I've had a sinus infection for almost a week now. I just woke up from a nap, and I think my immune system is finally beating this thing. Hopefully I'll be better by tomorrow morning.
Its been a month since I last posted to my wall, and I'm glad to report that I am doing much better. I started seeing a therapist, and scheduled to have myself evaluated for ASD. I will not be seen for my evaluation until next march, but that was a big step for me. Not really sure how helpful the therapy is at this point, but I'm giving it my best try.
I broke up with my girlfriend today. I'm having a pretty rough time. To be honest, the reality of this hasn't fully set in yet. I still love her but we weren't doing well together. I'm very sad. I know she is hurting too, and that makes me more sad than anything else. I feel a bit lost at the moment.
Over the weekend I can spend time being engaged with those who are replying to my thread, and I will reply to at least one thread I am not the OP of. I will take the time to be thoughtful in my replies to others, putting as much care into my replies as I will be putting into my discussion posts. These are the goals I've set for myself.
I think I've figured some things out, and I felt like articulating them here for my own sake. I want to create a meaningful discussion post at least once a week. I may end up saving topics and fleshing out discussions ahead of time, and I'll try posting discussions on the same day every week, like Thursday or Friday.
Busy work out of the way, I'm patiently waiting to be diapered before bed time. As I went about my routines today I've been thinking to myself about what my first discussion post will be about, and what I think it means to be a good community member. How can I contribute to my community? How often should I post? How should I engage with others on this platform?
Work today was nice. The weather has been beautiful this week. Its not too hot, and there has been a nice breeze blowing in from the south east. I have the luxury of looking forward to a long weekend because my job is generous enough to grant its employees an alternate schedule for the beginning of summer. After my commute home I took a much needed shower and worked on some of my chores to welcome the weekend.
