Feats of Splendifferousness!

Whoa. Now *that* was a long, unbelieveably interesting day.

The last few days have been nothing but maddness, so I've decided to create this post with one specific intent: To highlight all the wicked-cool stuff that's happened to me in the last week.

1. Got my PSL Midterm back: 76%
2. Got my Kid Lit Journal back: 82%, AFTER the late penalty!
3. Was called "the only sensible voice" within the xForums hacker catastrophy, though I think that's questionable...
4. Auditioned for the Vagina Monologues, and I'm pretty sure I got a part!
5. Got upgraded from "The Principle" in The Wierd Kid to Trish, the part I had last year (an actor dropped this morning...)
6. Got my OSAP processed, and I should be getting about $160 back.
7. Did some much needed scrubbing done at the Lucky
8. Got some positive reinforcement from Dr. Gooderham (more about that later)
9. Got out of bed every day this week before 10am!!
10. Started the whole schedual thing, and, though adjustments are sorely needed, made an attempt to stick to as much as I could.

So, yeah, I feel pretty awsome right now. Re-taking-on the role of Trish doesn't change my schedual, because I was expected to go to every rehersal anyways, and I have blocked off time already for rehersing lines. The part with the Vagina Monologues (I'll know tomorrow if I've got something) will be awsome, and because rehersals are aparently going to be Fridays at 3pm, I can still do 6am-2pm shifts at the Lucky and not have to alter my schedual much.

Dr. Gooderham and I had a quick chat today, and she's decided to leave my meds as is until they've been given time to take full effect. She said that, because my appetite hasn't changed, nor has my "intrest" level, I'm sleeping ok (when I sleep), and I'm seeing a counciler (Angela) she thinks I'm on the right track. She said that if it was really a problem, I wouldn't be seeking help in the first place, and would probably have dropped out by now. She says that I need to cut back on my coffee intake, and start sleeping better (no kidding), but other than that, she thinks that my coping skills are ok, with the exception of the Anxiety. For that, she has asked me to start exercising: specifically running. And I agree. I think I need to be more physical, and walking to and from the bus stop just isn't enough. So, I'm going to try and schedual in a half hour at the gym, on the treadmill, 3x per week. Probably between/before/after classes will work best, in those hour gaps when I usually just sit in the caf.

But now, I must eat something, then crawl into bed. I have to be up at 5am tomorrow to be at work on time.

Yay progress!

Hello Lacey!!

You've had quite a run in of events as of late from the little of this I have had time to read. I'm glad to hear that things are picking up at seeming a little more stable. I hope you get things the way you want, cause you deserve the best. I really miss your energy and humour. (and all those days procrastinating on projects - guess those days are over.. for both of us lets hope!). Just thought I'd let you know that I'm thinking of you!!! Good luck with everything, and I admire your involvement.

SMILE!!! *insert inspiring and witty comment here*

*HUGS*
