When the meds kick in
I will be the first to admit, not being high all the time and now being on “mood stabilizing drugs” sometimes my days are SUPER boring. There were so many times that I would be so flooded with thought there weren’t enough outlets on the internet to maintain them and now I swear sometimes all I hear are the faint sounds of a flat line on an electrocardiogram machine. It is safe this way though, I mean, In the past I would have gotten myself into an array of trouble with my thoughts and the craziness it would cause me, so this I suppose, is a good thing boring as it may be.
Last week my boss was out of town and I was pretty much left alone in the office “holding down the fort” so I decided it would be a good idea to paint it. Yes. Both upstairs and down. And we did!!! First day of the week we have this horrible windstorm and it’s so bad the visibility was practically zero because there was so much dirt blowing around, which coincidentally led to the phone lines and internet going down for the whole entire day… PERFECT timing because we had purchased the paint and supplies and were ready to go to town. And we did!! It was to be a surprise for my boss because he’s been talking about wanting the place painted for a few years and we’ve never gotten around to it, so that was cool. It looks amazing in here too by the way!! Everyone who walks in is just blown away, it is crazy what a few gallons of chocolate brown and cammo green can make.
So now I sit here, listening to the humming of the Sparklettes bottle cooler and the ticking of the clock reminding me that it ISN’T five O’clock here yet and it wont be any sooner if I keep staring at that clock. *sigh*
Wellness is good… right?

Wellness is very good! You are every bit as funny and creative as you were in the “old days.” Being alone in an office all day is boring and long no matter what. Trust me, I did it for most of 12 years. Sick or well, straight or drugged, sober or drunk… nothing would have made a lick of difference in how long and boring those days were. You want to know when it wasn’t boring? When the water fountain burst and flooded the front of the building with ankle deep ice water. When the refrigerator motor caught fire and the building filled with smoke. When new carpet was being installed and the reek of glue made it nearly impossible to breathe. For me, the boring days were the good days.
@saintvi - the highlight of today was me being followed by 2 motorcycle cops all the way down the road to my office. I pretended I was special enough to need a police escort to work.
You really were productive while the boss was gone! But this post needed a picture or two!
I just LOVE you, Shannon!!!!!!!! I’m so proud of you for staying clean. Sometimes, my days are boring,too, but not in the last few. The long drive to Texas looks very appealing to me right now.
@Richgem - one day at a time they say…
Wellness IS good indeed! I’ve often looked for stuff to do throughout those long 8 hour days, most times I’m too lazy to do anything, so HOORAY for productivity! Lets see some pics of the paint job?
