again..news and such
DATE: Mar 17 2008, 1:42 pm / MOOD: Tired

so, i went to the doctor today, found out i am 2 centimeters dilated, but i need to be 10 so that's not much. haha if he doesn't come on his own i am scheduled to go into the hospital thursday night and be induced friday morning. also, the doctor still says he can't estimate size or weight or anything. my mother says this is because he doesn't want to scare me. lol so i am anticipating a pretty big baby. in other events, i am actually feeling a little less depressed. still feel sh*tty physically though. haha now excuse me while i pass out...

news from alyssaland
DATE: Mar 16 2008, 2:52 pm / MOOD: Tired

hello folks. just wanted to sayy...lots of people have been leaving me comments and i have neglected to reply. it's to the point where i am mixing people up and can't remember who said what and when and yadda-yadda. i apologize. i am extremely tired and my mind is never focused lately. i can only sleep for an hour at a time...i think that's one of the causes for this. so, an update to anyone wondering, my labor will be induced this week..could be anytime between tomorrow and thursday. i will find that out at the doctor in the morning. in all honesty i've been feeling very reclusive lately. i don't even really want to talk to people. that sounds quite awful, but it's true. i have no idea why. i'm very paranoid lately about the baby. i don't think i will be a good parent, or even a decent one. i've never even held a baby before. i'm even getting anxious about all the people who will be calling and dropping by and ohhing and awweing over him, i really wish they would all just go away. it's already annoying having everyone constantly talking about how they can't wait to babysit him and come over and stay with me to help. i don't want all these people hovering around me. i've tried very hard ever since i had to stop taking my medication to be social and positive and happy but i'm getting very sick of it all. there are only a few individuals who i feel comfortable around anymore. what's worse is, my husband wants me to breastfeed for atleast two weeks which means i cant take my medication for even longer. i have a feeling i am going to NEED it. i already need it. i don't want anything bad to happen in the mean time. hopefully i will feel better soon. maybe i'm just having a bad week. i don't know. i will stop rambling now.

well..some more great news!
DATE: Mar 01 2008, 2:27 pm / MOOD: Angry

my landlord came by today, and joey and i have until the end of the week to give him a months rent ($1100), or else we will be kicked out. right now we've been leeching off our family just for food..and are behind on all the bills as well. luckily my mother has offered to give us $300 so far. the only program that can help us we will not be eligible for until the baby is born...and the emergency rental assistance program is "too low on funds" to help us either. i am very silently angry over this. i worked as hard as i could for as long as i could....if i could i would go stand on a street corner for money right now. so, uh, wish us luck i guess.

some old poems, since i cannot write anymore
DATE: Feb 21 2008, 8:15 am / MOOD: Bored

the cure comes with consequence

it's pretty sad that i am just what they said i would become

it's pretty bad that i can't ever seem to go the long run

everything, everywhere is only temporary

so how can i pretend that what i feel is what i'm sharing?

this blue paper it looks better with my tears to stain it

and memories of melancholy times can't rearrange it

the sun has left it's cloudy grave, and it is far too bright now

i don't know who i am with all this light to shed on.

 

red gleaming pride,

 red gleaming pride

i once used to force my hand to feed you

black broken smile,

 black broken smile

i once used to force my heart to heal you

 

but now i am healed.

 

 

the cold city.

there was a city,

 in the darkest of interstate

driving so far away

just to see the sights.

and i remember the winter frost,

lost under the parking lot

all the beauty of death and love

and every leaveless tree.

burning up the highway

even though there was snow

helping my eyes to leak

helping my mind to grow

i never mentioned this life before,

it was under the sheets forever more

but morning has broken through the black

and now i am ready.

spring has sprung

and left me in shambles

hating the sunshine,

warm against my skin

every pore flowing open

every breath getting difficult to draw

this season is grating

against my patience again.

 

ziprasidone

truth is a buried organ

in the belly tomb of life

and i'm tired of repetative surgery

trying to find the light

 

so i glance upon a large reflection

of my face in the black of night

i look like someone tore me apart

glued me back together,

with the lines not quite right

 

cracked and trembling like a mosiac

in a ten-ton truck on a bumpy road

and my heart feels just the same

doctor says anti-psychotics

might change my mind

lighten the load

 

but these itty-bits of hydrochloride

seem to make me sick

like a sputtering faucet

that dirty's up the sink

 

and i reach out for your vocal chords

i need to hear your voice

but the silence wraps me up so tight

like a blanket of suffocation.

 

another pill,

another book read

another life lead

about to end.

 

may the fabric of my mind endure

the needle and thread

that swims haphazard

sewing up loose ends.

old rhyme
DATE: Feb 19 2008, 3:34 pm / MOOD: Bored

 what day of the week were u born?

i was born on friday the 13th. lol 

 

 Monday's child is fair of face.

Tuesday's child is full of grace.

Wednesday's child is full of woe.

Thursday's child has far to go.

Friday's child is loving and giving.

Saturday's child works hard for a living,

But the child who is born on the Sabbath Day

Is bonny and blithe and good and gay.

how ironical
DATE: Feb 17 2008, 10:25 am / MOOD: Anxious

well....exactly a week ago i went on maternity leave from my job. i was looking forward to being able to relax and such...but each day i have felt worse and worse ever since i left. my anxiety is getting bad again, and so is my depression. i thought leaving the stress of work would be good for me, but instead i have all this time to think about things too much and i'm getting myself all out of whack. i guess when i was working my mind was totally preoccupied with my job responsibilities, and it also forced me to talk to people, on the phones and in person. already i have stopped wanting to go out to public places, which is the way i was before i got my job. it could also be mixed with anxiety for my upcoming labor and delivery...which has got me nervous of course...but 80% of it is because of my job. i miss it so much already..i want to just drive there now! i never thought i would feel that way, as i am a lazy person in alot of ways...

i just hope i can make it through this paranoia/anxiety/depression until the baby is born and i can get back on my meds :(

bird talk
DATE: Jan 31 2008, 6:54 pm / MOOD: Sad

it's funny. i think i had a mild panic attack today. i was cleaning the exotic birds yesterday.. (which i do on wednesdays and thursdays only) and a gothan cockatoo named patsy nipped me lightly on my finger while i was moving her cage. it hurt a little, but it made me upset that she even went after me in the first place...as i have never been bitten in the whole 8 mths ive worked there. i got over it though, rather quickly. 

today, i was again cleaning them, and an umbrella cockatoo named casey bit me. hard. broke the skin on my index finger. i totally flipped out and started crying. i ran into the bathroom and tried to compose myself...but i couldnt stop shaking. i havent been that emotionally worked up in a long time..it was alarming. i dont even know why i reacted that way. a bird bit me...oh well.

i know its petty and stupid, but i didnt finish cleaning casey's cage. i fed him of course...but i just left his cage half dirty. i dunno whats wrong with me...maybe its my hormones... :(
