Freedom Or Isolation

****

As expected, I'm tired. I knew I would be with only 5
hours of sleep, but for the most part I'm in a good mood.
That's something to be thankful for.

Work went by rather quickly. There were a bunch of us with
little supervision. Just Becky, who is a CSL with pretty
much no ability to command authority. So, we stood around
and chatted with each other, until Jenny came on the floor
at 3:30pm. But, I was out of there at 3:45pm, so it didn't
affect me much. My last day of work (day shift work, that
is) was easy. That made me happy :) As happy as I get.

I decided to treat myself to something I've been wanting
for awhile now. There's this 3rd party brand we carry in
the catalogue and online. Designer haircare that I've been
wanting to try for years, but never got around to buying.
Now they carry it at Bath and Body Works, and in a try me
size no less. Frederic Fekkai. I got the luscious curls
complete set, which smells so fresh and clean. I hope I
like it. Currently I'm using the So Sexy we carry at VS,
but the fragrance is too heavy for me right now. My hair
always smells nice, but Honey Nectar and Ginseng sound
more appealing to me than the Body By Victoria fragrance.

We had a nice evening together as a family. We had a
simple dinner. Roasted chicken, baked potatoes and corn
(Snookums suggestion), watched Wheel of Fortune and
relaxed. Kiki isn't feeling well, so we slipped some
Motrin in her V8 juice to lower her temperature. The poor
baby was on fire, but in a good mood. I hope she's not
coming down with anything too serious. Annie is doing
better, but her ear is still sensitive. She's got another
week left on her medications, but I'm seeing an
improvement. They're sleeping now, which means mommy and
daddy will be soon, too.

As far as how I'm feeling about changing my routine, I
think I'm coming to grips with it. I still haven't decided
if it's freedom or isolation. It might feel like isolation
in the beginning, but hopefully I can overcome that and
see it for what it is. More time with my family, less
focus on a job that I enjoy, but that doesn't help my
family (not really), and a chance to do other things. I
want to try going to the gym (even if I can't do much), I
want to spend time doing things with Kiki and teaching her
things she thus far hasn't learned in therapy or daycare.
I'm going to stay optimistic about this. I'm not being
held prisoner, I'm being set free...Ciao.
