I woke up today without a crippling headache!! After getting a spinal tap early on Monday, I've dealt with a horrible headache, two blood patches, two long ER visits and I'm now sore as hell and look like I've been used as a human pin cushion. But I woke up today feeling like I could get up and go to work so my day is already awesome as hell! Lackadaisical has a new favorite as of 15:32 on Sep 30, 2011 |

Last night I had a much needed fun night out with a coworker. Today is Friday. And I'm spending Saturday doing a Halloween pubcrawl dressed as Princess Peach. Oh and after the week from hell last week, where I was about to have a nervous breakdown from how stressed I was, I finally had a relaxing week where all my work is coming out right. It's nice to be able to post here again.

It's my birthday today and for the first time in years I'm not actually depressed about that I can't even remember the last time I felt this way, but for a change, life is going really great. I'm spending the day with my amazing best friend, after having a really nice Thanksgiving with family, and tomorrow I go to my job, which I love, where I get to hang out with great co-workers. I also got some amazing birthday gifts. I could get used to this. Oh, and the NBA lockout is over so I might actually get to see a Kings game this year

Today is pay day! Plus, I had to give a presentation at work for the first time yesterday afternoon and I had been nervous for the past week. I absolutely rocked it and now it's the end of the week already.

It's kind of cheesy but I was hanging out with a coworker who I've become good friends with. Somehow the conversation caused her to say that if I ever had to have any procedures or got hurt and needed someone to drive me, she'd take off work and be "my person" It's cheesy but it's awesome to have someone say that.

I went to a work party last night where I got a LOT of compliments on my new dress. Plus my best friend drove 1.5 hours to come be my date and we had an amazing time. Then today I got to see my mom for the first time in weeks. After, I bought my very first smartphone! I have no idea how to use it yet but it's just nice to be able to finally afford things now that I have a real job for the first time.

It's a brand new year I've never been so excited for New Years because it's the start to a new period in my life. The past 365 days of my life have been the most eventful and significant of my life and I'm bittersweet to say goodbye to all that but I'm ready to move on. I'm done with college (undergraduate anyway), I finally got diagnosed after trying to figure out what was wrong with me for years, I went through a pretty major break-up, I live in a new city, I have new and amazing friends, I lost a lot of weight, lead a healthier life and I have a new job. I have no idea what's next for me but this is the first time in a long, LONG time I've felt truly optimistic about the future. And it all starts today.

The past few days have been pretty awesome just because of how productive I've been With how busy life has been, I've been accumulating a long list of things that need to get done. I managed to knock out stuff that's been on the list for a couple of months plus do laundry, prepare a monthly finance budget and get a tracker app set-up on my phone to help me adhere to that, prepare my lunches for the week (healthy ones!) and even do all my homework assignments for a class I'm taking almost a week before they are due. It feels pretty nice being able to check off a significant chunk of my to do list. Definitely eases up on the stress a bit.

My boss isn't in today so I'm having a super easy and relaxing day at work. My coworkers and I spent an hour watching youtube videos. Most of them were of cute baby sloths . And I'm getting 4 lbs of protein powder delivered today so I can start eating better, like I did until recently. Four pounds of delicious protein.

Watching Space Jam. That movie is epic. It was to psych myself up to go to my first NBA game of the season. Today is pretty loving awesome. E: also, going to my favorite place for dinner. Mongolian BBQ is fantastic. Lackadaisical has a new favorite as of 03:09 on Feb 5, 2012 |

-I just got home from kicking a midterms rear end. -Tomorrow the only people who will be at work are myself and one of my best friends. -After 5 weeks of presenting at staff meetings, which is as close to hell as you can get without dying, I FINALLY don't have to go again next week. -I have tickets for a Beer and Chocolate Festival this weekend. -I got paid today. -I got some lab results back and I think I'm healthy enough to cut out another medication. Two down, only two left! So far, not too many complaints!

It's still a work in progress but, god drat, it's good to see hard work pay off. My best friend just got his A1C back and it was in the 6 range so I know how exciting that can be Congrats! My day was pretty crappy but to make up for it, I spent the night with bed, Arrested Development, my cat, and pot stickers. It was pretty fantastic.

Koivunen posted:I helped a patient die with dignity. I think this is a first for this thread. My yesterday was awesome because for the first time in months, I really enjoyed my job. Everyone was in a good mood and I got to do stuff I like doing. Plus, it was a nice Valentines day. I wanted it to be low key so I just did dinner and spent the evening in with netflix. But I feel incredibly lucky - a year ago, I was dealing with depression, was alone and ended up spending the day with a friend I wasn't that close to (at the time, we're best friends now) because I didn't know what else to do. This year, I have over a handful of people I could have celebrated and had an amazing time with. I have a lot more love in my life than 365 days ago it was nice to stop and realize/appreciate it.

Lady of the Beech posted:That's the spirit! You can't change the past so there's no reason to let it keep you down. Additional reasons why today is awesome: 1) I thought I lost a pair of shoes that I wear all the time and were expensive. I spent the past 2 weeks looking for them EVERYWHERE. My housemate told me this morning that her dog apparently decided to pick them up and hide them under her bed. I got my shoes back and in the same, non-chewed condition! 2) Got tickets to see another basketball game in a couple of weeks 3) I woke up with my cat cuddling with me

I expected to have a boring, sad Friday night but I ended up going out and meeting a bunch of new people who spent the whole night boosting my ego it was my first time ever being at a bar for last call and everyone joined in singing "don't stop believin". It was hilarious. As for today: family, lash tinting and sangrias. Enough said.

I had a rough first couple of days this week so I think karma decided to make up for it the past day or so. -I signed up for a CSA for the first time and I get my first box next Friday -My staff meeting yesterday, which is normally brutal, was a movie party -I got asked out by someone I was sure I'd never hear back from -I finally got my bike fixed up so once the weather clears next week I can start biking to work, which I'm really excited about -I put on almost 10lbs while in a relationship and I have almost completely lost it all since it ended a few weeks back Also, it started raining and its my favorite time of year rain is so wonderful

I was home sick today. And while being sick normally sucks, I got to catch up on sleep, skip a presentation at work (and no one minded because it meant they got to go to a party instead) and a guy left me a package with chicken soup and Emergen-C's on my front porch with a bow on top Oh, and same guy asked me to go away to the snow for the weekend and it'd only be my 3rd or 4th time ever seeing it. I almost wish I'd get sick more often!

In the midst of a tonsil infection, I can use a little optimism and silver lining While home today, I finally got around to taking care of stuff I've been putting off for a long time. I bought new athletic shoes, new sheets (for the first time in about 4 years), finished homework for the classes I'm taking, finished getting my bike ride-able, and I finally got to the grocery store to pick up some of my favorite foods. When I'm walking around on new shoes and sleeping on new sheets, my day is going to be super awesome

It's the weekend!!!! I'm feeling better after a week of being sick and since I went ahead and canceled all my plans, I have two days of relaxing ahead of me. I haven't had this much free time in months AND I have my apartment to myself. I already did two loads of laundry so I have clean sheets, took the worlds longest shower and I get to sleep in as long as I want tomorrow. A whole two days. It's going to be so nice!

There was beautiful weather for a change, I got some stuff I needed from Ikea, I spent time with family and best of all, an exboyfriend of mine contacted me to talk and we even made tentative plans to hang out I've really missed having him in my life, in any capacity, so it left me with a big smile.

I had to present at work today and normally it's brutal. I've seen grown men cry at the meetings. For the first time, EVER, mine went well. Fun almost. I got a wedding invitation for one of my good friends. It's spring break so I don't have to deal with classes today. The weather was awesome. Everything is perfect

Yesterday was awesome because my work day flew by, I got another CSA delivery (which had yummy strawberries), I got to sleep on new sheets and I went to the batting cages to get practice for softball. Oh and the best part was my physical therapist gave me the okay to try going for a run. This is pretty monumental for me since I haven't been able to run since 2009 when I had my first foot surgery. Today is awesome because I got to sleep in, did some gardening (finally), have a party to go to this afternoon and will hopefully either get to try going for a run or going for a swim. Either way, I get to work out and it's going to feel great.

I'm starting a pretty fantastic stretch. I spent the whole weekend sleeping, which I needed pretty badly. Today I kicked butt on a midterm AND a quiz. This next weekend I have two major, fun events and I get to see family I haven't seen in a while. And in the next month I have a good friends wedding, my best friends tour de cure race, an orientation to volunteer somewhere I've been wanting work for almost a decade and my sports teams start (softball, kickball and ultimate frisbee). I'm really excited about it all!
