All of the attorneys are doing a CLE in the conf room, so I'm just over here watching Top of the Lake on hulu.

Hi. At work doing a little work and a lot of scheduling appointments and making lists for the crazy busy week I’m anticipating starting Sunday. We are headed to ATL when I leave work in a few hours. MHs family wanted to to a get together before we made the move. Not ideal since it is the last weekend before the movers come, but I tried to get a lot done this week so it wouldn’t be so bad. We are heading straight to a Braves game tonight, BBQ tomorrow, and back home first thing Sunday so we have the whole day to work. I may be MIA, but will check in if I find a minute. Hope everyone has a great weekend! Have fun and be careful! |

nam2013 I haven't watched it yet, but I bet Wine Country is a good one. Dead to Me was good. Dead to me was better than I was expecting. I bet it will be cancelled like Santa Clarita diet. I'm still pissed that show was cancelled. It was amazing. On every post Netflix makes on FB it's always filled with people ranting about the cancellation. |

peachsmama, I hope she is ok. Those types of meds are not meant to be taken at one's discretion. You have to stick with the doctor's daily dose otherwise the body cannot maintain the proper level that it needs. Mh tries to screw with his dosage and he ends up dizzy and sick every time. Her mother needs to understand that depression won't just go away on it's own and yes, she may have to take the medication for the rest of her life, but at least she will have a life.

A is learning and just pissed that his parents dont seem to be trying to understand it and learn. It's not like she has a few dreary days. She had a plan in place to end her life when the counselor at school got involved.. |

When I first started my anti-depressants and was doing the partial hospitalization, there were a lot of people who had been doing fine until they decided to quit their meds or not take them as directed. The doctor was very clear that is pretty much going to guarantee a psychiatric crisis. I mean, these aren’t pain meds, I don’t understand the concern about a dependency? But it’s misplaced, and she is going to do far more harm than good by screwing with her meds like that. If SIL agrees to it, maybe your MIL can go to her next visit with her doctor and they can impress upon her that she is playing with fire. |

peachsmama I’m sorry she’s going through that. I remember being in a meeting with a really great school counselor who told the parents that children in that type of situation whose parents refuse to medicate will end up self-medicating with whatever means necessary. That statement changed the minds of those parents who had been refusing to treat their child with meds.

Sounds like they need to get over their own issues/stigma surrounding mental health before it irreparably harms their daughter. I'm just glad she has you guys in her corner to support her and stick up for her. |

peachsmama My coworker stopped taking her Zoloft for anxiety. I told her at the time it was not a good idea. 3 months later she had to be hospitalized. It took another 3 months on medication to get her back to where she was on meds. She said she'd never stop taking them again because what she experienced the 2nd time around was much worse than the first time.

We dont need to know what a second would bring.. |

Re: meds
I’ve battled depression since 16 and anxiety for as long as I remember. I started meds around 19. I would take them for a year, feel better, go off and do well for six months and then crash. I did this for so many years. I had never really thought of myself as being med adverse but I realized I viewed it as a temporary thing and not permanent. Since post party nice been on meds. Sometimes I’ve fallen and needed to change them or the dose but I would be so much worse off without. When I look back I think why would I stop something because I feel better when that helped me feel better. It’s illogical.
I missed the poof but I hope whoever is suffering gets the help they need.

I’ve had a slightly ingrown toenail for a couple of weeks. It will hurt a bit when pressure is on it which happens when I roll over at night. So I decided to dig it out last night. Big mistake. Woke up with a throbbing toe and suspected infection. Peroxide and ointment didn’t work, which is my usual go to. Now I’m soaking it in epsom salt. Why am I so annoying and do these things?

Hey. Did you guys hear that Kanye and Kim named the new baby Psalm? NMS. H had beach day at school this morning, which means they wore sundresses/shorts and sat on a beach towel for circle time. She had fun though. It’s been rainy most of the day, and probably will be all weekend. peachsmama I missed your poof but I hope whoever needs meds can get them. tgrimes and wineallthetime are you together right now?! |

I'm walking around my kitchen trying to break in new shoes/remind my post- broken ankle self how to walk in heels. A few people have suggested our CEO may pull me onstage during the keynote to talk about our financial reporting initiative and I may be more afraid of falling than of speaking in front of 500 people.

We have our big audit next week, going into travel season, intern season, law clerk season, etc. basically lots of shit going on. The budget analyst and I are basically glued to our desks all day trying to gather the past five years of documents. I can’t wait until next week is over!
It’s supposed to be a beautiful weekend and we are getting our cars detailed. I love getting them done after the winter. I told C we are going to spend as much time as possible outside this weekend. It’s been so rainy and gross so I feel like we need to milk the good days.

Longest day. J was the busiest kid and so darn chatty. I even had to sneak in a cat nap on the couch and that's when he tried to make a tunnel out of magnatiles on hardwood floors. We did eat outside for the first time which was lovely and hoping for an outdoor weekend. We will prob hit the REI sale and check out the bike I'm eyeing for j. Also looking forward to tball since it was rained out last week twice.

Graduation wasn't as hoosier as I was preparing for and it was quick. After a long day we are back in the car for a 2.5hr ride home. Barely anyone ate at the party and she had me order food from a fancy Italian restaurant so there was a ton of leftovers. It was nice to hang out with her her friends and family. I'm so glad we all get along that this could happen
