I'm not even going to try to pick up where I left off last time. Because today I turn 44, and I'm stuck in another town working an overnight shift at a hospital and there's nothing for me to do but sit here and get paid. Yay.

Monday or Tuesday, we get to close on our house. That's exciting. What sucks is that we're scheduled to be in this town until the 17th. Hopefully, it won't be that long, but it could be. I'm working alone overnight until Wednesday, when I'll start coming in at 8 a.m. After this project is done, I'm not sure what the company will do with me.

One good bit of news - they hired me on as a permanent employee, with benefits! I'm no longer a temp. That has bothered me for my entire employment.

In mental health news, after Cymbalta stopped helping and another drug did nothing, I've been put on one named Brintellix which seems to be helping. My doctor also wants me to give transcranial magnetic stimulation a try, which I'm willing to do. She also asked me to consider ECT, which I am not willing to do. Good or bad, my memories make me who I am, and I'm not willing to lose them.

I hope you had a decent enough birthday,and that you were surrounded by more friends than you would have been in Lander. Perhaps night shift isn't best for you, but it sounds like things aren't so bad. Congrats on another year!

Well, it was pretty unbirthday like. But I can't really complain.
