I keep coming here looking for a new post

Then I snap out of it and realize I need to write a new post if I want to see one.

I haven't had much of a muse for blogging.

The truth is, I haven't felt particularly well. I've seen my doctor and we're working on a few things. I'll see her again in a month for a more thorough assessment.

Emotionally, I've had some really bad days lately. This is to be expected, I suppose, given that my brain is adjusting to no antidepressants. On a bad day I'm not nice to be around, and I know it. I'm hoping this rough patch is just a phase of my withdrawal.

Yesterday was Amanda's last day of school. I've never been so happy to see a school year end. Though she just completed 10th grade I'll be enrolling her at the community college in the fall as a regular freshman. She tested into college English and math, so she's good to go. By the time her high school classmates are getting their diplomas, she will have, hopefully, completed her first two years of college. I hope it's a good move for her. High school just wasn't working out.

In other good news, my chapter 13 bankruptcy, stemming from my first marriage and subsequent divorce, was discharged (paid in full) on June 1. I am debt free. I cannot describe how free that feels.

Debt freedom is awesome...hope to get back to that status soon (except my mortgage of course)!

So sorry to hear that you've been feeling ass-y - but congrats on your debt-free state! And congrats to Amanda for making it through 10th grade!

I'm going through similar shit with the meds and wonky emotions. Hope that Court is being as gentle and supportive as Karlene has been with me. Honestly, I have no doubt that she is.

Yay on the debt shit. FINALLY!!!!

Hang in there my friend. ((hugs))

Hoping that this week is better for you than the last was!

Are you guys doing anything to celebrate being debt free?

We've been too busy lately for celebrations. I'm just relieved this nightmare is behind me.

And you know how it is. You find yourself in a good place financially, thinking you can cruise for a while, and then life shifts under you. In our case, Amanda is starting college in the fall, two years ahead of schedule, so there's tuition to be paid and books to be bought.

And then there is our dream of owning a quiet place on a dozen acres or so in BFE. That's about five years down the road.

Congrats on the debt elimination! That is really freeing. Hang in with the mood stuff, we are pulling for you.

How awesome that you are finally debt free. I imagine that would feel beyond belief fantastic.

I hope in long run that med free works out for you. I know that more than anything BP would like to be med free, but that will never happen.

I'm sitting here with "white knuckle syndrome". Going through an unexpected, nasty, costly divorce myself at the moment. Thanks for letting me know that even if things take a turn for the worse, and I end up under water, I will eventually be able to pull out of it, and things do in fact get better. Congrats on your new debt-free-ness, and your daughter's achievements.
