VBS: I'm teaching music at VBS at St. John's this week. The theme is a campout. The theme song is Kum Ba Ya. So I've gotten to sing that song SEVERAL times this week. The preschoolers and kindergarteners have another song... the first and second graders have another song... and the third and fourth graders have another song. So I really only had to learn four songs. Dealing with so many kids in such a short period of time wears on me. I'm just not a kid lover. Looking forward to the week being over. Only one more night to go.
Work: My new job is going pretty well. I'm working on the IT budget. Not by myself, thank God. It's enough to keep me busy though. I'm really happy to be back on the IT contract. I'm also spending some time studying for my Security + certification. It's a bit overwhelming, but it gets a little more manageable with every day that goes by.
Health Insurance/401(k) - I've been trying for a couple of weeks now to enroll in both of these with my new company. I finally got my health insurance lined out yesterday. I've already racked up $1,200 against my new $4,000 deductible. I'd like to see it counted. So I need to figure that out yet. And I need to call about managing my 401(k). But I'm working on it.
Mental Health - I haven't had a depressive day since early in December. That's six months depression free. Six months! My meds are definitely working. Robin has taught me several things to keep my mind focused on being more positive and dealing with stressors better. That's definitely working too. Here's hoping I can go another six months!
Cats - Mom was on vacation this week so I watched her cats this week. So I got some feline therapy each morning and afternoon. Yea, me! Time spent with Barnaby and Elliott is good for me.
