find my wristwatch (read all 3 entries…)
I found it a couple months ago... 4 weeks ago

It had gotten kicked under the sofa’s edge. I’m glad to have it back, although I got so used to not having it that I don’t actually wear it very often. It’s nice for dress-up, though, because it’s more delicate than the everyday watch.

Ireland, maybe? 14 months ago

The group I sing with is going to Ireland in the Spring of ‘08. If all goes well I’ll be going.



Get off antidepressants.
So me and the daaaaaahkterrr... 17 months ago

The psychiatrist who is overseeing the antidepressants said from the beginning that he thought I should be on them forever, and that going off them was a bad idea “I think they help you more than you realize”. I think he means well; we just have very different views on pharmaceuticals. Well, last appointment, it was time to talk about it since it’s been two years—plenty of time to get stabilized. And he suggested that I taper off the Zoloft which was giving me some side effects, and stay on the (tiny dose of) Wellbutrin.

So, for now, that’s what I’m doing. I’m almost done with the tapering process and so far, so good. I can feel things shifting although I would be hard-pressed to describe just how.
