Hi Mystic,
You did aerobics? Wow! I think every joint would be creaking and cracking if I did aerobics now! Lol! How about yoga instead?
Let's see....3 things good about my day:
1. My kitty escaped out into the apartment complex hallway, and I got him back before anyone saw him (and me in my jamies at that!!!)
2. It is a nice rainy day today, and it is fun to people-watch the miserable pedestrians! Lol!
3. I'm sitting here with a hot mug of chocolate coffee. Ahhhhhhhhh.......
I hope you are having a wonderful day yourself!!
(((Mystic)))

I'll write more later, I'm also training a new recruiter this week so my time's sort of limited. Just wanted to say HI and you both sound so well!!!!

Mystic,
I hope you realize that you've now made the list to be 5 answers required. You little stinker!
Okay, here's trying....
1. Again, I have my mug of chocolate coffee steaming beside me (my morning pleasure!)
2. Having the friendships of Mystic, PartlyCloudy (PartyCloud to those of us in the know!), and LynneDa to help keep me grounded! Thank you.
3. Being able to watch the wonders of nature, such as long shadows in the late afternoon.
4. Having movies and books delivered by the Library to my home since I can't get there myself.
5. Having two more days entirely to myself before my son comes back home from vacation with his grandparents. Ahhh, the sounds of silence!!!
Okay, stinker, I managed to list 5! Lol!
And your favorite show is Big Brother? I've never watched it, but I'm REALLY enjoying The Amazing Race.
Hugs,
Sandy

Hi Mystic,
I had been posting here for a bit:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/social/20040706/msgs/366681.html
Now I'm going to try and live in the moment. I'm going to try and not project into the future (which, I have to admit, seems pretty bleak to me), and I'm going to try and steer clear of the past.
Ugh, I'm not sure how well I'll do with this...but I guess if I can stick around long enough for my kids to grow up, then I've achieved an INCREDIBLE success.
Okay, our 5 for the day:
1. I quit attending the sessions with my "team". It was pointless.
2. I've asked to be removed from the Day Treatment Program that starts next month. It would have been pointless due to my bleak future. Just stupid.
3. I went to a different doctor at the University, instead of the lady who doesn't like me, and got a refill for my Seroquel. Not very pleased with the med (doesn't seem to help me sleep much), but I'd rather have it than not have it.
4. I ate HALF a chocolate pudding cake last night with my daughter!!!! I thought I was going to EXPLODE!!!!
5. Received an email yesterday from the cop who was here the night I slit my wrist wide open. (Nice of him to contact me again after we bumped into each other on the street recently). I don't know. Maybe this helps me not be so freaked out over the countless cops I saw over that short time period. Over-kill!!
Sorry to be "down" today. I just feel like I've been cycling since getting out of the hospital. I have one messed-up little brain.

We had a phone call today from one of the officers that was at my apartment. He was one of the "angels", if you remember those two from April.
He is going to pick Carly up tomorrow (in his cop car, no less!! Lol!) and drive her over to the horse stables. Then she will get to work with another officer and the police horse!!! They will drive her back home later in the day.
Carly is sooooo excited that her hands were shaking! Lol! I think I'm just as excited as she is!!! WooHoo!!!!! I am so thankful that this officer kept Carly in his thoughts after all this time. This is the most wonderful gift that he could have given her!!!!
Hey, I don't feel freaked out by the cops anymore. *smile* God keeps talking to me, you know?
Hugs to all,
Sandy

First of all - it really is wonderful to see you posting here again.
Secondly, does that mean that Carly gets the Good Cop? And horse stables - that is so wonderful to be able to see. I used to drive past the State Police stables every day to work and loved to see those beautiful animals.
And last of all - Sandy, I'm very serious here. I know you have opted out of the team and their mighty plans for you. Are you doing this one day at a time instead? One foot in front of the other? You must promise us all - cross your heart just like those bras that only fit pointy boobed women - that if that freakin' veil comes floating your way, you'll either
ask for help yourself, or
ask us for help, and
you won't pretend that everything is hunky dory when it isn't.
And the only reason I'm making these rules is because I love you.

Hey PartyCloud (hee!),
I'll let you know how it goes with the police tomorrow. We had already been told by another cop that it was impossible for a civilian to work with the police horse due to liability issues. I'm so thankful that cops still have a certain amount of leeway in making decisions. Yippee for Carly!!!
I have some books being delivered from the library tomorrow. Maybe we'll be able to do that "reading club" this time around. I'll let you know later, in the Books section, what items arrived.
Thanks for being so loving.
Sandy

I'm not doing great. But you know what I did? I called my "team", and I've got an appointment for Tuesday afternoon. I have no idea what to talk about, but I know that I need to know that I'm not hoofing it alone. It was rather scary to cut the cord from my "team".
I'm up and down so many times a day. When I'm up I'm optimistic, and when I'm down I'm suicidal. And I'm freaking out! I don't feel stable at all. So I don't know what the appointment will do for me (might actually make it worse!), but at least I know I've got them. Right?
Why am I bouncing around so much? I can't do it alone, so it's good to know that I don't have to. But my mind's going to be my own un-doing! Ugh.
1. Carly got to ride in a cop car today!!
2. Carly spent a few hours working with another cop and the horses.
3. We are having yummy chicken tonight for supper.
4. "The Jury" is on tv tonight. I like this new show.
5. It wasn't nearly as humid today, although the cop who picked up Carly was having a difficult time wearing his vest. Lol!!

Sandy, thank you for making another appointment with the team. Your ups and downs are absolutely terrifying, and you are doing the right thing in going back to them next week. If they sound like they are going too fast for you with that timeline thing, you are the person in control. You already know that they can't make you do something you don't want to do (or aren't ready to do). Did you show them that document you posted here and sent to me? I can't remember, thanks to meds.
Carly's day sounds really cool! And she gets to have a yummy chicken dinner! It's quite amazing that you can do that when you are feeling so badly.
hugs to you - and was the cop cute?

Mystic and PartyCloud,
Guess I messed up. No surprise. Like I said, I'm not very thick skinned.
I'll let you know how my appointment on Tuesday goes. I'm going to step away from Babble for a bit. I could KICK myself for just wanting to cry and cry and cry. Sorry guys.

Yikes. You know how I was given an emergency appointment for this Tuesday? Well, the crisis unit phoned on Friday to confirm....and then they just called again today (Sunday). And it was the same nurse! I feel like they are checking up on me to see if they can ascertain how I'm doing from my voice. Now I'm freaked that they may be getting a bed ready for me!!
Well, if I don't post on Tuesday, you know what happened. And I'm really uncomfortable about this appointment too. I feel so unstable, and I'm scared they will know.
We shall see. Well, if I get put in the hospital again, at least I won't have to be making supper every night!! Lol!! It's nice to have restaurant-style food for every meal!
Have a great day!
Sandy

((((Sandy)))) please don't be afraid to let them know exactly how they're doing. They won't hurt you, but they can't help you if you put on the Brave Sandy face and glibly accept their "plan", even though you feel you're completely unprepared to take it on right now.
In the meantime, post or email us. We're right here for you.

Well, the computer gremlins have been busy visiting my pooter. I have NO idea what happened, but I seem to have lost my Outlook Express. It's still there (all the components are there), but it won't load certain components anymore. DANG!!!!! I have Norton anti-virus, and I do NOT open attachments. I even ran a full scan, and went to Microsoft and reloaded a new Outlook Express. Still FRIED!!! Argh!
I've transferred all my group mail to my hotmail address, but I can't get my personal mail. Boo hoo!!! If anyone sent me a message, you can reach me at sandyweb65 at hotmail dot com.
Jeepers, I even reloaded the entire Windows 98 version that I have!! What the heck happened??
Boy, do I ever hate reading my emails at hotmail. Not the best entertainmnet to see girls' belly-buttons and people smooching when I'm trying to read. *smile*
Enjoy your evening!
Sandy
