Party Day at Work!
Today we had a big party at work. It was partially for Mexican Independence Day- it was Cultural Awareness Day. It was a lot of fun, and I ate a whole bunch of bad food, but oh well. I've been so low on my calories that I needed a day of splurging. I slept like crap last night, and I was up for a couple hours in the middle around 5-7am. I had to take a klonopin in the middle to get back to sleep. They wanted me to come in early for the party, so I woke up early and went in. I was feeling okay today... not too bad. I think overall people might have thought I was depressed, since it didn't look like I was having as good as a time as everyone else, but I was feeling okay. I was even dancing a bit when my head wasn't hurting too bad. The music was pretty loud, so it was hard to hear. I still had to stay at my desk and answer questions when I could hear them, but since the clinic was mostly closed there wasn't a lot of people there asking questions. I could get by just watching everyone have fun and sit at the desk.
It was weird... I saw both good doc and bad doc today since they work at the clinic. Good Doc was in a tee shirt and jeans, and even came up to me and said hi, and started talking about the chairs he gave me, about Geo, about random stuff. I told him he should go up there and dance (he's in his 60's I think, but in good shape). He laughed it off and said it was for us young kids. It was nice to joke around with him like normal. I saw Bad Doc, too... He was standing in the corner, just watching everything going on with almost a scowl on his face like he didn't want to be there. He doesn't seem like the party type. I think the only reason he was out there was to support his country (there were displays from a bunch of countries and food from each of them) and that's why he was out there. That, and it was considered a work day, so you had to be there your regular hours. I came in early so I could help with the clean up, but everyone else worked their normal hours.
I saw the annoying girl today, but she was nice to me. I hope that she continues to be nice. I talked to her for less than a minute... she had done her eyeshadow in the style of the Jamaican flag and she did a really nice job of it, so I told her so. It's hard to be mad at someone who is paying you a complement. When she and I were at the desk together, I was telling her things like how nice she looked too, and she would smile, but there's only so much I can say. I'm not going to complement her on everything, especially if I don't mean it. Then it only seems shallow. I hope next week when my boss is in training that I don't have to work with her, but if I do I hope that she and I can get along better. I think the tricks my therapist gave me are going to help.
Mood was good today... like I said above it didn't look like I was having fun, but I was at the party. I was tired all day because of the bad sleep, but I dealt with it pretty well. I did take a nap today, and I'm tired now, but I think I can sleep tonight. I'm going to take a restoril tonight just so I can get some straight sleep. I keep on having broken sleep, so I'm going to take a pill that is supposed to help me get sleep. It's like klonopin but more for sleep than anxiety. We will see how that goes. I'm just going to put my mood as okay for the day, though, because I don't want to jump to “good” too fast. I just had one good day, I don't want it to stand out if it's just one good day. I'm hoping tomorrow is going to be a good day, but I can't say for sure. Food was bad toady, but oh so good! I had all sorts of Latin food that was yummy, and brought home some for Geo. I had a light dinner to make up for it, and I'm going to try and go for a longer walk tomorrow if my calf is up to it. I'm using heat on it now, so we will see how it feels tomorrow. I do stretch it when I remember after my workout, but I'm lax on doing it before. I know where I need to work on!
