Adventures in La La Land

I haven't felt like blogging lately. Probably another sign I need to stop decreasing my meds. Blech. I'll regret it if I skip two weeks in a row, though, so let's see what I can muster up . . . (You're excited to read on now, aren't you?!) 1. I finished my winter semester of college classes this week. I had a 100% in all three of my classes for the majority of the semester because all of the assignments were subjective - essays, discussion board responses, etc. Once I had to answer objective questions with a clear right or wrong answer on the final exam, my grades slipped a little. It's pretty tragic . . . I have a couple weeks off before my final semester begins. I'm not really looking forward to the last few classes I have to take - mainly math and early childhood development. But I just have to pass, right? C's get degrees! 2. I went back to my regular schedule of only working on Mondays this week. I miss parts of the job, but it was nice to have so m

1. Tomorrow marks one month since I reduced my depression meds from 150 mg a day to 100 mg. I didn't notice any difference when I dropped from 200 to 150 a couple months ago, and I didn't originally notice anything with the next 50 mg either . . . until this week. I've definitely been more irritable than usual, and I've been plagued with restlessness. I am constantly bored, but nothing entertains me. I don't want to watch tv, I don't want to read, I don't want to play the same dumb games on my phone over and over, I don't want to scroll through facebook. I just want to eat and sleep. I actually got out some puzzles this week to try and still my restlessness. And I took on the huge project of cleaning/organizing the very deep/awkward closet under the stairs. But as soon as I'm done, I'm bored again. I'm really hoping it's not because of the meds. I want to be done with them! I was going to drop to 50 mg this week, but I think I'll hold

1. We started this week by celebrating Levi's 6th birthday. On Sunday after church we had family over for pizza, cake, and presents.  Remember how I was busy last week so I asked Justin to take Levi to pick out a cake? Apparently Levi wanted an oreo cake, but not a round one, and he wanted his name on it. So this was the compromise. 😂 Feeling a little nervous/shy about everyone singing to him.  Traditional morning birthday display. The next morning, on his birthday, he actually slept in his bed all night and was still asleep when I got up to get ready, so he got to have breakfast in bed! I think that's a first for him.  Birthday crown and cookie at school Finally, time to unwrap presents! One of his favorite presents was this one: a train that spits out dominoes as it drives. The best part? I got it at Once Upon's 90% off sale months ago for 45 cents! Lol Dinner of his choice: McDonald's. #dreambig Still my baby when he's sleeping. 😍😭 2. I had my second 4-day wor
