I'm so excited!  I don't think I'm manic...I hope I'm not manic.  I worked 3 REALLY busy days in a row and I did it and this is good because I usually become super manic afterwards and this time I don't think that I am.  The great thing about this is that I think I am still getting stronger and better all the time.  It has been 3 whole years since that full-blown manic episode that really screwed me up and I am still getting better from it.  Isn't that crazy?  That is a long time to recover from something.  I told my manager that I can work up to 7 hrs per shift, but no more than that.  8 hrs is still too hard.  Errr...I want to just work lots n lots and just tell her that I will work whatever she wants, but I am still limited a little.  It's ok...maybe I will get there.

I have lost a total of 11 lbs since I started dieting and exercising!  YAY!

We have a huge shower with four shower heads in it and about a week and a half ago I slipped in it and fell.  I was washing one foot and like an idiot I was hopping around on the other and I stepped in something slippery like conditioner and I ended up hitting my head on this tile bench that we have in the shower.  I hit it hard!!!!!!!  It knocked me silly is the only way to describe it.  So I didn't go to the ER until 2 days later when my head started hurting worse and worse and I was dizzy, off balance and having trouble sleeping.  I found out I have a concussion and it can take up to 2 weeks before the symptoms go away.  Well, it has really started feeling better now, but had to take 4 days off from work when it was bad.  All I wanted to do was rest my head PLUS I had a sinus infection and that only made matters worse.

So I finally found a church that I love!  I tried going to the early service and then go to work at 11 and it was awful...I was SO exhausted!  My manager understands how easily exhausted I get so she wasn't surprised.  Well I was bummed out because I really want to start going to church, but now I know that I can not go to church early and then work a 6 hour day afterwards.  So I prayed about this and I finally got enough nerve to talk to my manager and ask her if I could possibly go to the later service and then come in to work at 1 instead of 11.  She told me that we could probably work something out.  She told me that she would work with me so that makes me so happy!
