He’ll decide when I can go back to work. On the one hand, I wouldn’t mind having a little extra time. My energy levels, while greatly improved, still have a ways to go. On the other hand, though, I’m out of leave time and have no guarantee of getting further donations of leave through the shared leave program. So obviously, I’ve been stressing myself out worrying about it *laughs*. I think I’ve put myself into a fibromyalgia flare, because I’ve been hurting all week, I’m not sleeping worth shit, and my IBS has been really mean to me this week. Well, I’ll see the doctor this morning and let him decide and leave the rest in the hands of the Gods.
In other news, Mark and I finally sat down with his mother and told her that she is really, really depressed, and that she had been for years, not just the last couple of months. She thinks that just because it’s only in the last month or two that she hasnt’ been able to cope that that is when the depression started *laughs*. But, we really got through to her. Mark and I both talked about our own experiences with depression and coping with abuse. Man, that woman’s life makes mine look like the Brady bunch. Being abandoned by her parents when they escaped from East Germany, left with an abusive grandmother, escaping East Germany herself just to have her parents send her back, escaping again after her brother was tortured to death by the KGB while she and her sister were listening to it, almost dieing of meningitis, marrying an alcoholic, paranoid, narcissitic,sociopathic schizophrenic, escaping from that with her 3 kids, then marrying a total narcissist that she waited on hand and foot who eventually left her for another woman. Let me tell you, if anyone has a right to be depressed it’s this woman. And we told her that. So she promised she’s going to talk to her doctor this week about meds. She wouldn’t promise anything about therapy, but I think once she’s on meds that work, she’ll be able to cope better with the thought of working out some of her issues. She’s really a sweetheart of a woman and deserves to let herself be happy.
Other than that, not much happening. Mark and I have been playing a lot of Shards of Dalaya and thoroughly enjoying ourselves. They haven’t trivialized the low end game like EQ, so it’s a lot of fun starting new characters. I’ve got a druid/warrior combo who are 22/19 respectively. If anyone joins, look for Marydale and Marybell.
