Huh, Maybe the Meds Are Working

I've been on selexa for about 3 weeks now. It seems like it's working pretty well. At least, when I found out 2 of the girls in my buddy group are pregnant, I was genuinely thrilled for them. That's a step in the right direction, if I do say so myself.

We've been in the process of painting our bedroom for the past 3 weeks as well. Actually we started in December, but it's had to be done in steps because we're doing it ourselves and we're not professionals (duh). G's been doing most of the painting since my school schedule makes hard for me to get any real work done before I go and by the time I get home, he's already been at it for an hour or so and me painting too would just get in his way. He hates doing stuff like this (I'm usually the handy person around the house) but it needed the painting really badly and the only way it would get done is if we either hired someone to do it and had the landlord reimburse us, or do it ourselves and have him reimburse us for the cost of supplies. Guess which option was way easier for us to do financially? So the apartment has been in a major disarray because of the painting and it's been driving us crazy, but most especially G who can't stand clutter. We would definitely get testy with each other, but we were doing remarkably well with being civil until I got sick with a cold on Monday. I get very cranky and short-tempered when I'm sick. So I bitched more, he bitched more because of it, which made me bitch more because he was bitching at me when I was sick. Luckily after being in different rooms for about 30 minuets we made up and got over it.

I like it so much better when I get over that shit quicker. Before I would stew about it for hours even though I knew it was just blowing off steam. I just wouldn't be able to let it go. I seem to be having a little better grasp at that now. It feels kinda good. Let's hope this lasts for awhile.
