Changes to Getting Around Town

I have lived in this town now for about 14 years and the whole time I mostly get around by public transportation. Some may say that they don’t care for it, but it does work for me and it saves on gas. Well, after all these years, the bus system decided to change all their routes.  Not only that, but they are also changing the numbers of the buses from simple to complicated, like they have in the Los Angeles area. I know change is good, but it will be a major change for everyone involved. For instance, as of right now, I take two buses to get to my destination and back. This change will take place October 7th and my way to  get there will involve taking three buses and crossing unsafe areas. Honestly, why can’t they just leave things alone!? Instead, why not leave the current routes the way they are and just add to them? Oh well, we’ll see how it goes. It’ll be interesting.

Working on me!

For the past couple of weeks, I have been dealing with a ton of emotions, from being happy to being sad and upset. I don't really understand what was wrong with me last week, but I felt as though everyone hated me, but it turned out it was my own insecurities. For the longest time, I've stayed away from medication for depression; thinking I can fight this on my own. I would be doing well, but only for a little while and I'd go back to feeling sad again. I finally gave in, because I am stubborn as a mule. I saw my Doctor about last week and he put me on one medication for it. Starting Thursday,  I took one that night, Friday, Saturday and Sunday night and every day, I woke up feeling very crappy. I decided not to take one Monday night and woke up feeling much better Tuesday. Because of this, I called my Dr. to let him know and ended up seeing him again yesterday. He put me on another type and it ends up working well with me. I don't care to be sad all the time, that's not me, so I hope that with this little bit of help, I can go back to being who I'm supposed to be.
