Can ya believe it?

So, it's been just about a month since my last blog and a lot has changed. School is in session. I've had some family drama and I am currently quite happy with someone who is not any of the following

a) directionless
b) way too young for me
or c) speaks to me only through text messages

So things are looking up (with the help of good old Effexor Rx- no stigma, right?) My job has changed in the fact that I have a new principal who has already called me Jill and arrived at school later than I did today. Hmmm, should be an interesting year. Also, it seems that once your parent dies, you want to have some sort of routine so you call everyone you ever liked to be around (like I did last Thursday) and you drink a lot of wine (like I did last Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Friday was beer only) and you try to schedule appointments every night of the week. Is it Spring? Because all of a sudden I need to go out on school nights. Has the Vernal Equinox renewed itself? Crazy...

Also, I don't feel like shopping- which is weird. And I haven't been working out at all. I assume this all goes hand-in-hand with my current situation of being a wee bit depressed but it's kind of weird when you don't feel like doing the things you normally thoroughly enjoy. I take a lot of naps and get pissed when my phone rings and blares "Brass Monkey" at me while I am sleeping. I guess I have a lot to adjust to. Last night was my second night home alone since my Dad passed away. I didn't want to think about it so I went to bed at 8 pm without dinner. I basically punished myself by sending myself to bed without dinner (???) Didn't think of it that way yesterday when I climbed in the old Nicole Miller sheets and snuggled up to my pillows at 7:45 pm- ooh, and I neglected to mention that I took a 2 hour nap yesterday too. So sleeping too much probably has something to do with my wee bit of depression too. I got to work today at 7:03 am (approximately 1 hour and 12 minutes earlier than I am supposed to be here) and did a ton of work with my "Relax Mix" playlist on. I didn't relax much because I forgot to bring home my plan book this weekend and I had to do my math plans this morning (which has never happened to me in 5 years.) This medicine must be working because I slept like a rock and it didn't even bother me that I had a ton of work waiting for me this morning. Fortunately I am speedy girl and got everything done- with time to spare for a DnD run and blogging (because clearly America runs on Dunkin...)

So that's my day thus far. Looking forward to a little meeting, doctor appointment, and dins with my Mama (who incidently has been away since last Thursday and I actually really miss her...) so things should work out today. Sorry this isn't really funny. I don't really feel that funny today.
