feeling the blahs
Well work is definitely getting easier. I walk out of a 12 hour day with a few brain cells left to rub together. I've been on my own twice now which is great. On Sunday I did have a kid try and die on me which I did NOT appreciate. Yo kid, keep with the breathing please! but otherwise been going smoothly...everyone is nice...but still in a kind of distant way. Don't feel like I've made any really friends yet. For example I've come every day since Christmas with a rubber chicken purse...and no one has commented? I feel like that's noteworthy...
Rob's really struggling with withdrawl symptoms from his cymbalta. Apparently that's a stand alone diagnosis it has such a bad rap. Days of just crying uncontrollably or feelings of rage and suicidal ideation. *sigh* it's been a rocky ride. But Friday he starts his new meds and hopefully we're headed upwards from there. Today does seem better than yesterday. And he worked Thursday, Friday, Sunday, Tuesday and again this Saturday. Not huge jobs but just getting him OUT and into contact with his world is a step forward.
I ended up with two days off in a row because one of the doctors at my other job had eye surgery and it didn't go well so he didn't come back on Monday as expected so woohoo day off for me...but I didn't get a lot done. I did some minor picking up and a lot of puttering and knit on this pinball. But I'm having a hard time not feeling like I'm walking underwater. I know a lot of it is internalizing Rob.
So here have a pinball progress photo. I'm officially 25% complete with the first side. I'm hoping to have it complete for the Georgian Picnic some of us have decided to have in May...btw if anyone wants to come to a Georgian Picnic and I didn't invite on FB just lemme know I would love to add you.

And I soooooooo wish I could go! But Georgian. That makes me laugh. Soooo much Georgian. But that goes until 1837, right? Right. I just looked it up to be sure :)

Yay, glad to hear it!

Ugh, I know how hard that is. I was rooming with a friend when they went cold turkey off a pretty high dosage of Paxil. Any time you monkey with brain meds, it has the chance to really throw you for a loop. Tell Rob to hang in there. He’s got an internet cheering squad out there rooting for him.

No rule that says you have to use bonus days off to do anything but loaf around. I’d say you did exactly what you were supposed to do!

*ears perk up* I’ve been looking for an excuse to make some new costumes. Which weekend?
