Bf and i are looking at bigger apartments for later this year when our lease ends. I found a really nice one.

Our current apartment is 580 sq ft MAYBE. For $719.

I found one that is over 1,000 sq ft for only 100 dollars more. Well, $848.

Im really excited. We decided to get a second bedroom because we are currently using our VERY small dining space as an office. We also barely have any room for anything. This small apt is filled and i got a whole room full of stuff at my dads waiting to be sold or transferred here.

We are looking early cuz it looks like many apartments are booked and not available 1-2 months out or more. Itll probably be the same for later in the year.

Morning!
Finished work already. Just hanging out with the dogs now.

Just placed an ad for a math tutor. My daughter is sitting at a 63 right now. Her actual teacher is useless so I have to pay someone to teach her. I so wish I could afford private school. My daughter cried for 45 minutes before school this morning

. The teachers and admin suck and the kids really, really suck. She’s having a tough year with the “mean girls”.

ofthevalley · Feb 27, 2019 at 10:16 AM

So I emailed my daughters school for tutoring resources and surprise!...they don’t have any. WTF kind of school system is this?

ofthevalley · Feb 27, 2019 at 10:29 AM

Oooh boy...I have 10 FB messages already! I don’t know jack about hiring people.
I put in my post what I was willing to pay per hour. Requested references etc.
oh the pressure.

Hey everyone. How are things going today?

I'm okay. Pretty good I guess. Band was kinda meh. I was there and the band I'm in practiced...except the song(s) I am in weren't played. So I just sat there basically feeling forgotten. Then I am thinking of internships with university. That won't be for a while. But I can begin working on my CV in the meantime. That will help prepare for it. I need to feel useful towards myself.

The good news is tonight we may have some good aurora borealis activity. Preparing for that.

What's everyone up to?

Thank you

Sometimes being an adult sucks...
I had to correspond with my daughters math teacher (the one that said I was a “danger” to my children). To try to get my daughter a freaking math life preserver. I had to be “pleasant”. Do you know how hard that is? I won’t even tell you how I would have liked to have responded

. But I was good. I was polite, respectful, and totally left out the part about her being an utter failure as a teacher.
So proud.

I'm having lots of anxiety over applying to school, I don't know how I'll ever function tbh

Blue_Bird · Feb 27, 2019 at 07:33 PM

I'm wondering if I'm getting manic ...... I'm not sleeping much and

Possible trigger:

am wanting to buy liquor and drink a bunch and get high. I've been feeling extremely hypersexual , I'm sorry for the tmi. I feel ashamed about it. I just can't concentrate. I mean I'm glad I'm really happy and not depressed. I was like a zombie for a long time. But this is a little unusual. I haven't felt like this in several years.

Yeah I take it at night. It makes me really tired and I fall asleep but then I get up in the middle of the night and am up for the rest of the day. Went to sleep at 11 last night then woke up at 3am and stayed up, couldn't get back to sleep. It's been happening for a few days

Personally I’d call the pdoc first thing tomorrow. However if your mania isn’t dangerous I couldn’t blame you for riding it out. I don’t know if you get hit with depression afterward but it’ll take a while to get your mood stabilized you might want a med adjustment ASAP.....

I'm just trying to deal with it myself. I'm too ashamed to talk about certain symptoms with my doctor. I used to be very impulsive and did reckless/risky stuff many years ago when manic before I got stabilized. I heard a demon talking to me yesterday. I was worried maybe I was possessed or something but I haven't heard it today so that's good. I think I'm okay enough to not go do dumb/impulsive things as much as I want to. I'm not normally like that. I think things through, I'm generally a very logical person and think before I act, but I did a lot of stuff in my late teens early 20's that I really regret. I don't want that to happen again, I won't let it.

I guess I'll see how tonight goes. I'm gonna try to cope with it

If you’re going to ride it out try to avoid alcohol 🍷 as much as you can, it seems to make things worse for some people.

I second the idea about avoiding alcohol.
