My HVAC guy came today and fixed my blower.  The fan was loose and rattling.  It is so nice and quiet right now.  I also got some laundry and some dishes done.  I still have more to go on both, but it is nice to be making progress.  I am going to have to switch insurance soon since my Cobra is about to run out.  I am not sure what my deductibles and things will be, so I am not sure if I will continue visiting my psychologist.  I finally set up a doctor's appointment before I switch insurance.  I want to talk to him about getting off the anti-depressants.  I haven't used the anti-anxiety or the sleep aids in a while.  It seems longer than it really has been--it has probably been about a month for the anti-anxiety and a couple weeks for the sleep aids.  The anti-anxiety pills I used as sleep aids every now and again--they were enough to get me to fall asleep, but not enough to make me sleep 8 hours and still be groggy.  There was a time a month or so ago when I forgot to take my anti-depressants and my mood really went down hill.  Things are going so well right now that I don't want an artificial downer because I am coming off a medicine.

I am now also stressing a little over accepting the position offered to me too quickly.  I didn't have a chance to talk about benefits or vacation or anything.  I am confused how it works to do this contract to hire process.  I am planning to talk to them about some things I want when I transition, so we will see what happens.  My biggest issue is getting more vacation.  They start at 2 weeks to the best of my knowledge and I want at least 3 weeks--more if they don't have enough holiday time.  I believe people need to have down time and the older you are the more quality down time you need to get.

Right now I am sitting in my La-Z=Boy recliner with the heat and massage going.  My back was hurting most of today.  I am not sure why, but this is really feeling good.  I think it might of been how I slept.  Between the running nose and the noise from the HVAC system, I haven't slept so well the past two nights.  Hopefully tonight will be better.  I will let you know.
