Lily is up and watching cartoons before school and Steffi is asleep of course. the cats are running around acting like they own the place.

Life With Doreen

Steffi came home from Sydney - she got her photo taken with John Edwards and will post it tommorow - and Lily went off her face about 3 times. Lily is driving me up the wall completely at the moment! my meds are definately not working!

got my shoes and clothes for work experience at the nursing home - start next week. so at least got something done today. wish my depression would take a hike and go into remission or something though as it's driving me batty

home again

been to my course today - Melissa actually came (shock horror!!!!!) and had words with her this morning about yesterday. feel much better now!

anyway it's halloween and my nana's anniversary. am watching horror movies tonight with Steffi and her friend Nicole. Lily's sleeping at nan's which is good

glad today is almost over

boy I'm pissed at Melissa who didn't bother going to the course today so I had to organise a different way to get there. she's supposed to be going tommorow - maybe if she feels like it!

got all the shopping done so that's something!

am feeling really depressed tonight and just want to crawl into a dark hole and stay there forever. this whole week of people being sick and the cat dying has really taken it out of me. my meds are not working and it's annoying. if I could get out of going to the course tommorow I would.

mine are just chilling out and spending time with the kids. lawn needs mowing but it can wait till during the week.

there was a really bad storm on the way home from Parkes yesterday and there was lightning everywhere. one bit of lightning just missed hitting the car windscreen which was scary.

was dreary at my course yesterday as we were doing chapter 4 and it's about death and dying and brought back memories I'd rather not think about but apart from that it was a pretty good week from Wednesday on.

we started daylight savings here on Saturday night and it's messing with my sleep! it's made me grumpy cause I'm missing one hour of sleep - who thought one hour would make so much difference?

Al least it's only a month till my doctors appointment so that's something! Am gonna get my meds increased cause I feel like a nut case lately. Believe me my friends think I've been a nutter too - they tell me so!

If I wasn't doing my aged care course I wouldn't go out of the house at all I don't think. All I want to do is be alone and even get annoyed with the kids in the loungeroom - that's just dumb of me.

this depression is ruling the roost here and it's really pissing me off. anyone got any ideas?

I have to force myself to go out, do the housework, be civil to people, etc, etc and it's just not natural to live such a depressing life like this. Dunno what I'll do if it gets any worse - punch a pillow I guess!

went to the funeral today and it was so sad. John (Teena's husband) and the kids were so upset. gave them big hugs.

the course went well today - handed in two assessments this morning and passed them both which is good! am enjoying having Rosemary and Jan in my class - we hit it off the first day and we get along like we've been mates for years!

Steffi's cooking sausage stew for tea and it smells yummy and is almost ready which is good cause I'm starving!
