Journal Entry for November 9, 2007 Mood
Friday, November 9, 2007

Things have happened so fast!  I start work on Wednesday.  I'm super excited about the job - it's exactly what I would have created for myself if I had the chance.  But at the same time I'm really dreading it...the commute is over an hour, then there will be an eight or ten hour day, and then I'll have to drive home.  Now, while unemployed, I am able to put in a good six hours of productivity daily - on whatever excites me at the moment - before I literally crash.

So I've made an appointment with the doc for tomorrow to talk about SSRI's.  Dr. Oz's book "You: Staying Young" explains in pretty great detail what happens to you when you're depressed: your body quits creating serotonin, so you stop sleeping well (or suffer from night terrors!), and your memory is shot.  I'm really hoping that zoloft or something similar can give me the leg up I need to get back to normal.  Maybe it can even help me build a better memory than I've had since my Dad got really sick....is that too much to ask?  Tongue out

 The last few days have been a frenzy of cleaning and repairs in my condo.  I've arranged for a real estate agent to come and let me know what major repairs need to be done, because the new job will mean a new city.....as soon as I get tired of the commute!

Hope you are all well and enjoying your weekends!!

Christy
