Still more in the way of Pressies!!

[wednes]

We received gifts yesterday and today from groovesinorbit and from Good Adam and Kimmie. They were swell gifts all the way around. One of them came in a giant (and I mean giant, like I could jump into it) draw string bag. It's large and cumbersome, but I really don't want to throw it away because it's so damn cool. I think I'm gonna keep it under the bed for next time I need a giant, draw string bag. Maybe I'll make some enormous runes the size of 33 1/3 records and keep them in there. Ha HA HA HA!

I passed my test at work. In fact, my score was quite good. So far the extra work hasn't been too bad. Next week I have to give a sales presentation about finding the customer's "pain" and making it better. I don't know why, but I sometimes feel I'm losing my urge to speak in front of crowds. I used to be really good at that sort of thing, but lately I tend to get nervous and forgetful when I have to speak in front of any group. Plus my new boss makes me nervous, I think she thinks I'm dumb or something. The good news is, I get a raise because I passed my test. So Yay for money and Yay for me.

When does LOST start again? I would've thought I'd be inundated with ads for it, but I've seen not a one. I want my Michael Emerson back, and I want Hurley right now! I'm sick of waiting.

I don't want to go to work tomorrow, nor do I want to call all the RSVP slackers when I get home.
But I'm going to do both.
Sunday is grocery shopping, followed by a housewarming party, followed by cartoons, followed by sleep.
Because I have to work early every Monday and Tuesday, it would seem.

Starts in February, probably so they can air the whole season with no interruptions.

They do the same thing with 24, too.

February!?!?

That's craptacular.

You should have a 3 legged race!

[wednes.livejournal.com]

OMG that would be so hilarious.

You mean you don't have the lost widget on your computer!

[wednes.livejournal.com]

No, I haven't gone widget shopping in awhile.

[groovesinorbit]

Yay! I'm glad it arrived. And I'm glad you passed your test. Good for you.

I've never been good at speaking in front of people (people I can see, anyway). It's something I wish I was better at.

[wednes.livejournal.com]

Thank you, and Thanks!

Yeah, I used to be pretty good at the whole public speaking thing. Now I just don't feel like speaking in front of a group of any size. Even at Group, I don't talk as much as I used to.

Congrats on work! And I'm glad your wedding seems to be coming together smoothly at this point!

[gusterize.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to see that the gift arrived! I really hope everything turns out well!

[groovesinorbit]

It could be stress-related. With the wedding and the new job and all? Do you want to get back to where you were better with it?

[wednes.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Once I have this RSVP thing taken care of, I'll be much more relaxed about the whole thing...

...I hope. ;-]

It arrived and we are already using it. It's the first time we had a blanket that's the right size for out bed. It's pretty neat!

Honestly, I think it's the medication that I'm on for bi-polar. Being manic can have it's up side, esp in situations when I need to psyche myself up for something, like public speaking. I sometimes miss the dizzying highs and crashing lows and wonder if there's a way to get them back without all the problems that being bi-polar caused me.

I guess I don't like the trade off that I have to be more boring to be more sane.

[groovesinorbit]

That makes sense. And I can understand you not liking the trade-off. Is your dose too high, maybe? (not that I know much of anything about all this)

[wednes.livejournal.com]

No, it's doing what it's supposed to. It's job is to keep me from having mood swings, and it does that. I just sort of miss my mood swings. I also think they made me a better writer.

[groovesinorbit]

That's something I've wondered about medication for bi-polar--what else does it do besides even out the mood swings and does something get lost. I wonder if they could come up with a medication that evens things out, but doesn't numb the good stuff.
