Long time...

Yes, I'm still alive. I'm sitting here listening to the wind whip the ice and snow off of the trees onto the roof. Yup, I said ice and snow. It's April gosh darnit!!! Winter weather adivisory on the first weekend of April. Hello??!! I live in NE!! Where is spring???!!!
I'm doing much better. The meds are working and I start therapy soon. My job might actually turn around. They are forming a technical support group with a new hire to be my supervisor. That will help my situation A LOT!! I think this job could turn into the job I thought I was getting when I got hired. I'm excited. So school is on the back burner for now. It's always an option but if this job can turn around, I might actually like it there.
I'm branching out and getting a life without Dan. I kind of made him my world since we moved out here and that's not healthy. I need my own friends and time to be away from him. I relied on him to create my social life and I hid behind him when making friends. It was always "Dan & Jane" not "Just Jane". Will & Grace just popped into my head "Just Jack". Anyway, I'm getting friends at work and going out with them. It's fun and I find I'm not so lonely. Still miss my family though.
On Monday I had 2 crowns seated without novacaine. Well, that was the most fun I've had in a while. NOT!! Getting air and water blown on exposed roots should be considered as a form of torture. I almost jumped out of my skin!
I am still taking ballroom classes with Dan. We have 30 group lessons to attend still, so we'll be at it for quite some time. I like it. It's fun and gets us out of the house. We have both decided to quit drinking for a while. I should anyway bc of the meds. We'll try and find other ways to amuse ourselves. Games, cards, puzzles... there's plenty to do.
It sucks having to admit to being grown up when all of our friends are at least 4-5 years younger than me. That's why work friends are cool. More my age and more in common. We can have intelligent discussions and not drink our faces off. Wow, adult friends. Big step.
I'm getting excited to go visit Pi and family at the end of the month. Warm weather and little nieces. Who could ask for anything more?
Well, gonna go watch a movie and wait for Dan to get off of work. Typical Sunday for me. Fingers crossed that no big branches fall off the trees onto the house. Next weekend looks WAY better. Temps in the 60s. Finally! I'll try and update more and things unfold. Here's to better mental health for all!
