End of the Month

This month really sped by. I'm not sure what I even did during most of it. I know it snowed. I know we got the new stuff into the house. That's about it. I need to make some calls and talk to some people.

One of the calls I have scheduled is my next doctor's appointment. We'll be talking on the 11th about my progress with my mental health. I think things are going better, but I still have some concerns I want to bring up to her.

Overall, January wasn't bad this year. Hopefully, February will be better.

A Busy Day

Our furniture was delivered! It's very nice and taller than we expected. My roommate is tall and long-legged, so the higher furniture is good for him.

It was A LOT to make this happen. We had to save up the money for it and then wait about two months for it to actually get here. Then there was the process of moving the old stuff out and the new stuff in. Thankfully we had people to help with that. 

Anyway, I'm very pleased. The old couch was in ruins and no one was comfortable on it. The old chair was just about to the point of never sitting up well anymore. Now both are replaced and look very nice.

I am kind of sad that the old furniture is gone. Both pieces were bought by my grandmother and now that's more of her things out of the house. I still have the blanket chest, the clock, and the big mirror though. I'm happy I have those with me. 

Quietly Frozen

I found out today that I'm going to have to wait another six months on stuff with my dad. That's annoying and I have no idea why it's happening. It is though. This is taking forever. 

Our furniture is supposed to be here on Thursday. I'm guessing that will be delayed again as well. I get that there is snow and frozen conditions and it's affecting things, but it's still very frustrating. 

I just wish something positive would happen. I need something positive to happen. 

Annoying Winter

It wasn't supposed to snow. If snow had been forecast, we would have gotten more supplies. It wasn't though, so we didn't. 

And yet, it could start snowing at any moment. I hate winter for this kind of thing.

Moving Along

 The month is moving along. Things are moving faster than it feels like they should. The days seem to be speeding by and I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because of what will happen on the 20th. If things play out the way they did last time, things will slow after he's in office again.

I'm still sick. My nose isn't clearing up and I'm still aching. I never seem to get enough sleep. It's supposed to get really cold again this weekend. I'm sure that won't do anything for my illness. It's possibly going to snow but I hope it doesn't because our furniture is (in theory) supposed to be here early next week. 

Still Snowy

The snow is starting to melt but it's still there. After as many inches as we had, I'm not shocked that it's taking a long time to go away. Oh. And then we'll be having more snow in less than ten days. This is so annoying.

Also still annoying: I'm still sick. I'm better than I was, but my nose is still a snot factory and I'm still coughing a lot. This needs to be over with soon. 

I think maybe my meds are starting to work because I don't feel as emotionally horrible as I have for a while. It's still early days on that though. We'll see in a few weeks. 

Over It

It hasn't snowed yet but I'm already over it. 

We went shopping today so we wouldn't have to deal with it during the snow. Of course, everyone else had this idea as well and the stores were crowded and rather lacking in items to purchase. We got everything we could possibly need. Devices are charged in case the power goes out. 

I'm still sick and snotty. My roommate isn't doing a lot better. Hopefully the snow will melt quickly and we can go back to our normal (such as they are) lives.

Appointment

Talked to my medical provider today about how I was adjusting to the new depression med. She upped my dosage and then told me to take Vitamin D. We'll see if it helps. Hopefully, it will. I'm really tired of feeling horrible all of the time. 

It's possible we could get the new furniture in tomorrow, but probably not likely. I wish they would have just told us it was going to be 6-9 weeks or something instead of telling us two weeks and then edging us off into a month plus. That's really annoying.

Also annoying: I'm still sick. I'm to that place where my skin is irritated because I've blown my nose so many times. My chest and back hurt because of the coughing. I really dislike how sickness damages you.

Even more irritating: It's really cold. This means the constant dripping of water from the sinks and possibly snow later in the week. Ugghh. 

I would say I'm more of a summer person, but we all know I'm not.

I would say I'm more of a Fall/Spring person but I'm not that either. I'm just not designed for living, I think.

Winter Woes

This is going to be a lot of me complaining. I'm sick. My nose is a mess and my throat hurts. I'm also achy and I just generally feel awful. 

It's supposed to get really cold this week and it could snow. I won't be going out in the snow so we'll have to switch days on when we go to the store. Snow is always stressful because the water situation in my town gets a bit dire. I'm not looking forward to this.

I have a doctor's appointment on Monday. It's just a follow-up about my medication and if it's working. It isn't and hopefully, we'll be able to get it sorted out this time.  I'm worried that it'll take longer though. I'm not sure what the next step would be.

Anyway, I'm sick and not looking forward to this week. 

First Day 2025

I'm really tired and my feet hurt. I had a lot of pain the first day of the year. I really hope that isn't a sign this year will be full of pain. I need a good year. We all do.

I'm not making resolutions. I have plans of things I want to do, but we'll see how they go. Mostly I'm just going to try to continue to exist. One of my friends was talking about how grief isn't a straight line and that's very true. 

So anyway, yeah. The holidays are over. I'm tired. I really hope that things are okay this year. I really need them to be.
