I had a great night sleep,and then I went to my mother's to do laundry. I came home and put my clothes away. I have some things to do that are positive for me. My boy-friend is coming over at 3pm and we are going out for awhile,and then we are going over to a friends apartment to visit for awhile,so I am not sure what time we will be home. I am doing alright and I feeling pretty good. Do not forget to change your clocks tonight,they go back an hour. I will be just fine. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will be back on the bus later on before we leave. taking care of myself
I am in a dark place like a turtle afraid to deal with the pain that I do not want to feel,but eventually I will slowly face my pain,like the turtle when he comes out of his shell.

I have a busy day tomorrow and I have to get up early to go grocery shopping and I have other places to go with my mother. I am hanging in there and doing the best I can. I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. I will be just fine. NO SI so far,that is great. I will be back on the bus before I go to bed. :bcatsmile:

I just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing.We have to be there before 6:15pm. I am hanging in there. I will be back on the bus later on sometime. :bcatsmile:

I am doing pretty good. I am getting ready for program and I am looking forward to going in. I am feeling alright,just frustrated cause probably next month sometime I will be moving. I am looking forward to it,just not a week before Christmas,like on the 17th of Dec. I am not really sure yet if that is correct,but I will let everyone know when I find out. I am doing alright and I am hanging in there. I will be back on the bus when I get home. :bcatsmile:
