Another new course

-
We are going into he 3rd week of the course on sealants at school. This is going to be another frustrating course. I still need another patient in order to even pass this course.
I have decided to remove the sanity scale because it was kind of annoying to try to put a number on my mood. The Prozac seems to be working OK. I feel a little better, and less depressed, but I am still tired all of the time. I'm starting to think I just have chronic fatigue instead of depression.
I started working for a restaurant -passing out coupons and trying to sell their catering services. I have also been filling in on some weekend nights as cashier to help them out and make a little extra money. And I got my step son a job there as a dishwasher. Working the register kills my knees and makes me so damn tired. but I feel a little better about myself because I am doing something to bring in some money while I am in school.
I have to give props to my husband (because he said I do) for keeping up with the house and making me dinner and keeping my scrubs washed and getting the coffee pot set up every morning and quizzing me on Sunday nights for my Monday tests, and pretty much for being an awesome husband. (and it's really not just because he told me to say so - he seriously deserves the recognition)Love you Babe!!

Have a Good Day!

-
Earlier this week I went to pump gas and all I had was cash so I had to go into the store to pay. The young man behind the counter was polite and the transaction was quick. Because I was fresh from work I ended the short conversation by saying "Have a good day!" in my best customer service voice and his response was "Alright." It struck me as odd, mostly because his inflection was of someone being given directions and agreeing to follow them in a half hearted and resigned way. Maybe no one else told him to have a good day so he hadn't thought about it, and then he felt like he should just because I told him to with such enthusiasm. Does it make your day in any way if someone tells you, "Have a good day!" Is it an annoyance, or do you even notice those little polite sayings when you are busily running through your day?

HOLLYWOOD - The American Nightmare

I have so much to say, I hope I can organize my thoughts here into something that makes a little bit of sense. Keep in mind this is not a news blog, this is an opinion blog. So, what I have to say is based on what I have heard, and how it has made me feel. For me this storm of debauchery began with the #metoo campaign. Watching all of the women I know pour out their experiences to support each other and put it out there that we are not alone. I appreciate all of you in your bravery and openness. The many allegations against Harvey Weinstein became the focus shortly after that, letting us know that even celebrities are not exempt from the shit we all have to go through as women. We also saw that it takes a lot of women standing together to be taken seriously and if you are not the "right type" of woman, you might as well keep it to yourself until someone more reputable shines a light on the asshole who hurt you. The Courtney Loves and Rose McGowans of the industry were not

A Book Review: The Rules of Magic, by Alice Hoffman

I picked up this audio book because it was Reese Witherspoon's Book Club selection for the month. I didn't realize it was a prequel to Practical Magic until I was ready to click "order," and I could not have been more excited to read it. I LOVE that movie. So much so that I had everyone in my wedding walk out to a song from the soundtrack for that movie. I love that my niece is named Jillian because of that movie. (I mean I love it because of that, not that she was named that because of the movie....or was she? little Jillybean!) That movie was where I discovered Joni Mitchell and Stevie Nicks.. Talk about a great soundtrack! All of this to say, I was thrilled about this book. Practical Magic follows the lives of Gillian and Sally Owens and The Rules of Magic gives us more Owens family history with a look into the early lives of the Aunts that raise Gillian and Sally after their parents fall victim to the Owens curse. Most of this review is based on the assumpti
