I can't win...
So lately I've been all about drinking my 8 glasses of water a day. (GO ME!)
I have a cup that fits 16 oz, so I just need to drink 4 of those. Easy right?
I kept losing track of how many I had drunk.
So I had a brilliant idea- I got rubberbands, and I would put one around the cup each time I drank one.
Now I keep forgetting if I had already put the rubberband on or not.
I think I've had 10-14 glasses of water a day because of my total airheadedness. I may have set a new world record for how many times peeing in one day. I make sure I get my 8 (that I have actually counted, but more like 10 or 12) early enough that it doesn't disrupt my sleep. But it still does.
The good news is I'm very well hydrated!

Contrary to popular belief, Kmart doesn't suck...
However, Rite Aid still does.
Today I switched my prescription to the Kmart pharmacy because I never heard back from Rite Aid that they addressed my issue with them.
I go to Kmart just about every week to buy cat food (yes, it's cheaper there than anywhere else I've found, although the litter is way more expensive than the grocery store, go figure) so it's just as convenient to go there. Plus they gave me a $20 in gift cards for transferring my script, so it's win/win!
Oh and a bonus- my prescription at Kmart was 68 cents cheaper than at Rite Aid and it only took her about 4 minutes to fill it :)
So although Rite Aid Eric was great for reaching out, somewhere after him a ball got dropped. RA Eric, I'm sorry your company sucks. But at least you get paid to google :)

Not like before...
So back in jr high, high school and college I was a big journaler. I realized though that I really only wrote when I was blue. In fact, if one were to read those journals, one would think that I was the most depressed person on earth.
But the fact was that I didn't need to write when things were going well. I used that writing to get through the bad times. It worked for me.
Of course once someone did happen to read one it ruined it all for me. I never felt safe again putting those deepest, darkest emotions down on paper again.
When I first started this blog I mentioned that. And I said that if I wrote knowing people would read, that maybe I would be able to do some type of journal again, although this time it would be an online one.
If you have been a long time reader though, you have seen times when I don't write for a while. And you know what's going on during those times? Unlike my previous journaling life, those are not the times I'm happiest. Those are the tough times when I just can't bring myself to write here. I can't truly share my sadness with the blogosphere, so I just stay away.
So yeah, it's been a tough couple of weeks for me. I got my hopes raised for something amazing and then they were smashed and crumbled. It's really hard to keep having hope when stuff like that happens, you know? And everyone kept saying stuff like "it wasn't meant to be" or "something better will come along". But you know what? There's only so many times I can hear those platitudes before they drive me freaking nuts. Sometimes, it just sucks. Plain and simple.
I also had some anniversaries that caused some introspection.
None of this is stuff I really wanted to put out there in specific details.
But I felt like I should check in and say that I'm alive, I'm surviving, and I hope to get some hope back soon... I'd really love to have lots of happy stuff to write about.
