Smooth sailing!?

Where to begin?!

I forgot to mention that I finally got new clothes last Thursday. It went pretty well in the store. Maybe because I wasn’t in there long. I left with three pairs of jeans, three pairs of shorts and five t-shirts. not bad for a five minute shopping spree.

I saw my doctor yesterday. He’s a nice guy, but I can’t help think that anxiety problems are over his head. He just agreed with everything I said. So I’m lowering one medication and adding an extra dose of the other. I’ll see him in a month and then we’ll talk about going back to work. If I still don’t feel good, it’s another trip to the psychiatrist.

I asked him to recommend me a behavior psychologist, he told me to call the association. Why can’t doctors refer other doctors? And is it normal for him not to talk to my shrink? He never disagrees with anything I tell him. I could tell him anything, pretend my shrink said so and he would accept it. Is it just me?

Still, I’m glad I’m lowering one med. To me it feels like a step forward. Hopefully my mind will agree. I’m pretty sure it’s too high and it’s dampening my mood. The dosage I was thinking is the dosage he mentioned. I think it’s a good sign.

The house where we’re renting is up for sale. Our plans to renovate the kitchen are on hold until we know what’s happening. Since we’re renting the ground floor, there is a good chance we’ll have to move next year.

The agent dropped by yesterday to take pictures. He says he’s sure it will be an investor who will buy the house and won’t kick us out. We’ll see. He was amazed at the work that we’ve done. He loved the landscaping. He also liked what we’ve done to the bathroom. He says he’ll tell the buyers that we’re very handy and are ready to do some work to our apartment. All they would have to do is give us the material. 

What’s good is, he’ll make the current owner fix a few things. She never wanted to do it when we asked her. But now she won’t have a choice. He seemed like a nice guy. But I can’t shake the “car salesman” vibe I kept getting from him. He wants me to put in an offer on the house. But with all the major work that needs to be done, she is asking way to much. Besides, with my being sick for the last year, my finances are suffering right now.

So we might wait until January to do our renovations.

 Aside from the house, things are really going well. I don’t know if the lowering of the meds is all in my head, but I really have a good feeling about it. I’ll know in a few weeks.

It’s going to be a great day to be outside today. I’ll clean the yards and flower boxes. I wish I could go for a bike ride.

Have fun!?
