I started taking 5-htp again last night. I forgot I still have half a bottle, an article in a magazine jostled my memory. I had been doing well taking it on and off. You're not supposed to take it continuously. Anyway, I started taking it again last night. 100mg before bed and I am so glad that I did! I slept well, although some of that may be because I am not loaded with caffeine. I've been in good spirits all day as well. I'm going to continue because it always seems to help.

This morning a friend of mine who treats her MS with cannabis posted an article about CBD oil being useful for anxiety. I have considered that route. I need to do more research. I mean, I know the results of my,um, previous studies, yeah, previous studies involving cannabis products, but the oil is a different experience. I don't understanding to totally. Or where to get it. Or if I am comfortable with the gray area it falls into legally. I'm sure none of the side effects include thoughts of suicide and worsening depression but to be fair, one of the main reasons I partake of the herb anymore is the legality. But anyway...it's a thought.

I got a raise. Starts in the next pay period aka Monday aka woot woot!

Kind of a strange night, though. Now, I don't know if it is intentional or coincidental but my son keeps making references to my ex-boyfriend.  First, at the comic and card shop, he makes a comment when we are walking up to the door about what if (insert ex's name here) walks out when we're walking in. I had a moment of terror. Oh GOD, what if!? I replied that I didn't know what I would do. The night that happened when I was dating the guy, it was actually pretty cool. We both just ended up at the same place. No, stalking, just synchronicity. Then, the rest of the night it has been odd references or sayings that are from that man. I'm sure it's just coincidence but it kinda bothered me.

Not giving it anymore thought.

Never did hear back from the intake people. It's kinda sad that it's this complex to get an appointment.

I did have one cup of coffee this morning. 

What else?

Shrug. I guess that's it. It's been a good day. Genuinely.

The thing about Sunday... I deeply and truly missed my church when I couldn't go because of my work schedule. There hit a stretch where I couldn't hit service, I couldn't commit to small groups, and I missed it so much. When my schedule changed, I was excited to be able to get back to Sunday service. I was excited to get back into helping out. It means a lot to me. That being said. I haven't been to church in three weeks. I don't know when I am going back and I am really hoping that attendance is only one part of the grade. Some Christians work like hell for the devil. Seemingly if I am not related to those folks, they've friended me on Facebook. Nothing makes you want to join the darkside more than someone's extremely off-base and rude comments about your faith and super off the mark assumptions about the state of my relationship with God. Oh and in this case, commentary that suggested that I was chasing boys for lack of a better term was not only out ...
Saturday. Saturday just seems to get harder and harder. I first started having trouble with Saturdays when my ex first moved out and we started bouncing our kid back and forth on weekends. It's a lot of time to try and fill. The thing of it is, it wasn't even that much time. When that started in 2014, I worked a retail job. My "weekend" started Tuesday night, so Saturdays and Sundays weren't all leisure time. Two months ago, Saturday suck got a lot worse. I am grateful to be back in a Monday to Friday gig. I just didn't realize how difficult weekends would be. The weekend my son goes to the dark side is also the weekend my daughter works. That was an over site on my part, I agreed to a change with my ex and didn't think it through all the way. The first couple of weekends, I think I was so excited about the novelty of not having to work that there was a certain spring in my step. I'm not saying I lost the bounce but I am not enjoying all this f...
