Amazing Feeling

Okay, so I have been on the meds for two and a half weeks now. Gosh, that sounds like I am a nut job- but anyway....I really am starting to feel better. I guess I was skeptical, especially when not a lot happened the first 2 weeks. I started sleeping better, but that was about it. Everyone says that's a big good thing, but I was looking for more than that- like maybe an end to panic attacks...Well, I have only had 1 or 2 big ones, which is a lot less than before, so maybe I should stop being so grumpy...And I have only been on this dosage for a few days, so I guess patience is in order... haha. I suppose I really started to notice yesterday. I do not know how long it has been since I had a really good day. But yesterday was darn near perfection. I got up perfectly, I ate perfectly, I worked out really hard, I took the perfect shower, put on the perfect pink velour sweatsuit,I had the perfect afternoon rest time(very important after the perfect workout) and then my perfect husband came home, and after the perfect amount of unwinding time, we went to the mall and I got the PERFECT winter coat,and the perfect deal on some really cool clothes! (The coat was originally $150, but it was on sale for $99- that's really good already, right? ahh, but it gets so much better! I had gotten a coupon in the mail for $60 off a purchase of $150 or more, so... I spent some time looking for things to get with the other $51 and came up with a pair of really cool embellished jeans and a green velvet skirt.well, when she rang it up, it only came to $124...hmmm apparently, the jeans, which I had thought were $40, were really $10! So, I got another cool pair of jeans, another really cute skirt, and a pair of underwear. So...For a total of $354 worth of clothes, I paid $90! It was like they took $60 off my coat and gave me all the other stuff free!) the only slight disappointment came when we went by payless to get my Christmas shoes and found out they didn't have them- but that's ok, more fun for today! I don't believe the meds have suddenly made everything okay in my life. But they have removed a lot of the obstacles in the way of things being okay. Yesterday I felt like I could accomplish anything, and I did a lot. Unfortunately I have a lot to catch up on... a lot of living I haven't been doing, a lot of work that's been left undone. But I know that god is bigger than the tasks that lie ahead, and that He will be rollin' up His sleeves alongside me and "gittin-r-dun". And that comforts me so much! Amazing how less than three weeks ago I was up all night and sleeping all day and felt like doing nothing at all- and now, here I am wide awake at 6 AM after an amazing night's sleep- ready to start my day! Praise the Lord! Later, Y'all!
