Not much to report at the moment. Last night was a Dr. Steve night, so not much accomplished. We did a check-in to see how I was progressing; my anxiety has gone down by 1/3, but my depression has gone up dramatically. Which explains all of the sleeping, you see. It makes sense and I told him as soon as he tallied the scores that one went up and the other went down. The depression seems to be centered around my work life, as my personal life is quite satisfactory. This also makes sense because I feel like as I work through my personal issues and my self-esteem is restored, I am less willing to settle for anything. That means that not being challenged enough at work is becoming less acceptable to me. Which can make it hard to get out of bed in the morning!
But enough of that for now. Today is a sleepy day. I’m fighting a cold, so I took some over-the-counter medicine when I got home and slept on the couch for a few hours. Now I’m going to go to bed and hope that I can head this off at the pass so it doesn’t affect my ability to do my job this weekend when we have a software deployment to do.
On the stitching front, I did manage to finish the third blackwork square into a biscornu last night. I’ll take a picture sometime later; hopefully after I have at least one more to show off, as well. 🙂
Hi Jenna! Aww..sorry to hear you are fighting a cold. It’s been kind of icky weather..rainy and chilly..so a cold is pretty much immenient. Lots of warm soup..and plenty of pampering..hehe :)) Glad to see that you are making continued progress in your life. Maybe it’s time for you to take a look around to find a job more challenging?? Just a suggestion..not an easy one of course. But if you don’t fullfilled at work…sometimes it’s better for the psyche to find something more appropriate and fullfilling. So you just not merely working to take home a paycheck….
You are the biscornu queen I swear!! LOL I still have yet to finish one…I need to have a serious sit down with my sewing machine here soon…as I’ve got loads of projects that need to find their homes. *sigh* LOL Such is life…I guess it wouldn’t be any fun if it weren’t hectic at times. 😉
Have a good one!! *HUGS*

I sleep when depressed too, Jenna. Perhaps a little “fishing expedition” is in order. Maybe you’ll land the prize!! Take care of yourself and put that virus on the run. 😀
I don’t sleep when I’m depressed, and turn into a numb zombie. Horrid. Enjoy the extra sleep, if you can. LOL
Perhaps you need to look around for a new job?
oh take care Jenna … my Alex was home from school x 2 days with fever, sore throat, & head cold. Never mind he got sick during class + didn’t want to go see the school RN. Sick bugs are such bummers …
