and Julie and a birth certificate  from mom. Strange coincidence, huh? I also got a bday call from David. Later tonight, I will hang out with Sam and chat with Dyanis.

This morning I got up at 9, even though I was off today. I did my morning routine, then I cleaned my bird cages. I just finished and it was exhausting. I also went to Dollar General for a few things, namely a scrub brush.

Later, I have therapy. I hope it goes well. Yesterday, Ben told me it looked like the Abilify was working, because I am more energetic and focused now, while before, I was like a zombie. It's good to know when other people notice my progress. It's also good to know that my medicine is doing its job, and that it is not a matter of sheer willpower to get things done when you are clinically depressed.

Today, I worked from 11:00-1:00 and picked up trash most of the time. Afterward, I was told to go home. Dawn needed me to help Tina move out because she broke up with her boyfriend. Dawn was really stressed, but Amadeo came with Alex's truck and we got a good bit moved to Dawn's house. By the  end of it, JD was home and very irate, so Tina took me home. 

Right now, I am at Maik's house playing mtg. I had a hamburger for supper that they left for me. I will chat with Dyanis later.

Today, my case worker Caitlin picked me up and we went to get the application for Tivoli apartments. I have an interview at 9:30am on Tuesday, June 25. Afterward, we went to the NAMI office to get started on applying for SSI.

When I got home, I took my birds outside, and called Amadeo. I assembled the wire shelving unit and ate lunch. Later, he wants to pick me up and work on building my desk. I went to the Dollar store to get some things, too.

I worked from 10:30am to 8:00pm today.   What a long day, whew! We mainly put up house wrap and windows today, which took the entire day. We still have a few left to do. Ben's brother helped us out, too, which was good. Though tired, I'm glad I was able to make it to work on time and put in a long hard day of work. Later, I will chat with Dyanis and get ready for bed. Tomorrow, I meet with my social worker at 11:00.

I slept over at Sam's last night. This morning, we showered, ate, and worked on magic decks, then we are Chinese buffet for lunch and he took me home.

The rest of the day, I unpacked, did the laundry, trash, dishes, and took care of the pets. I just now was able to get to a wifi spot to post this blog. 

This week has gone by nonstop and I am stressed out. I work again tomorrow even though my day off was not really a day off, but at least I will get Tuesday and maybe Thursday off, too.

It seems to stay on track, I will have to spend more time at home in order to keep up with the household chores and keep on schedule. There is so much stuff in the apartment that it gets messy easily and requires almost constant attention. That is stressing on its own, but again

 I will try to keep up with it better.

Anyway, I need to get back home to finish the chores and laundry, and get ready for bed. I am so exhausted, but I hope I sleep better tonight because of it. Until next time...

P.S. Tonight, I walked to McDonalds, not ran, and I stayed outside instead of going inside and ordering food. I will try to do this more often, so long as the wifi signal is good out here.

I worked today. I removed nails, dug underneath a pipe, and put up tar paper. I ended up working until 6:20. I went home, called Sam, and got ready to spend the night at his place. Dawn got me a $50 gift card for my upcoming birthday. Old Navy is having a Memorial Day sale, so they recommended I use it this weekend.

We ate Quiznos and now we are at his place hanging out and working on Magic decks. I will talk to Dyanis later.
