Wow! I love working at this new hospital. The information desk people will actually help stuff envelopes. It took me a long time to ask, given my terminal fear of imposition, but when I finally did, they were super nice and helpful and sweet, and offered to stop doing what they were doing to finish my project first. WOW! This place rocks.

In other news, I killed three birds with one stone by purchasing a super keen, cute and tiny camcorder on sale. The three birds are: party tonight, birthday tape, and Brinn situation. I did all the research I wanted to do, so I feel good about the purchase decision I made. Go me!

Back to work...

Oh, her videocamera broke and I wanted to make all her mini-DVs into DVDs so she could watch them, and the new videocamera I got was the mini-DV format, so now I can do it! With all my spare time, ha ha ha.

terminal fear of imposition

hmm...this is an interesting admission, eh... sometimes i admire people who can so casually impose or receive generosity...at times i have been frustrated with people who don't ask for help when it is available..."d.i.y." (do it yourself)often seems to be the way...however when i put all these observations together, and in my position in high school culinary arts lab/kitchen, i have found it easier to "ask and ye shall receive". kindness goes far and so does action/karma...by giving we receive...we need to receive! so from one friend to another receive recovery from your "terminal fear" as you have taken the steps to success already.
~~~and i love you~~~~

Hiya! Sorry I'm slow on the uptake. So... we've been together almost 6 years. I knew he was bipolar the whole time, but we were both convinced that he was pretty atypical... never got bad enough to need medications or hospitalization or anything like that. UNTIL!!! our son was born. Then he totally flipped out, and ended up in the hospital. He's been on medication for a little over a year now.

A good place to start, if you want some background on me, is this post:

That'll give you some idea of what the explosion looked like. :-)

Yeah... For some reason giving is much easier than asking for me. I'm sure it has to do with needing to control my environment, and fear of pissing people off (got that from living with a chronically pissed-off stepfather, thanks very much). Having a kid has really helped me learn to ask for help. But when dealing with people I don't know I'm still ridiculously avoidant.

I love you too!
