Finally, A Good Day

I finally had a great day after a series of down and out, depressing and painful days. It started with a wonderful cup of coffee which led to coffee out at Denny's for breakfast followed by a quick look at the Presbyterian Bazaar and ended our outing at Wal-Mart where we did some errand shopping. We then came home and started in on carving pumpkins. This year we went with simple, classic faces. Nothing really fancy.

After the carving of the pumpkins was done, we got ourselves ready for the Oregon vs. USC game. Dad and I wore matching Oregon Ducks pajama pants and we ate finger foods for dinner while we watched the game. And the Ducks won!

And now here I am, writing at the end of a very wonderful and best of all, pain free day. I have also had a switch in medications to hopefully help my restlessness and help me focus and concentrate better. And so far I think it is helping! I saw my therapist and told her I felt like I had ADD or ADHD and then I saw my psychiatrist who handles my medications and told him of my new symptoms and he took me off one medication and started me on a different one that I think is actually helping. It may be too early to tell yet but I certainly have felt better the past two days.

Tomorrow is Halloween, my second favorite holiday (Christmas being my favorite). It is the beginning of the holiday season. I love this time of year.
