- Jack has decided that we need to refer to him as "Superman"
- He calls Bob da Mato "Mr. Bob"
- He told me yesterday "Please don't talk to me; I'm grouchy."
- He is behaving much better lately although he does have his moments
I'm doing well at work for the most part. I'm having a lot of trouble concentrating. I've contacted my doctor so hopefully that will soon be a non-issue. For those of you who don't know it; I have chronic clinical depression which has plagued me from childhood. It took me a long time to accept it and stay on my medication. I used to think that it was all in my head (HA! HA!) and that if I just tried hard enough I could be "normal". I've come to realize that this is an illness not much different than diabetes. In fact that is a common thing that doctors will say; "If you had diabetes you wouldn't expect to go off medication and cure yourself." It's true. I think though, if it wasn't so stygmatized it would be easier. There are a lot of people who think it's a character flaw or just a weakness. I had a boyfriend (not for long) who told me if I prayed hard enough it would get better and the fact that I still had it meant I was being "godly" enough. It is really difficult not to take that to heart. It kind of makes you wonder a little even if it's only in the back of your mind. Anyway, now you all know my "secret".
Work as I said before is going well. I took a typing test last week for another job in the municipality I work in (not that I want to move but it's always good getting experience at interviewing and doing cover letters etc.). I scored 61 wpm with no errors. I was quite pleased. The last one I took I only scored 55 wpm.
I just got some make-up from my dear SIL. I love it! It's great and I was so excited to try it out today. I got some freebies too which is so much fun. I played around with that today. I think I need to look up some make-up application tips on the MK website. Just as a plug for Kirsten I have to tell you that she will ship the make-up to you so don't let distance deter you from ordering from her. I won't order from anyone else.
Ok, gotta get going and prepare for our snowstorm that's supposed to hit tonight.

Hi Cassie, welcome back to bloggy land.
Good on you for improving your typing speed and that with no errors. I have to say I always have a error or two...or three.
It's good to accept the things we are dealt out in life, even though we would have wanted it different, but atleast we can say ok, let's deal with it, do the best we can and get on with life and still be good mothers and wifes.
I have incompetent veins in one leg and constanly struggles with it swelling up, I'm suppose to wear a compression stocking all the time, but also think it will go away if I ignore it hard enough. By the end of the day I realise again and again it haven't.
Darn!
Depression here down under is slowly raising its profile and the stigma is not as it used to be, which is fabulous for young people such as yourself. It is a real disease, and most certainly not "made up". Cogratulations on your positive attitude Cassie :o)
