The Story of Brandi

I woke up at 6 this morning. I tried to lie back down for a few minutes, but I was wide awake. That's a new feeling for me, so it's kind of exciting. I hopped up and got ready. I even made pancakes. Of course, then Jayden decided to get up early, too. Ahh. I'll never get to work much in the mornings, I guess. Anyway, I'm happy to be up and moving. I think I'm finally shaking the malaise.

After a couple of weeks, I have returned. We didn't move to Georgia after all. Brian was promised a raise, so we stayed. He's in the new position - working himself ragged - but we have yet to see the raise. I can't even think about it. The whole ordeal infuriates me.

I'm starting a master's degree program in public administration on March 6. I knew that the MBA program wasn't for me, and when I finished in December, I had no desire to go back. I'll be going to Walden University. So far, everything with them looks great. I've been really impressed with all of the information and with my admissions counselor, Stan.

I'm also working on a book right now. It's my main project these days. I'm trying to get a handle on my depression. I'm taking a massive cocktail since the problem isn't your run-of-the-mill post-partum depression. I'm apparently nuttier than I thought, so I'm taking serious medications. I've been on them for right at a week now, and I feel much better.
