Bad day for all my plans...

Damn! Today sucked.

I had an appointment with a psychiatrist on Friday....except she suddenly went on unannounced leave. So I'll have to reschedule for a long time from now (~3wks or so)...I have an appointment with a nurse practitioner instead who can hopefully help me out with my medication.

Not only that...the company that offered me a VERY lucrative job called me back and told me that they're freezing hiring until "further notice" (i.e. whenever we feel like it)...probably at least mid-January. And I thought I was ready to start a really cool new position...

Expectations just don't work out sometimes.

Some times our expectations dont work out but I believe every thing happens for a reason. :)

Oh man...sometimes after I finish an episode of Dexter, I want to enter hibernation until next Sunday to see the next episode.

What a great episode of such a wonderful show...

Something to think about..you can always see the psychiatrist on campus at last notice if need be - and its covered under your student med fees so its free.

I think it was a death in the family or something. I have a wacky appointment set up with a nurse practitioner who can prescribe antidepressants.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
