I feel ecstaticYesterday, Pam Smith from the Community Action Project1 called me. She asked me if I would be interested in working at one of their sites preparing taxes for needy families.

Sex and Mania (Updated)
2007-12-26 13:33:00
I'm trying to learn how to recognize when I'm having a manic episode, but I haven't quite figured it out yet. I usually realize it after it's too late and damage has been done, which is what happened with this last episode. I thought I was getting better and having fun. I was having threesomes, foursomes, sex on web cam, and going to a sex club. I was also dating three guys simultaneously and having sex with all of them (separately) and I was having cybersex with Erick. I wasn't just having fun. In actuality, I was disrespecting myself and promiscuity is not a quality I want to be known for. I was thinking about when I began this round of manic sexcapades. It was about two weeks after Nick and I broke up. That was around the middle of June; six months of wild, unrestrained sex. However, I was smart about it and used condoms. The closest (and least derogatory) term associated with my behavior is 'brazen hussy'. If I were a male I would be called a W...

Nonconformance Regarding My Medication Regimen
2007-12-20 12:18:00
As a child, I had rheumatic fever and was supposed to take antibiotics and anti-inflammatories, but I hated taking pills. I often flushed them down the toilet when my mom wasn't watching. I was getting worse so they figured out that I hadn't been taking the meds. My mom made me start getting penicillin shots (I guess that's why I'm not afraid of needles. Well, that and 11 years of donating blood). However, the damage had already been done and the rheumatic fever developed into rheumatic heart disease. I only took the anti-inflammatories and pain pills when I had a flare up and the pain made me bedridden. Because that experience I understand the importance of taking every dose. However, that doesn't make it any easier. Currently, I am taking eleven different medications which equal fourteen pills daily. That's 5,110 pills a year and almost $16,000 a year! It's difficult to take that many pills per day, everyday. I occasionally get offtrack and star...

Grrr…
2007-12-17 18:50:00
I'm at the library again because we still do not have any power at home. Eight long days without electricity - I've been 'camping out' in my own home. I'm starting to feel like Laura Ingalls, except I have hot running water. Supposedly, our power will be back on no later than 11pm tomorrow… 2500 electrical workers have been brought in from several other states. Originally, almost 300,000 Tulsans were without power and an additional 300,000 throughout the rest of Oklahoma. I know they are working as hard and fast as they can, but damn my patience is wearing very thin. I'll update more as soon as I can, please, bear with me.

Ice Storm
2007-12-14 21:28:00
I haven't been able to write lately because we had one helluva ice storm Sunday. Our power has been out since then. The electric company say we should have power again late tonight or early tomorrow. However, a snow storm is forecast for tonight, so we'll see. The amount of candles we have used so far is amazing. I'm glad I'm Wiccan and had over 300 taper candles on hand because all the stores were out of candles, batteries, radios, ice melt, ice scrapers, etc. Right now I'm at the library because I was dying of boredom. I didn't realize how much we take things like electricity for granted. Almost a week without power has a way of making you appreciate certain things. On the plus side I got caught up on sleep. I also read 4 books. I have been writing and I will catch up all the posts I should have already posted as soon as I have power back on at home.
