Well it's Day 1. I can truthfully say I think that the Mr is thankful that I have started medication. I know he is worried about my health and well being, because it makes his life easier if I am not a basket case. Who would have thought huh? Anyway...
I spent the day with more concentration today than I have in a long time. I was up beat. I had good energy. I chair danced to music from the 1990's. All genres. We did a little Dr. Dre, some Eminem, A little Lou Bega, some hair metal and some pop music. It was fantastic. My boss came past my office when I was bebopping along to Slim Shady, and she looked at me funny but I think she was glad to see me upbeat so she was quiet. I was more responsive to a co worker which threw him a bit off guard. It's always fun to do that on occasion. Keeps them on their toes. I finally hired staff for the front office! I have everything in for them and they start next week. Now I have to get their tasks in order for them. I am not thrilled about being a boss, as I have NO patience sometimes, so I try to be pretty laid back. And thankfully for me there will be a bit more testosterone in my office. The perk of being a hiring manager. I have a positive focus which in the field I am in, can be considered one of the most important personality traits.
The biggest change I noticed is that even though I didn't starve myself, I felt no real desire to eat all day. I am normally a stress eater and it shows. A lot. I didn't need it today and that is the best part.
I am cautiously optimistic. I was also shown today, how very incredibly lucky I am to be working where I do. I had lunch with some friends who still work there and they tell me what has been going on. It's sad and it's heart breaking. That put a few things into perspective as well.
That's it for today's update. I think I am going to go do some baking.
Thanks for stopping by.

Every journey starts with the first step..
To every journey there is a beginning and there is an end. Yes, that is pretty cliche. At least in this case it is appropriate.
Hello! My name is Kimberly and I am a blogging newbie. I have tried to start blogs in the past but I never followed through because I never really felt that inspired to keep going. I am not sure of why I have decided to start another one but lets go with it shall we?
A little introduction about me, I am a 35 year old mother of an amazing little girl who is known as the Princess. I live with her and my other half, a man I have known for over half my life and he is affectionately known as the Mr. We also have a little dog, Daisy. If you really want to get specific about living creatures that we want in our home, we have Barney and Betty Beta Fish, but I won't be talking about them much...
I live in Colorado. I have always lived in Colorado. I will continue to always live in Colorado, unless I finally get the chance to live in London, but I don't see that ever happening. I work in the medical field as an administrator in a residency and fellowship training program. My work takes up a lot of my time, but I love it and I work with great people, unless they annoy me, which happens frequently when you are the administrator for 5 programs filled with doctors.
I have a reason for starting this blog. Within the course of life, there are ups and downs. For a long time, like the last 7 years there have been more downs than ups. I have finally decided to start taking care of myself and I am trying to figure out if there really is better living through pharmacokenetics. I tried taking a antidepressant/anti-anxiety medication called Celexa and that was not helpful. So I am now running with the big dogs. I have been started on a medication called Wellbutrin. Something of a wonder-drug for many different types of patients so I wanted to see how it changed me, how it helps me function and to see if I get to wear a cape and save the world!
This blog is to tell about some of the adventures in my life. My views on topics, and just general every day kind of stuff. There will be lots of humor, sarcasm and general nuttiness. Please realize that while I will try to keep this clean, there will be foul language occasionally. (Okay maybe more than occasionally but I will try to keep it creative) There will be serious posts and bad days. More than anything, I hope to gain more perspective on my life and maybe someone can read this and get help for themselves too. Or at least a good chuckle or two.
Happy reading! Welcome to the Nut House. I am the Head Cashew
