i woke up in a great mood this morning. the past 24 hours were filled with stuff to do and i feel wonderful. kelli and i walked up to my shrink's new office. this involved going up a huge hill, which i've done with doc a couple of times and had to rest halfway up (i'm really out of shape), but yesterday i didn't need to rest.

we waited in the office for 45 minutes and i saw my doctor for less than five. lucky i'm patient that way. we went over my improvement with the increase in cymbalta and i asked him for a referral for a therapist. my doctor is now in an office with many other doctors and therapists. so when i made my appointment, i also made one for a therapist.

i see her next week. i'm so excited. i got lucky in that she accepts medicare. i don't know how often i can see her, but i can't wait to start therapy. i think i will finally start to get better.

then we walked home and S was here hanging out with doc, so we ordered pizza and watched Deadliest Catch.

so it wasn't the past 24 hours, maybe 12. but i had a lot of fun with all things combined.

then, Sig Hansen from Deadliest Catch was on the Daily Show, which was great, he's my favorite captain on the show.

the next time i go up that hill, i'm taking a camera because you can see the whole strip from up there. it's beautiful.

i love that hill. i can't wait until i can climb it without being winded. that will take a while, but i'll get lots of practice going to and from my doctor's appointments.

i can't stop smiling over having a therapist. i'm so excited to start the process of healing.
