How I did it
It made me
Joyful 
How I did it: I found a job. That was one of the major things holding me back - I had no idea how I was going to find a job when I came to Edmonton for my visit.Went into a 711 after the Manson concert and randomly asked, got an application. I handed it in the next Monday morning, got interviewed and hired that afternoon, started working on Tuesday! No fucking around at 711!So glad I did though - I'm so incredibly overwhelmingly happy… Read how I did it…

Glad/Sad 
How I did it: I worked hard to take him outside, or sit with him, cuddle with him whenever I could. I ran around the house helping him up and around as his arthritis got worse, and just generally made sure to show him love. We put him down on the 16th and my heart is broken. I miss him so much.

Healthier
How I did it: I bought a little refillable juice bottle (a really nice solid rubbermaid one) and started filling it every day. I think it's something like 600 mL or 800 mL I refilled it three times a day plus I had a big glass of water with breakfast and dinner.It got to the point where instead of drinking anything else, I'd just get myself a glass of water. Love it! Read how I did it…

Up to 30mg Daily of Citalopram (Celexa)
2 months ago
I finally found a doctor I like and actually opened up to her about the fact that I wasn’t feeling any effect with the dosage I was on for my meds. She decided to try upping it from 20mg a day to 30mg a day. She gave me a huge refill of my prescription and I’m supposed to see her in a month to see if there’s been any change.
Here’s hoping…
Wish me luck.
Trimmed
2 months ago
Had to get a trim today before I went batty and shaved my hair off. Got a little bit of an angled bob, a bit shorter than the standard but that’s because the longest hair in the front was a little shorter than usual.
Keeping my fingers crossed than I can keep it up. Looking forward to being able to actually muck about with it when it gets long enough.
