Jeff's Journal

I'm feeling so well now that I'm starting to wonder if retiring was a mistake. On the other hand, the reason I didn't retire sooner was there were other times I felt well and I thought I was going to stay that way but didn't. I suppose if I really am better I could go back to work either at my old... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm worried about money. It's silly. I have enough to pay my bills comfortably but for some reason I still worry. Definitely have to talk to Suzanne (my shrink) about that when I see her Tuesday. New romantic prospect, Cheryl from church. Appears to be single, I think we're close in age and she has... Sign in to see full entry.

Well here I am at the library with Lisa and Missy. We always have fun together but I don't like having to drive all the time. Lisa's working on getting her license but it's been slow going. I'm not sure she really wants a driver's license. Called the credit card company to have one of my credit... Sign in to see full entry.

So Holly broke up with her boyfriend. Hmmm. Probably have to give her some time but she's definitely a strong prospect. Slow getting started today. Slept off and on this morning. It's probably the medicine. Dr Zhang has begun gradually reducing it so that should help. Sign in to see full entry.

Forgot to bring my greeting card notebook to the library with me. Frustrating. Oh well it's a chance to work on other kinds of writing. Finally went and got my driver's license replaced. It turned out to be a good thing I waited because I got a chance to renew it at the same time since I'm due to... Sign in to see full entry.

Dr. Zhang reduced my Seroquel which is a good thing. She said I might be able to go down to just Zoloft and Lithium after awhile. Slept most of the day, the medicine is making me sleepy. Still haven't gotten my first retirement check, maybe I'll call and check tomorrow. Plans to go to Charles Town... Sign in to see full entry.

Feeling pretty good right now after resting this morning. If I need to rest I'd really rather do it in the afternoon though. That way I've felt like I've done something before I rested. Got an email from Anita. Just hearing from her gets me excited. She seemed to be pushing me away a little but... Sign in to see full entry.

Spent two hours reading the Sunday paper. One of the joys of being retired. I think things with Lisa are fading. I just don't quite feel the zip I used to feel with her. Maybe it's just the cold weather. Anyway with Anita seemingly out of the picture for now(I haven't heard from her in about six... Sign in to see full entry.

This colder than usual weather is causing my depression to act up a bit. I canceled plans to go out with Melanie, David and Jessica because of it, although I wasn't thrilled about the idea to begin with. I'm the only one in that quartet with a car and I wasn't wild about driving everyone around. For... Sign in to see full entry.

Got twelve greeting card ideas written. I would like to have gotten more than that, I'll spend a little more time on it next time. Another long chat with Gloie on facebook. She's as boy crazy as a schoolgirl. Going to try to get up for the meditation service tomorrow. 7am is early for me but I can... Sign in to see full entry.
