11/30/10

Mood today: Good. Didn't write yesterday. I guess I was too busy. I got home late from work. I went in at 6:30 and did my stuff I like to do in the mornings when it's quiet like check my email and MDJ. I went in with Emily for training. Well, it's not really training anymore. I just do the work and she watches me. Seems boring for her to do. I gave Ingrid her lunch and went back in with Emily and we worked on more stuff. I recorded her doing some whey tank transfers. We got busy and we didn't get out of there until 5:45. So, I got home late. I think I was in bed by 10:00 though.

Today I woke up late. 7:00. I hate it when I wake up late. The traffic is bad and I just feel rushed. I got to work before 8:00 though so that was good. I worked on labeling my pn transport folders to be filed and then I remembered that I still had some fm trucking stuff that needed to be labeled and still need to be filed. I labeled them and still need to file them. I worked on some of Emily's stuff in the morning. Aaron, out computer guy put Office 2010 on my computer, so I like that. He also updated my Outlook so I can check my email online from home so that's cool. Emily had a meeting to go to, so while she was there, I did all the molasses billing. She came back and all was done.

I got out of work at regular time today and I was glad about that. I beat the traffic. I always leave at ten minutes to five so I can get a little ahead of the traffic. It usually works. Came straight home, couldn't wait to get here. I'm tired today for some reason. Guess cause I've been busy at work lately. Emily will be gone in two weeks, then I will be all alone in molasses world. The job I am taking over for her while on maternity leave. I just pray I do good in that position while I am still doing my job as well.

Joe needed a verification of child support the other day and I sent him three through my hotmail account. Today he said he didn't get any of them. It irritated me. So, I sent three more from my gmail account and I guess he did get those ones. I pay him child support for my son because he live with him. He likes it up there so that is where he lives. I had to write proof for something for his dad showing how much I pay him each month. That was easy enough or so I thought. I sent a total of seven emails of the same thing and it finally went through.

Tomorrow I am going to try my hardest to get up early. I have a lot of work tomorrow on pn transport and molasses. Statements are being ran on Thursday, so I have to get the trucking payroll in tomorrow instead of Thursday. My fingers will be tired from all the typing I'm going to be doing. I also have to do molasses stuff too. Well, I guess the day will go by fast since I have so much work to do. Thursday morning I will have to run reports for Marsha, me, and Thelma. Should be an interesting week for me. Better get to bed.

11/28/10

Mood today: Good. I'm awake. I'm awake since 2:00 yesterday afternoon. Yeah, long day, but I'm in good spirits. I slept till 2:00 in the afternoon, so I wasn't tired around bedtime. I was talking to my sister on the phone and on MDJ, facebook, and other sites. My sister finally got off the phone and an MDJ friend logged on and we emailed back and forth while he was at work until 4:00 this morning. So, I just decided to stay up and go to bed tonight and be ready for work tomorrow morning. Hopefully that works out. I will probably go to sleep early.

I went to do laundry at the laundromat today. Wrote in the car while it was being washed and dried. Nothing in particular. Just to pass the time by. Came home afterwards.  Been on the computer since. Now chatting with my MDJ friend on MDJ before he goes to work. We have gotten pretty close actually. Says I've helped him a lot and he is very grateful. I'm glad that I have been able to help.

I did get the dishwasher emptied and the little bit of dirty dishes put in it. I also swept and washed the floor, so the kitchen is clean. Got a couple of things accomplished today. Need to work on the bathroom, but that can wait. Back to work tomorrow. The holiday is over. A full work week is upon us until Christmas time. I don't mind though. I love my job and I'm grateful for it. Well, I think that's it for tonight!!

11/27/10

Mood today: Good.  Wow, I woke up at 2:00 this afternoon! So late. I went to bed at midnight last night, but I shouldn't have slept that long. I must have been really tired. So, I got up and hopped on the good old computer. Logged onto MDJ and answered some posts and emails. There wasn't much going on there, probably because of the holidays. Now it's getting a little bit busier.

So I'm talking to my sister again. I talked to her for two hours earlier and she is now back. LOL. I'm not going to talk to her for another two hours though. She called two of my other sisters and they were worried about me being home alone on Thanksgiving. They thought I might be depressed. She assured them I wasn't, that I took pills for that. LOL. That I just like to do my own thing. They know this from many past holidays. Guess they just forget.

My friend never came down today. Kind of glad though since I didn't wake up till late. Maybe tomorrow, but I have to do laundry. It's going to be raining too, so that sucks. I wouldn't mind having a couple of drinks though. I will hopefully not sleep in too long tomorrow.

11/26/10

Mood today: Good. Got to work at 6:30 this morning. I was the first one there this time. Had to turn the heater on, it was 59 degrees in my part of the office. I went around and turned all of the lights on and got the building warming for the day. It was so nice, no talking, complaining, nothing. Just me. Soon though, they started rolling in. It wasn't bad because all of the traders were gone. It was basically just the girls in the office. Did my work until 12:00, shut down the computer and was the last one out. Yay, the weekend is upon us.

I had to stop for some groceries and gas, then headed home. I have no plans on leaving the house tomorrow unless one of my friends from the mountains comes down to visit. If he does, we are probably going to go have a few drinks. That will be fine with me. I don't want to be gone for hours though. I like my Saturday of doing nothing. I have my routine of my computer time. I love my internet and spend a lot of time on it.

Lately, I have been getting brain zaps. I usually get them when I withdrawal from a medication, but I'm not right now. Weird. I will bring it up with my psychiatrist when I see him next. The only thing we have changed was dropping the Abilify by 5mg and that has been over a month. I don't know why I would start having a problem with it now. Strange things happen sometimes I guess.

I get paid on Tuesday, thank goodness. I hate living paycheck to paycheck. It really sucks. I barely make it because I have so many bills to pay. Plus I live alone with no one to help me. I could get a roommate, but where would my son sleep when he came to visit in the summertime? No, he needs his own room. I don't think I could handle one anyways. I take my privacy very seriously. A lot of people tend to bug me too. I'm just not a very good people person I guess.

Sunday I have laundry to do, so that is my plan for that day. I don't like doing it because I have to go to the laundromat. There is a small laundromat at my apartment complex, but I go to the big one to get it all done in one shot. I sit and write while I am waiting. I write about nothing in particular, just what I want about my day, in the future, etc. Gibberish I would call it. It gives me something to do while waiting for the clothes to do their thing.

I have a feeling I will be up late tonight, so I am going to prepare myself for it. Sometimes I just like to stay up late. Heck, I can sleep in tomorrow, I have no work. I keep updated on MDJ and facebook. I update my blogs. I make playlists, check other websites I'm on. I stay pretty busy on the internet. I don't get lonely really either being home all by myself. There are times, of course, but for the most part, I am totally content just being home alone with my computer. Guess I'll jump on MDJ now.

11/25/10

Mood today: Good. As I sit here on Thanksgiving Eve, I think of all my online friends in my support group called MDJunction. I have bipolar disorder, so I belong to bipolar support groups there. There are so many great people there with so many problems. A lot of them can't get their medications right. Some are newly diagnosed with bipolar and don't know what to think about this new world they have entered. Depression, mania, mixed. All of these are episodes people with bipolar have. The average person does not understand what it is like to go through these episodes. What hell it is to be so high that you think you are bullet proof, spend money you don't have, go into rages. So down into the depths of darkness unable to get out of bed, feel hopeless, and worthless. Society has labeled people with a mental illness "crazy". It's not true though. I'm sure there are some out there that are, but the majority aren't. Bipolar is treatable with medication. Take me for example, I am stable which means my moods are even. I don't have many ups and downs and when I do, they are not extreme like they used to be. They are managed by my medications. I live a normal, healthy lifestyle. When I tell people that I have bipolar disorder, they say "I couldn't even tell". Probably because they didn't even know what to look for. The public is basically uneducated about mental illnesses. All they are shown is what the movies or television shows portray. It's usually not a good story when you see it there. A lot of mentally ill people don't even get diagnosed because of the stigma. Many don't admit they even have a mental illness because of the stigma. They live in hiding about their illness. I don't. I will tell anyone. I don't give a shit what people think about me. I figure if someone is going to not like me because of my disorder, then they don't deserve me. I am a very nice person, one of the nicest people you will ever meet, and I would do anything for anyone. A lot of us are like this. All we want is to be accepted. The stigma makes it impossible for most people with mental illnesses. So I sit here, listening to acoustic rock on AOL music thinking of these people and my heart goes out to them. I wish I could take their pain away from them and put it all on me. I know I would be strong enough to take it. I hope everyone knows how lucky they are to have their mind in a normal state. I would not wish this disorder upon anyone. I wish people would help me kill the stigma of mental illness by learning about it and spreading the word. Someday.

11/24/10

Mood today: Good. Got to work at 6:30 this morning. I love it when it's quiet at work when I first get there. There was only two people there when I got there and they work in a separate part of the office, so I had my part all to myself. It was nice. Other people started rolling in around 7:15. I started on my payroll for the truck drivers because we only have to work a half day today. I gave the receptionist her break at 10:00, then finished the payroll around 11:30. Next I moved onto the Molasses billing. I think I finished that around 1:00. Got out of work around 2:00. So, I worked two hours later than I had to, but I got my work done. I get paid for it though, so I didn't mind one bit. We also get a half day on Friday. Makes the work week a little easier on us.

After work I headed to the pharmacy to pick up my prescriptions, can't live without them! Then headed to the grocery store for some milk and water and smokes of course. Then finally I got home sweet home. Logged on, got my tea and started chatting with a fellow friend from MDJ on MSN. Hadn't talked with him for awhile. It was good to catch up. One things though, he can chat for hours on end. Only lasted though for about an hour though till he had to go make some dinner so that was good. I checked in with MDJ and answered posts and emails so that was out of the way then got on facebook. I am also a facebook junkie. Thank God for the internet. I'm so glad someone invented it.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. My dad asked me to go to his house and so did one of my sisters. They both live an hour away. I have decided that I just want to stay at home this year. I don't want to make the hour long trip there and back. It's too tiring and I have to get up early to go to work. I'm pretty much a bah humbug person around the holidays too. So, they will probably be mad at me, but oh well. I will love to sleep in and do nothing for a day. It will be like the weekend for one day.

So, I think I will stay up late since I am playing hooky tomorrow. I feel like a kid again! Ha ha. No plans for this weekend. I always just stay at home. I have so many damn bills that I don't have any money left over to go do anything. This is my entertainment, my computer. I don't mind though. There are lots of people I spend time with on here since I have MDJ and facebook. I also have chat to talk to people too. I know it's unhealthy to stay home all of the time, but hey, what's a girl with no money to do, right? Someday I'll meet my sugar daddy or a really well to do boyfriend.

My boyfriend, well, I haven't talked to him since Sunday I believe. We have a weird relationship. I don't think we've seen each other in two months. We live in the same city too. Actually about 5 minutes apart. We just don't make the effort. He stays home playing WOW and I stay home on my computer. It works for us. We talk on the phone and text, but not all that often. Maybe 3-4 times a week. I know, it's strange. That's just how we are though. I don't know that we will last, but it works for us for now. We've been together off and on for 12 years. Well, off to visit cyberland!!

11/22/10

Mood: Irritable. Work went fairly well, but I found myself pretty irritable at everyone. People's actions, the smallest things were annoying the shit out of me. I hate it when I get like this. I grit my teeth, and try my hardest to make the feelings go away. I don't know what brought on all of this, but it's gone for now. Probably because I live alone and there are no people around me. LOL.

So, I took a sleeping pill last night and I didn't sleep very well at all. I woke up so many times it was ridiculous. My mind wouldn't shut off for some reason. I felt like I didn't get much sleep because of it. I finally woke up around 7:00, I usually wake up around 5:30. I was quite late at getting up I would say. Rushed around, then left for work. I did get to work before 8:00 though, so I wasn't late. I got on MDJ and checked out the posts. Didn't answer them all, I'd have to do that later on lunch.

I spent some time with Emily. We did some purchases and some transfers and some billing. After lunch I finished up the billing and then I recorded her doing some barges and some Stockton tank transfers for me to later reference. She will be going on maternity leave on the 15th of December. That is coming up soon. I will be on my own then doing her job. Scary though. At least I can call her if I get into some trouble.

11/21/10

Mood: Good. I know I have a lot of good moods, but it's because I am stable. I wouldn't say I am jumping up and down for joy, but I am level and things didn't go wrong that day. That is why I put good. I know my entries are very boring, but it's good to get things that happened for my day down on paper/internet paper so I can look back at it. It's just my everyday life happenings. I lead a boring life really. Sometime I have some excitement, but that's very rare. Now, if I won lot's of money, I would be jumping up and down!

So, today I got up at 9:00. I didn't want to, but I did. Yesterday I didn't take my Dexedrine because every once in awhile I have to take a holiday from it so I don't become immune from it. I woke up at 2:00 pm yesterday. Yikes. I guess I needed the sleep. I didn't even stay up very late on Friday night. So when I had taken my medications earlier in the morning, I didn't take my Dexedrine. I got up for awhile, got on the computer, got on MDJ and facebook. Then around I'd say 6:00 pm I laid down on the bed and fell asleep until 11:30 pm. I stayed awake until 12:15 am then went back to sleep until 9:00 this morning. I got plenty of sleep this weekend. I contribute all of my sleep yesterday to not taking the Dexedrine. This always happens on my holiday away from it.

What a waste of a day. I could have been doing a lot of answering of emails, replies to posts, answering to diaries, etc. Oh well, guess I needed the sleep for my body and mind. I could have been cleaning too. On Friday night I cleaned the kitchen. That was an accomplishment. I felt really good getting that done. It was a major mess. I still need to clean the floor, but everything is white and the dishes are clean. I've been neglecting my housework. It's hard because I live alone and no one ever comes to visit. It's a good thing because my house isn't very clean. I'm really going to work on that though. It's one of my goals. A little bit at a time, but it will get done. Motivation is what I need.

It snowed where three of my sisters live and my dad. One of my sisters lives in the city like I do. We don't have to worry about the snow. I am so glad. I used to live an hour away near my other family and I'd have to drive in that shit, and I hated it. I can't stand being cold. Here I have a heater, not a wood stove. All I have to do it hit a switch and there is instant heat. I love it. It only rains here, so I don't have to drive in the snow and worry about slipping into anything. I'm just all around happy that I live where I live.

I have so many damn bills every month and so many that I can't seem to pay. Mostly medical bills. I can't understand why when I have insurance that I have such high bills from the places I get medical things done. What the hell. Thought the insurance companies paid the whole balance. I always get bills that I thought were covered. I just got a procedure done called Essure and the insurance covered all but $800 and something that I will have to pay. I don't have that kind of money. I live paycheck to paycheck. I barely make it and it really stresses me out. I don't know what to do about it anymore. I think I need to file bankruptcy or something with my credit and all of these bills that I have going on in collections. I don't know what to do.

Well, it's back to work tomorrow. Emily will probably be back tomorrow and we can record the tank inventory process in Stockton that we've been meaning to do. I did some billing on my own on Friday. She is saying she will probably be leaving for maternity leave on December 15th. So, I don't have too long till I take over her spot. It should be interesting and hopefully not too hard for me. I still have to do my job and they will be adding drivers to my payroll that I do. I already have one driver added. I think there will be three more. This will make me even busier. Oh well, job security right? Well, better get back to my MDJ. Lots to do on there. Journals and discussions.

11/19/10

Mood today: Good. I am pretty damn bored tonight. Work was alright, but went by slow for me. I didn't have a whole lot to do. I got to work at like 6:30 am. I was the first one there. I just got on the internet and then ran the reports for payroll and applied the amounts off. After Ingrid's lunch, I went in and got the billing from Emily's desk and did that. She wasn't here today. Couldn't do any recording of Stockton tank transfers with the video camera.

I checked my MDJ early and throughout the day so I got caught up pretty early today. I have stayed caught up since I haven't had much to do at work. DS is even caught up but one journal that I need to read. So, that is why I sit here board. I have everything caught up.

Michael is playing tonight at the Revue. I would go see him, but I don't want to go to the Tower District and be all cold for a show. It would be really nice to see him though. He says there will be other last minute shows because of the holidays and he'll do two requests for me next time I go. That's awful nice of him to offer. Let's see if he follows through with it. I think I will request Undone and The World is Burning.

Angel invited me to Thanksgiving at her house. That was nice of her, but I really would just rather spend the day at home. I think I would enjoy that much better than running around driving an hour there and an hour back. It always wears me out. I have to work the next day too and I will be tired. I just want to stay home. Nat and I will probably do some kind of Thanksgiving on the weekend. She said that we could do that.

Haven't talked to B in awhile. He texted me on my birthday when I invited him to come out to have dinner with Nat, Fallon, and I. He declined because he didn't feel good. Said we'd go out another night. Since then, the 15th, we haven't talked or texted I don't think. We hardly ever do. We have such a weird relationship. It's like we don't have one and we are just friends. We don't act like we are together, but we are. I don't know, it's strange.

Well, guess I better look for something to do. I guess I could go wash the dishes in the sink. That's always something to do. Not something I want to do, but it does need to get done. My friend hasn't been online to chat with in like three days, so I have no one to chat with. Maybe someone will come online that I want to chat with. We shall see.
