Susan! Susan!! Susan!!!
I am sick and tired of Susan. I need a break and I'm sure she needs a break, too.

And - YAY! - I have been sewing. I made a skirt to wear to church with Dad and to work (maybe). I still need to hem it but it is reversable and I will probably make another. and I finally finished the applique block and the lilac block. So now I can move on to the next blockes on those quilts.

So, Susan, has colitis and has been having lots of issues. Last weekend, the doctor did another colonoscopy and found a polyp. The polyp was not there a few months ago when she got out of Valley Hospital. Her doctor also took several samples since she is having this recur. Then on Tuesday she called and told him she still had a large amount of pain in her upper left abdomen. So on Wednesday they did an endoscopy and the verdict it gastritis. So now she has another reason to quit smoking. Any takers on a bet for that happening?

Happy Birthday, Dad!

I am a little more than half way through this cycle and I still am not having consistant lucid dreams. Not only that but Susan is sick and not able to work right now. The doctor did another colonoscopy and found a polyp. the polyp was removed and several sampler were taken.

BUT ... drumroll please ... I did get some sewing done.

Susan has been home the whole entire week. Last night when I got home I told her I needed a break and went upstairs. I was able to get some of that stuff done on the computer that I needed to. Now I can take it to Goodwill. As it turns out, it is not that difficult to remove a hard drive.

To top it all off, I am noticing a connection between sugar and hot flashes. *!?&@-

And a good thing to report. Earlier, I had made arrangements to meet with an old friend last Sunday. I really had a good time. Her name is Liz and I first met her when my family moved to Idaho. I was in the 5th grade. I hated that we had moved to Idaho. I hated that I had to take a bus instead of walking around the corner and down the street. I hated that my body was changing and had started my cycle. I hated getting a beauty mark. I really hated a lot of things. and Liz was one of the other students that was nice to me. She was friendly and happy and smart. I liked her.

I am pretty much a complete failure. It's like evertime I do something for me or something that takes me away from Susan she has a complete meltdown. Yesterday, her colitis was flaring up so she stayed home. She called me to come home about 2:30. When I got there she was laying down on the couch. I made her sit up and there she was rocking back and forth, crying, saying she felt like she was in a hole, holding the hem of her skirt. OMG!

And I failed. I failed to take her to the hosiptal. I failed to call 911 to take her to the hospital. She did manage to calm down and eat. But I failed on a grand scale. Hugely. Enormous.

Had some really fun dreams a few nights ago. I am still working on getting my lucid dreams back. And I did have a semi-lucid dream last week. As I was waking up I realized I was dreaming. But it was not the realization of the dream state that woke me up. It was my regular wake up time.

One again, I am comeing up to the idea of givingup. This is the tough part of living with someone that is depressed. And it doesn't help any that I am also depressed.

The reception desk is much busier these days. I haven't had 8 calls on hold yet but it is much busier than a few months ago.

My therapy does seem to be working. My emotions are not as down as they were. The prozac and desipramine seem to be working. But I think I have had enough of this "hot" thing.

So, we have had a temp receptionist for a week. She seems to be working out. I know that part of her pay is going to the temp agency. If she stays long enough it might become a permanent position. I guess I could always hope.

YES! We have a temp receptionist. This makes me so HAPPY!
