I am awake at 5 am but I've been awake since 3. Yesterday I woke up at 4. This is not a good trend.

Good news I see the meds person and I can say "Remember when I told you get I resistant to dosages of sleep meds? Yeah, I think that's happening, what can we do?" Bad news is that I'll see her during skills group where we will learn about acting opposite of sadness which I really want to learn. Hopefully it will be a short visit with the meds person or maybe I can ask for a "tutoring" session on the acting oppsite of sadness.

Had cool news - I've been in Second Life and taking pictures again and really happy, also playing around on picmonkey.com beacuse that's easier for me to deal with than GIMP or photoshop and I submitted a bunch of pictures to a group and one got picked for the flickr group cover.

This is the group [link]

This is is my photo stream [link]

Actually most of the shots are just raw shots from Second Life of the landscape ones there's only 2 I retouched in anyway.

Very cool pics, askye! I hope you do get the conversations you need with the meds person.

My doctor appointment is at 11:30 today, and I'm actually nervous about it. This is ridiculous.

Hec! Do you happen to have any family in St. Petersburg, FL? I'm here for a library conference and one of the local librarians shares your last name. Which I realize is not a lot to go on, but I know you have (or used to have?) Florida connections, so I figured I'd ask.

Teppy, good luck with your appointment.

I'm actually nervous about it.

I hate going to the doctor. I'm always certain I'm just going to hear everything I'm doing wrong.

I generally like going to the doctor. Well-paid professionals are paying attention to me!

And are unlikely to do anything you could get arrested for.

Yeah, I'm expecting to hear I'm being a stupid drama queen who's overreacting to everything and also a drug seeker and that the solution to my problem is to lose weight.

And away I go. I hope my post-appointment report is vastly different than my fears.

No immediate family there, but all Smays are related so they're some kind of distant cousin. We all descend from a common ancestor. My Dad's done all the geneological research back to 14th century in Rottweill, Germany.

Have fun in Florida!
