Brett's Birthday and Other Various News
It's once again been quite some time since I've written a blog post. Much has taken place since my last posting. Today was Brett's 5th birthday. This was not planned out all that well this year due to the fact that I didn't realize it was coming up until last week. I did however get him the one and only gift he asked for, which was a Batman costume for his Build-a-Bear tiger. I plan to get him some more gifts before the weekend. I'm going to try and throw some type of party for him on Saturday.
Work has seemed busy for the last month or two for some reason. The economy doesn't seem to be affecting my employer too much. I've been really interested in space again for some reason. I've been hitting Hulu pretty hard with various space series such as Carl Sagan's 'Cosmos', and the History series 'The Universe'. I'm also starting to catch up on the new season of Curb Your Enthusiasm. I wish HBO would create some way to subscribe to it's programming online. I'd be more than willing to pay to watch Curb and Bill Maher, I just don't feel like getting an entire cable TV package to do so. So for now, I am a little behind while I have to find episodes after they are released.
In personal news, I have gone over two weeks now without taking any type of medication. And I'm feeling extremely healthy. I'm almost certain at this point that my anxiety medication is somehow causing my nausea. In the two weeks that I haven't taken the anxiety pills, my stomach has been completely fine. It's very relieving to not be controlled by those pills though. At one point, I had trouble going more than a couple of hours without the medication and I was taking up to six pills a day. I think I might be to the point now where I might be able to stay off of them for good. Up until now, I could never go more than three days between medication. I have sure been trying since around March to take longer and longer gaps between each pill. I think breaking that three day mark was the big key to getting off of this. Anyhow, I have to get to bed. With the kids in school, my alarm is now going off at 6:30AM. It's not good.
