I hate running errands. When I was younger it was cool to get to go to stores and stuff. Now I drag my feet with “ANOTHER ONE?!” Haha, it’s funny how we change. I had an appointment at mental health this morning. It was basically the evaluation portion. I have to go back every 2 weeks to see the counselor and in April (since they’re SO backed up) I’ll be seeing the actual psychiatrist. Quite a long wait to get on meds I see, I should’ve chosen a private practice. Bah! Oh well, it’ll come in time. Otherwise today was very very blah. Groceries, households, gas, Indian reservation. A typical thursday.

I think the BLAH factor is enhanced with the fact that it’s 12F outside.. with a windchill of -3F. BRR! I think that it’s time for a vacation somewhere warmer. How about south and maybe to the west a bit? Sounds like a plan, maybe I ought to check out some Las Vegas hotels to get a few rates for the future. I mean my sister is going there for her birthday next month, perhaps I’ll join. Except.. not really. I’m only 20, no fun going there without drinking and/or gambling.

Well I looked at my clock this afternoon and saw 1:10 and didn’t want to get out of bed, I figure wtf is the point? Well I did anyways and we sat around for a bit doing nothing. Finally around 5 mom and I decided to go to Wal-mart which ALWAYS turns into an experience. We decided to buy a deep-fryer since ours quit about 3 months ago. Then we went to the paint section and I convinced her to buy me some paint. I got a small thing of white to do the trim around my door/bookshelf and re-do my ceiling and a bigger can of a skyblue color (I’ll include a pic below). Right now I have 3 white walls and 1 dark purple. It looks odd and needs to be re-done, I want something that Randy can look at and not be like ew. Sooo, we did that. THEN after we got groceries I convinced mom to get a $20 money order for Randy. So now he’ll have a bit of $$$ to buy stamps and paper. I like getting my letters. He wrote me a 12 page front and back letter that I got today. Very long… but it was good to read.

On another note John is no longer in the hospital, he’s been released into his mother’s care. He is beginning to speak a bit more clearly as well and I guess he’s been saying my name. He keeps trying to get my name and Andrea’s out. His mom said once he can speak in sentences and say that he wants to see us he will be allowed a visit. I hope so, I think it’d help a lot to have friends around for support to know that he is cared about. I’m concluding w/ a pic of Andrea and Allen the other day annnnd a sample of the paint.

Holidays really are hard to forget if you venture into the retail areas at all, as soon as one is done the next is up and this was the case for Valentine’s day… in December immediately after Christmas. I began seeing cards and candy and tons of pink and red placed to remind us that valentine’s day was only a month and a half away. I’ve never been one to be overly gushy or romantic on Valentine’s day but I have been browsing CouponChief.com to see if I could find any Walmart coupons or Kmart coupons because I’m rather fond of shopping at both of these stores. You never know what you might find for that special someone if you take your time and browse around a bit.
