I think there must be some signifigance to the time 12:34...it doesn't matter if it's am or pm. For the last few years, but mostly the last few months I notice that I almost consistently every day look at the clock at this time. I feel like there is a reason for it. I tried looking at all the Bible verses that were passage 12 verse 34, I also looked at all that were passage 1, verses 23-4, or maybe it was passage 12 verse 3-4...I can't even remember...but so far nothing stands out. It's starting to bother me. Alpha was good tonight. I had a good time. The food was lovely, the atmospher was lovely, the fellowship was lovely, so why am I feeling like Eeyore tonight... The fact it's over shouldn't be bothering me yet. I will see mostly everyone on Dec 2 for a celebration dinner. I really don't know. Maybe it's because I've had to add a new med, but really that shouldn't be bothering me yet at this point either. I've only had one dose...it hasn't had a chance to impact my life yet or annoy me in any way. In fact I feel relieved to be on a med to try and see if that helps my symptoms.I'm getting my hair cut and styled all nicely tomorrow so I really should be excited but I'm not overly. It just feels like another chore that I've added to my list of things to do. I know I shouldn't be drinking anything alcoholic but I just feel like I needed to do something and that seemed better then cutting. It's not like I'm planning to have much...just a glass or two. Then to bed I will go.Maybe I'm just headed for a down phase because things in my family have settled down to a little less chaotic level and I actually have time to process stuff. I never had time really to grieve the loss of my brother-in-laws dad, I never had time to accept that my brother-in-law needs open heart surgery, or that my aunt has breast cancer, or that I may/may not have a life changing illness, or that those kitties that I loved so much are really gone. I still look for them every time I leave my place or come home. I just can't help it. I noticed someone still has a water dish out for them. *sigh* If I knew who put it out I would take it back to them so I wouldn't have to see them. I was getting ready for bed and couldn't help think that although I do have friends that over the last few years I've lost the ability to be silly and just relax and have a good time with them. I haven't had that kind of a friendship since my best friend moved away 7 years ago. We've seen each other once since then since she's about a 20+ hour drive away and neither of us have vehicles. She flew down last summer to see me. I will be going to see her in 2009 as I'm her maid of honor in her wedding. But I miss having friends that I can just be silly and stupid with. I feel bad that I don't know how to be like that anymore. Isn't it amazing how much crap one person can think of in a few short hours. I appologize for a depressing entry but I think it's important to get this stuff outta my head. Just out so that hopefully I don't dwell on these things too long.God gives us strength to move on...right...

Yes God gives us strength to move on and he wont give us more than we can handle. I think that as we mature and get older we lose the ability to just laugh and be silly like we could when we were younger, but then there are people out there who never grow up and are just stupid silly... I\'ve been reading your past few days of journal entries and they are mostly upbeat, a lot better than a few months ago. It is great to hopefully be on a medication that will help, at least it\'s a start. God will heal you, I believe that with my whole heart! Losing friends, best friends, are so hard! I know I\'ve done it too, and then trying to reconnect after years just doesn\'t seem the same anymore although your love for them has never changes. I\'m so proud that you got through that alpha class and you have made connections with people now that you will have as long as you are apart of the church. I am in a rush to get things done here in the library so i\'ve got to get. Praying for you! Love you lots! Have a blessed day.
