Well I guess it has been about a week since my last post. This has been a bit of a tough week...I had my evaluation w/ the psychiatrist on Tuesday after being on the ADs for about a month. This is the first time I have seen her. Previously I saw my PCP and my therapist. The psychiatrist said that I have been taking half the minimum effective dose. But the good news is that I have had no bad reactions so we doubled that dose and I should see some results one of these days... but not for another 3-4 weeks. Argo and I had a great Rally class on Wednesday. The trainer was impressed with the improvements we had made since last time and we graduated to the intermediate class. We should start actually competing soon. On Wednesday night I was thinking that I should contact the breeder because I need to register him and I can't find my "Argo" paperwork. Well what do you know, first thing in the morning I have an e-mail from her! (We correspond about 2-3 times a year). She has a new litter and she was also letting me know about 2 other puppies/dogs looking for a home. One is almost Argo's age and looks really good. I think a friend for Argo would actually make my life a lot easier in some ways, since then I wouldn't be the center of his universe and he could have "someone else" to play with. I am told that 2 PWDs do a good job of wearing each other out. Anyway, that is in the works, tho will probably take a week or two to finalize.
I am having a weird problem with losing things. Like I said, I couldn't find Argo's paperwork. I have a folder, clearly marked "ARGO" and I thought I knew where it was. I have looked "everywhere" but can't find it. This is what happened with the library books! LOL! They did turn out to be on a shelf on a "wonky table" ...My files are all switched around since the re-organization of the office that we did this summer. I also can't find a nice silver chain...this has been missing for a while and is a little bit crazymaking. I got it at an estate sale and it is an interesting woven link pattern.
There was a little bit of anxiety all week as I was waiting to hear about the Coalinga job. Well, I didn't get it. Which is actually OK since I wasn't thrilled about that location. I am pretty sure in that case there was an insider already pegged for the job. My good friend says I should be encouraged by getting all these great interviews even though we are in a down economy. And it is true that the ones I actually interview for are good jobs that I am excited about. Just not cracking that final step that leads to an offer!
So I had been holding back on the temp agencies/head hunters but will start with them on Monday. *sheesh*
I have to say, going to work (even if it is only 2 days a week) LOL has helped with my mood and my feeling of productivity. I have been very productive on the job, plus I have been really helping people out with their technology/computer issues and that always gives me a boost.
Did spend the entire day on the couch yesterday. Read Lean, Mean Thirteen . I am not sure if I had a touch of the flu or not. Did feel a bit qeasy and not much appetite. This morning I seem to be fine.
Hope everyone has a great weekend and is enjoying the change of the season!
