12:09AM - So, the day was a mixed bag
We went to the Museum of Modern Art, and it was... not what it should have been. He's very cold to me, and not very nice. On the way home he tried getting out of going to the therapist tomorrow. So say a prayer about that.
On the other hand, we spent the entire evening watching the whole second season of Ghost Hunt, and it's bene great, just like old times. i will talk about this with the therapist tomorrow.
Bed now.
Gratitude List:
1. Mixed blessings.
2. Museums.
3. Saw some things at MoMa that I remembered from years ago.
4. Fun anime.
5. So-so day.
6. My cute flying pig finger puppet that I got today.

11:02PM - Not a good day
Work was frustrating.
One nice thing though, on the way home I saw four Quaker parrots sitting on the telephone wires near where I think the nest is. So that was nice.
But the rest of the evening has bene pretty bad. The Kid is starting to relize just how bad things are and she's pretty upset. We watched the end of the anime we've bene watching, (I was wrong on the name, it's Ghost Hunt, not Hunter)
Tomorrow we're going to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I know The Husband isn't doing it for the right reasons, but maybe it will be a good thing anyway. Maybe we can have a good time.
Two episodes of Law and Order were both ones we'd seen already.
Going to bed now.
Life sucks.
1. Wild parrots.
2. The Kid.
3. Anime.
4. Bedtime soon.
5. Got through the day.
6. Having a talk with The Kid.
crappy12:24AM - Not much to say
I called ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
mashfanficchick after work just to talk, and that was good. Then I met up with The Kid and Christina (that's the lab partner from last year, remember, not Christy the old friend that we ran into on the 4th of July). We had bubble tea and we were going to have crepes but the place was closed and Christina had to leave, but The Kid and I went to another place and had some. Nutella desert crepes, Yum!
Then ew went shopping for awhile. The Husband met us in Flushing and we took a cab back. Watched Ghost Hunter, and then Law and order, and then another Ghost Hunter. now going to bed.
I hurt so badly. I want my husband back. I just don't understand.
Gratitude List:
1. Someone to talk to on the bus.
2. Meeting up with The Kid and having a good time.
3. Day went quickly.
4. Still no bad results from what I did yesterday (on the down side, no results at all)
5. Nutella.
6. Interesting things in Flushing.

12:04AM - So, I did something I needed to do
Hopefully it'll work out for the best.
The Boss is back from her vacation. She is as annoying as ever.
Meanwhile, I made a program call on the way home from work, which is a Good Thing. And then When I got home The Kid and I took a walk. We went and got ice cream and then we went to Target, but we didn't buy anything.
The Husband bought Joe's Best Burgers for dinner.
Watched some more of Ghost Hunters, then Law and order. Now going to bed.
Gratitude List:
1. Nice time with The Kid.
2. Found courage to do what I should.
3. And nothing bad's happened as a result yet.
4. Made a phone call.
5. Mint chocolate chip ice-cream.
6. Bed now.

12:06AM - Sad Day
Not that anything bad happened or anything. But I can't be happy.
After work I took another firefly walk with The Kid. Slightly better results this time. Also we saw a bunch of baby racoons! That was nice.
Came home and The Husband had a new anime, Ghost Hunter it's called. Quite odd so far.
Then watched Law and Order.
Now The Husband and The Kid are having a fight about toothpaste.
Gratitude List:
1. Nice walk.
2. Baby racoons.
3. New anime.
4.Fireflies.
5. Beautiful sunset over Manhatten.

3:09PM - Long promised update at lunch
Because I'm working late tonight, I'm having lunch now.
So what happened was, we went to the therapist Monday night. I like her, she seems perceptive, caught on to things quickly, and asked some good probing questions. He agreed to commit to eight sessions. We'll see what happens after that.
But we left fighting because of something that he said just as we were leaving, that I'm going to have to do something about
Anyway, even aside from all this, life hasn't been too good. We lost another bird, my parakeet, Citrine. I miss her. She seems to have been sick somehow, but she didn't show any signs. I don't know what happened.
And work has been... uncomfortable because of the switchover to the new system that we've been going through. Typical that apparently everything was not fully tested, and the number of glitches that have been showing up is phenominal.
Yesterday on my free day I felt uncommunicative. Spent most of it in bed reading. Called mashfanficchik which was good, and went to my meeting of course. Step meeting, step seven, humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings. It was overcoming my shortcomings to be able to even make the apointment to see the therapist.
Went on a walk with The Kid to find fireflies afterwards, but we only saw two. The rest were already asleep I guess.
Gratitude List:
1. Friends.
2. My program.
3. The therapist seems good.
4. Family.
5. The Kid, who's being a trouper through all this.
6. The beautiful red flower I saw blooming by the side of the road today. It gives me hope.

10:40PM - Going for a Firefly walk with The Kid
Probably won't have time to write much. Maybe more when I come in, maybe tomorrow at lunch to catch up.

4:11PM - Sneaking in
No time to answer the replies to my locked post (but thanks and love, guys), but, after I posted that I found that we're having computer problems at home. And I'm free tomorrow so if our home computer is down I can't post from work. So if I don't post again until Wednesday, it's probably because of that, not because I killed myself or anything!
After the post below, I didn't want to worry anyone by just suddenly vanishing without explaination.
12:26AM - Day at Mom's
So we went to Mom's today. It was a pretty good time, nothing special. We used up a whole bunch of sparklers and black snakes, and we played with the bubble stuff.
The Husband barbaqued, and we had ice-cream for desert. We watched an episode of Law and Order while Oldest Brother took a nap.
And now we're home and watching Ghost in the Shell.
Gratitude List:
1. Nice time at Mom's.
2. Good weather.
3. Sparklers.
4. Family.
5. Something that should happen tomorrow.
6. Hope.

1:21AM - 4th of July
Started out by going to my meeting, and I actually made it in time to go to the beginners meeting beforehand. So I felt good about that. Got a ride home, and a chance to talk to someone, which was also good.
Then The Husband and The Kid and I went down to the park for a few hours. We didn't stay long though, because it turned out that they didn't have the bathroom open.
So then we watched Ghost in the Shell. Then The Husband went down and got us sandwiches, and we watched more Ghost in the Shell.
The The kid and I went out for a wakl. By then it was dark, and we went in search of illegal fireworks to watch. And by happy coincidence we ran into Christy, The Kid's old friend! (Not Christina, her old lab partner) She was talking her little sister and brother out for a walk with the same intent. So we all went on together, and it was really nice. I was very happy to see her again. We walked all around and saw some very nice stuff.
Then we came back and watched more Ghost in the Shell. And now it's time for bed.
Gratitude List:
1. The day went as well as it could.
2. Saw Christy again.
3. Good time with The Kid.
4. Independence!
5. Still a day off.
6. Seeing Mom and Oldest Brother tomorrow.

1:44AM - Happy anniversery to me? Yeah, right
Actually, it went pretty well. We started out by going to the bank and tried to start a savings account. And couldn't because neither of us has a photo ID. Then I tried to get my debit card replaced. No go.
After that we had breakfast at the diner, and then we went over to Bay Terrace to see Public Enemies. It's pretty good. It's Johnny Depp. What more needs to be said?
Then we did a little shoping and ended up at the bookstore. Got a bunch of books.
The Kid is back from Cody's. His father had the bone marrow transplant on Wednesday. She met us at Bay Terrace and we all ate at Outback.
Then we came back and watched Ghost in the Shell. And soon we'll go to bed.
Gratitude List:
1. Most of the years have been good.
2. The Kid is home.
3. Ghost in the Shell.
4. My meeting tomorrow.
5. Holiday weekend.
6. The Kid just said "I love you".

12:05AM - Creepy movie
The Husband bought a horror dvd that we watched tonight, called Martyrs. I wish he hadn't. Blech. 'Nuf said.
Work was crazy. I went nuts working on the timesheets, finally just about done. It'll have to be Monday I finsih them, and if anyone objects, tough.
After work i went into Flushing and got myself a cheap pair of sandles, and a nice pair of sneakers.
Then came home and called Oldest Brother. And here I should say, one of the main reasons I haven't been saying what's been wrong these past few weeks is because I didn't want him to read about it here before I told hi myself, and I just didn't feel like telling him yet. But I did tonight, so probably tomorrow I'llsay more here.
Anyway, after the Husband came home we watched the creepy movie, and then Law and Order, and now he's watching some of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Coomplex. I'll go watch it too after I finish this.
Gratitude List:
1. Family.
2. New shoes.
3. Timesheets done.
4. Three day weekend.
5. Creepy movie was just a movie.
6. Coming clean.

11:34PM - It ws a day
I got something important done. That was good.
I didn't get as much work done as I should have, though. That was bad. Tomorrow I need to get the bulk of of the timesheets finished. That will NOT be fun.
After work instead of coming straight home I went to the little park and sat for awhile. I called mashfanficchick which is always a Good Thing to do, and The Kid called me, which was nice.
Then came home, The Husband bought burgers from Joes Best Burger, and we watched a few crime shows, including of course Law and Order. It really is the best of the bunch.
And now it's time for bed. I'm very, very tired.
Gratitude List:
1. Light in the darkness and hope that things might get better.
2. Friends.
3. My benefits plan.
4. I didn't get caught in the rain.
5. Cats.
6. The Kid is still having a good time at Cody's.

11:40PM - Not much happened today
I accomplished something I needed too, though, so that was good. The Boss is leaving on vacation (again), and once again is leaving me with all the end of the month crap. Oh joy.
Came home in pouring rain but actually managed to keep relatively dry. Ran up with someone I know outside Walgrens and that was nice.
Got a call from The Kid, she had a fight with Cody, but they seem to have made up, so that's good.
Went to my meeting. The topic was a combination of Higher Power, needs, and happiness. there isn't much happiness iin my life roght now. I'd be willing to settle for peace and serenity.
Came home, watched Law and Order, talked to Oldest Brother. And now going to bed.
Weird and disturbing fact of the day, we saw an ad for a chia pet made to look like President obama.
Gratitude List:
1. Got done what I neded to get done.
2. The Kid made up with Cody.
3. I didn't get too drenched.
4. Law and order.
5. Al Franken won the senate seat.
6. Program and program people.

Got up this morning, and The husband made us coffee, which was nice.
The day went quickly. I'm still all congested. Blerg. And my stomach's giving me grief, too.

Not feeling too good in general, but so far it's been an OK evening.

1. So far so good tonight.
2. Decongestants.
3. The pretty tabby cat I saw on my way home tonight.

10:09PM - Sailing Away
We went out on the boat today. We had a really good time. Ed's daughter Jessie was along too and it was interesting meeting her. We actually made it out past the Whitestone Bridge, it was really neat going underneath.
Afterwards, we've bene watching law and order.
It should have been a wonderful and, and it was pretty good, but now I'm tense and miserable and anxious. I hate this, I really do.
Gratitude List:
1. Had a mostly good day.
2. Saw beautiful birds.
3. It didn't rain.
4. The little cold I've had since last week is better.
5. It's a short week this week because of the upcoming holiday.
6. All my pets.
crappy10:25AM - To catch up
Friday night after I posted got very hairy. A seriously bad night.
So Saturday morning was less than great. I couldn't find my glasses, had to call The Husband to help me look for them, and he found them.
Went to my meeting, which was helpful. Left at 12, though, to meet The Kid and Cody, and we headed into the zoo.
It wasn't enough time, of course. But we enjoyed what we did, and there were lots of baby animals. But budget cuts have forced the closing of the World of Darkenss! That sucks so bad! but we saw the Mouse House, which is similar, though only rodents, so there's none of the marvelous bats and little deer and things.
After the zoo we went to meet The Busband to see the new Transformers movie, but the earlier showings were sold out. He got 10:00 tickets and we ate first.
Going to get ready now to go sailing. More later.
Gratitude List:
1. The zoo,
2. Baby giraffe.
3. Sailing.
4. Things maybe can get better.
5. We did find my glasses.
6. The Kid.

But I'll update tomorrow. It has been very mixed.

11:04PM - Manhatten Manga Meeting
Just couldn't resist the alliteration of that. Anyway, the meeting was actually kind of fun.
And the best thing is going to something in the morning makes the rest of the day go very quickly.
Came home and watched the new show Virtuality. Interesting. Very strange. We'll see where it's going.
And then the episode of Numb3rs that Paul Michael Glasser's in. I still hink they worked in a couple of deliverate X-file references.
No Law and order tonight.
Tomorrow The Kid and Cody and I are going to the zoo, then we're meeting up with The Husband to see the new Transfoermers movie.
Gratitude List:
1. Peaceful day.
2. Seeing The Kid tomorrow.
3. Plans for tomorrow.
4. Two day weekend.
5. Fun TV.
