Things are picking up!
this post written on 4/23/07
* I was accepted to my first-choice school; Portland State University! I get to stay in Portland for at least two more years. I am hoping to travel abroad during my second year for a while … hopefully in Kefalonia, Greece or somewhere else super-cool! Anywhere overseas would actually be super-cool to me since I wouldn’t be there for too long, but I’m hoping a community planning program and Kefalonia has one.
* I, like my friend The Master of Irony, have been very compliant in my medications lately. I missed ONE day (yesterday) becuase I woke up late (noon) and had to be at The Oregon Museum of Science & Industry at 1pm. I didn’t realize that I had forgotten until I was halfway to OMSI so I skipped it yesterday. I took my 20mg right on time this morning and am back on track.
* I am now employed. The nannying family; the McCoys and I hung out yesterday (why I had to be at OMSI at 1pm) and I had a wonderful time. I chased (sometimes literally) Mr.T (who does not have a mohawk or wear gold chains) around the Science Playground and wore MrArrr on my hip in a beautiful Maya Wrap sling. It was incredibly comfortable and I was able to chase a three-year-old while I had a one-year-old strapped to me. Great exercise AND fun! I start with the McCoys on Wednesday morning and am looking forward to the adventures that will happen this summer.
* I have been interviewing with other places for part-time work on top of nannying, since I will have the time (and hopefully the energy?) to work somewhere else. (Adult conversation!) I have had a great experience with the women at Realty Trust Group here in town and go in for my second interview on Tuesday at 2pm. I am really excited to see what they have going on … even if they may not be able to officially hire me until June 1st, I’ll be able to manage things until then.
* This afternoon and evening I am going to spend some quality time with my friend MissBee and we are going to take a butt-load of photographs with our cameras (Mine is pretty! and MissBee’s is super-cool-looking!) I am looking forward to getting out and playing with the new camera. I am even going to drag out the tripod and fill up an entire memory card with shots. This will lead to a half million pictures (okay, well only 500 maybe) so hopefully SOMETHING good comes out of that! If anything superb comes out, I’ll share with ya’ll.
* See! Things work when I take my meds! : )

Oh yeah…….another hint. For meds that are easier to forget in the AM or for PRNs I have a little thingie that I keep a few extra in my pocket. I used to use a little box thing from Walmart that cost about $.50, but my doctor gave me this cool pouch thing that is a drug advertisement which protects the pills better. The Walmart box once spilled pills and I lost a number of ativan pills in a psychiatric facility with a lot of drug addicts who would take anything. Oops.
