Monday, June 4, 2007 7:25 AM Sometimes it is good to take a weekend off and just do nothing. For me it is like a mini vacation. I tried to get away from the noise and stress of everyday life, which refreshes me. Sooner or later, the fantasy life starts to go away and I have to return to reality. Thanks go to everyone who thought of me during the weekend. I may have been somewhat lost, in my own mind, by the end of last week. The series of problems I had been going through finally hit me hard. I needed to take a break, and I think weekend provided just that. It did eliminate my struggles, but it certainly help to alleviate them. This week I am trying to determine how I can best handle my brother and his continued accusations that I am using drugs, and intentionally avoided the family get-together at his house. I am also trying, unsuccessfully at this time, to obtain some medications that I asked to get last weekend. Tuesday I need to have some hearing aid adjustments made, and Wednesday I get to see my therapist again. It is beginning to look like I have another full week ahead of me. Friday the Denver Housing Authority is going to inspect my apartment. I am hopeful that we will be just a formality. Meanwhile, there is an ongoing struggle with my sister about my moving to a location closer to her family. With all of these things going on it promises to be an interesting week, although a busy one at that. A Daily Thought: “Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities.

I\'m so glad you had a nice relaxing (ish) weekend! I know you don\'t want your bro thinking bad things. but sounds like he\'s pretty set. Maybe just say that you know what you have and haven\'t done. And you haven\'t been doing drugs, and you did want and try to attend. However, he has to choose what he is going to believe and right now that obviously isn\'t you. You can only do so much - it\'d be nice if he could trust that you are being honest, but you can\'t keep saying the same things over and over. Either he has to accept that you are being honest or he has too choose to think badly of you. But you have defended yourself, and shouldn\'t have to continue doing so.
That makes no sense huh? Well I hope this week goes well! Somebody needs to take an efficiency expert to that pharmacy! Ha ha ha! Much Luv!
