sooooooo! this weekend was awesome! allow me to re-cap.
friday i went to a new doc and i feel really confident that i'm finally going to get the help i need. HALLELUJAH!!!
later that evening brett "picked me up" for a date.. we went to the newly relocated bangkok thai and it was pretty damn tasty aside from some grittiness, i'm assuming they didn't rinse something well enough. after dinner we were trying to decide on a calm, chill coffee shop to hang out at and knit. (yes, knit) we ended up at alchemy which was awesome! we walked in and i noticed that this guy had his spinning table all set up, so i asked "show tonight?", to which he responded with a "yes" and an odd look on his face. i paid no mind and ordered a large mocha for brett and a large jasmine tea for myself.. we planted ourselves down on a comfy couch and starting knitting away... about a half hour into this loveliness, some people started to show up, then more people, then more.. soon the place was PACKED... needless to say, we were clueless as to what was going on.. finally, i ask this guy sitting near us what the hell was going on... GALLERY STROLL. oh! go figure. soon after that we left to hang out at home. overall, it was a lovely date indeed.
saturday was lazy. i went to bronlyn's for a bit to hang out and help with christmas decorations... good times with one of my very favorite people. it's amazing what a little girl time can do to lift one's spirits. later that night we headed over to keaton and ethan's place for some good hang out time and dinner... that ethan can seriously cook.. it was a really good time.
sunday was yet again another very lazy day. we eventually got out of the house and got dinner with my younger brother. if you've not experienced the joy of a lemon chicken sammich from B&D you're missing out. i highly recommend it. after dinner i headed to my friend, katie's, and the boys headed back home. hung out with katie for a couple hours which is always such good quality time.
today, i'm having one of the best mornings i've had in a LONG time.. good enough that brett even commented on it.
.......and, i had an epiphany this weekend. memories that i've always related to one person or another don't have to stay that way.... this is something i've always struggled with.. like i NEEDED to keep a memory specific to one person. well, i realized i can keep those memories while still building new ones without feeling like i'm encroaching on my past. it may sound silly, but this realization has lifted a lot of weight from my shoulders.
i know i'm still going to have some hard days, it's simply the way it goes... but i'm going to document the good days as best i can so that i might look back and remember: i'm not always crazy and i can be very happy with little effort.
thank god for optimism.

Were you still seeing Bushnell, or have you been seeing someone else? We need to get Tom back in to adjust some meds.
i went to see a new doc - dr. carmella javellana. she does meds and therapy. i think it was a good thing to get another doctor's point of view. she came really highly recommended by someone who has a pretty heavy history of this kind of stuff....
oh yeah, and i have seen bush recently, but i'm in need of direction/therapy to fix old problems, which bush doesn't do. he's a great guy, but our patient/doctor relationship probably isn't what it should be after seeing him for so long... make sense? i dig this new doc because she's extremely open minded, she's an md, she's kind of holistic, and she's very eastern thought-ish. she leads meditation at the buddhist temple on 1st s and 2nd w.
I am so glad that you had a great weekend- and found a new doc! And I must say that I like the idea of documenting more positive happenings as a reminder that things aren't always as bad as we pretend they are.
i loved reading this. . . especially you and brett out for pleasant tea turned gallery stroll.
and about memories, how we can experience certain events with different people, that experiences don't have to be person specific. i've struggled with that quite a bit, and still do, so it was helpful to hear of your epiphany.
