Happy Labor Day!
Hey all! It's Rissa again :) I've been busy with my 1/2 marathon training and fundraising. I only have $35 :( but I know that I can get more. If anyone wants to donate, here's my page with more info- http://bit.ly/DYanez .
Okay, enough with the shameless plugs. I've been doing pretty good... I had a great time with my mom. I got to spoil her for once. I took her and her husband out to dinner, took her to get a pedicure and then a nice lunch at a little cafe. I just had a bit of a problem getting home. My train was 3 hours late, and so I had to wait at the train station for that long, and then another 8 hour on the train. My trains were late both times... coming and going. It wasn't fun. I gained 10 pounds while I was at my moms, but I've dropped a couple of them already. I've been sleeping a lot since I got home... when I was at my mom's I wasn't sleeping as much as I do at home. I don't know why, but I was fine on like 10 hours of sleep again. Then I get home and it's back to 12 or 14 hours. I know that's a ton of sleep, but that's what my body wants. Geo is having sleeping problems as well.. he didn't go to sleep this morning until 11am. He was up all night. We should be going to the psych tomorrow afternoon and hopefully the doctor can do something for his sleep. I've been getting hallucinations again and twitching, so I think my meds need to be adjusted as well.
We got a car, and I love it! Geo is going to teach me how to drive it. I need to get my license. I start my 1/2 marathon practice at 6am and I can't be taking the bus and walking around alone at that time of night. I don't want to be waking up Geo in the middle of the night for him to drive me. I might also do driving school if I can afford it. I'm going to be looking around maybe tomorrow or Wednesday to see. I have therapy on Thursday and I don't know what to talk about. I've been seeing a lot of improvements in my life... like getting along well with my mom when I was up there with her. I think she's going to ask me about my letter to my stepbrother which I still haven't mailed yet. I don't know his address. I could ask my stepmother, but I don't want to be talking to her if I can help it. She's going to start talking about church, and I don't want her finding out that I'm an atheist. She might not let me see my little brother when I go out to LA to see my family. He still lives with her, so she does have some sort of control over him.
Okay, it's getting late... I better be getting to bed so I can be up early in the morning for volunteering!
