Well, I've been taking the Ritalin twice a day for the last week and my goodness, but I feel GOOD. I haven't felt this good since well before my relapse in June 2006!! I actually want to go out and do things. I WANT to be part of the world. I am happy and focused and generally positive about things - even when life is crazy and things are not going my way. And best of all, I am not so wiped out mentally and physically by the end of the workday that I can't go out after work. I am actually interested in life. And in possibly pursuing work that makes me feel good and happy, instead of just doing a job that is "good enough."

In fact, I have been so busy this week - something every single night! - that I haven't had time to blog about anything I've been doing, even though I've actually had things I wanted to write about! Stuff like how Rennie barfed all over my comforter, sheets and pillows on Monday night and the hilarity that ensued. (She now smells like feet. That is not at all hilarious.) And my money class wherein I was asked about my feelings about the scriptural references in the videos we were watching and I couldn't come up with anything to say that wouldn't be offensive to the entire room... And the exceedingly sweet and thoughtful boy who personally delivered some of my favorite donuts from the one and only Dunkin' Donuts in the area - which happens to be about 45 miles south of here - just because he knew I liked them. And the email I got from my German friend telling me about what he's been up to the last 14 years. Or the self-propelling baby toys my friend L brought over on Friday with her little boy that Rennie thought were the bee's knees. (We laughed until we were sick at the dog chasing after these little cars and rolling head over paws trying to catch them. I will be buying them as soon as Target gets them back in stock!)

There has also been more fun to be had with the Evil Secretary and her strange need to send and receive all communication via her fax machine. (Do people really still use fax machines?)

So, tomorrow after I give Rennie a bath (because smelling like feet? Really not ok...) and do a bit of reading (in this interesting book by David Allen called Getting Things Done) and perhaps a bit of piano playing I will do some writing in this l'il ole blog. Maybe a few of my 5 readers are still around!
