I don’t want to complain.
Just know there’s things I want to complain about, but I won’t.
I will tell you that Cody GOT! A! JOB! for the summer. And I think that means I can now tell you that I secretly hid and complained about this whole process last fall. I will also tell you that he made it onto the Executive Board for Law Review. He explained his duties to me but all I heard was “I’m going to be very busy next year blah blah.”
I have wonderful friends both in the computer and down the street. The medication I’ve started taking seems to be doing it’s job (this is a first for me). I’m not out of the dark yet, but I’m definitely moving forward.
It may even be sunny today for the first time in weeks.
BRING ON THE VITAMIN D.
The last time I did this it really lifted my wintry spirits.
I want to hear the best thing that happened to you over the last week. Anything at all. Brag it up. Even if it was only a perfect piece of toast, I want to know about it.
Thanks.

Congratulations to Cody on Law Review!!! That’s HUGE!!! Glad your meds are working — I understand the darkness & despair that comes around. Know you most definitely are not alone.
Now, the best thing that happened? Actually two: 1- we had both a snow day AND a two hour delay which almost never happens and 2- my sister-in-law finally said she isn’t going to the beach with us next weekend!!! [not as mean as it sounds—-she has major issues & is mean to my daughter], Hope you have a great day and the sun shines down on you in bucketfuls!!

Yeah for both of you! Brandon told me about the law review – congrats to Cody and the job too, that’s great. If you are like me if the husband is successful, it makes the wife less stressed.
I’m happy to hear spirits are up. You know we all are praying for you (well maybe except those who are not religious).
This week my husband has been studying in the same room with me at night and it has cheered me up immensely.

I’m glad you’re on the way to feeling better…this weekend I can tell you the best thing that happened was that both days when the kids napped…SO DID I!!! I had an hour and half nap on Saturday, and a 2 and a half hour nap on Sunday, both days snuggled with my kids. Sad that it was the highlight of my weekend, but there you have it! 🙂

Congrats!! I know how you hate to be alone but it will all payoff someday. I keep telling myself that (January to April for how many years?). The best thing that happened to me in the last week was ( and don’t think I am nuts), I taught photography at the Boy Scout Merit Badge Pow-wow. I know you wonder why me with no qualifications. I think the only qualification I had was saying “Yes”. I know “Stupid” stenciled on my forehead but its been there for years. It was probably hard to find people who would teach. As you know I do have lots of examples of what not to do but I also had some great shots from you and your mom I could use as great examples. I even had a few great examples of my own. I taught three classes of 16 boys each. I really think they enjoyed the class because there was no goofing around and talking instead of listening (But maybe my reputation proceeded me as well). They all said they would come back for the next two weekends to finish up. Got to go. Kiss my grandbaby for me. Love ya, Mom in Vernal
