Gosh, I love my meds. Day 13 now, and I'm back to myself as of yesterday. Drinking much less- OK I don't have to get up early tomorrow. Shut up! Going to school this morning wasn't difficult. Staying up to read homework last night wasn't difficult. This morning, in fact, I was up a half-hour before I needed to be.

Eric has a new permanent job that pays decently, so he thinks we might ought to stay here a little longer than planned. We'll see. I think we need to get me that MFA and get me teaching. Professors don't make a lot, but they make a lot more than I do now, and a lot more than he does now. I think it's best for the future to do that. He's afraid he won't be able to find a decent job when we leave, but honestly, neither of us have ever had to search for more than a few months to find a decent job, and he'll have a degree by then. He says he was lucky. I say he's marketable and a good worker.

In other, more boring news, I got rid of the satellite TV service in a money-saving effort. Got rid of the DSL, too, and the phone. Moved it all to cable. Was going to save, like, $50 a month. But I wasn't happy with the cable TV. And I realized that probably 50% of what I watch is on broadcast since we got the HDTV. And the few cable-network channels I watched aren't worth the huge amount I was paying for them. So now we have cable internet, no pay-TV, and no home phone, and I'm saving, like $100 a month. And though I miss Doctor Who and Trading Spaces, that's about it. Yay economizing! I have huge antenna on the roof- that's enough.

That's all. Be good.
