I just don’t talk to myself enough.  Gee, I wonder if I could convice my therapist of that? LOL

Well, I saw the doctor today.  She wouldn’t listen to the Serenity information, just not something she was equipped to hear.  She is taking me off Effexor, though, and starting me on Lexapro.  I hate to be non-compliant, but if the Lexapro doesn’t work, that’s what I’m going to have to be.

Five more days and my honey will be back here for Round Two.  I hope I can get the place a bit cleaner before she gets here, I didn’t know that she thought it was a wreck until we talked last night.  Cindie is really worried about not being able to take care of me if her back goes out on her, and it’s not fair that she should have to.  I can do it myself.  Same for cooking, she seems to think that I’m incapable of doing so, and it’s just not true.  OK, so part of the problem is that she’s used to having to DO everything for her men, and feels she is not worth much unless she is doing that.  But I should have done more to make my place livable so she wouldn’t have had to feel so much that way. 

I got the music finished for “Columbia”, and sent it off to Lee Gold at Xenofilkia.  Had to write it up in two different programs, one did a good job of placing the chords and another the lyrics… hope I can get the money to register one or the other, and get rid of the shareware crippling features.  It’s not my best tune, especially the verse, because I had to keep ducking the tune of “Memorial” by Anne Harlan Prather, which was going through my head the whole time I was writing it.  But it’s done.

My fish, Byte, is doing swimmingly.  I’ve had him for almost 3 years now, I have no idea how long I can expect him to live.  He’s a betta.  He is very attentive, although he does not like to be petted.  I do a fair job of taking care of him, and he does an excellent job of staying alive, even when I go away for a long weekend.

CERES meeting tonight.  Have to print out the Minutes of the last meeting.  We’re doing pretty well, and I’m very glad to be a part of it.  NAMI CARE tomorrow night, it will be good to see Chim again.

I guess that’s it for now, talk to me later.
