Waiting--Waiting
I'm waiting for a new job to open up. It's at Knott's Berry Farm. They're supposed to call me this week for my background check and tell me when to start. I was hired on the 8th and it's now the 23rd. They said it would take about 2 weeks, and it's been 2 weeks exactly.
People with bipolar don't wait too well, I guess. We're too busy expecting the worst, imagining something bad will happen. Doctors call it ruminating. Sometimes, I call it just being prepared.
I have to go see my psych today. I was thinking about getting a new dr., and I've been to see a new one I like better but I'm not sure if I want to now or not. We'll see after today. I want to be on a different medication regimen than the one I'm on now, but my dr. is very resistant to making changes. That's why I want a new dr.
I'm very tired today. I worked double hard at my kung fu class last night and my legs are very sore. Funny how making yourself ache all over makes you feel good.
