Terrorist Attacks

2005-07-07T08:41:00.000-07:00

It is terrible to see the destruction that was done to the people of London. How can anyone justify killing innocent people? These people didn't do anything to influence the G-8 summit. They were people just like us.

It's been one month

since Junior disappeared. I still miss him so much it hurts. Everytime I look outside I expect to see him running up to the door.

I have had a hard time working since then. I decided to go to a psychiatrist - I felt horrible. He diagnosed me as bipolar. I guess I already knew that. Actually I think I may be borderline as well. I'm now taking lithium and cymbalta to help control my moods. I've also been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. The cymbalta is supposed to help that as well. I have an appointment with a therapist on the 13th of this month.

I'm not sure how I feel about all of this. I was able to finish 4 scrapbook pages in Alex's album last week. I still can't concentrate on books for very long.

I wish I felt well.

Junior

My cat Junior got lost over the weekend. He went out Sunday night and hasn't been back. I'm sick with worry over this. Where could he be? Is he hurt somewhere and calling for me? Was he picked up by someone? Or was he injured and died?

I know it is strange to people who aren't animal lovers to understand how you can be so distraught over a cat. They say "It's just an animal. Not your child!" But that isn't true. Junior is my child. I was there the moment he was born. We're the only family he has ever had. I know what each of his meow's mean. I'm the one he came to for love and affection, when he was hurt or sick; I'm his mother.

Well, things were okay today. Luke was still mad at me about yesterday, but he seemed to get over it. The strange thing is that he treats me like a child and expects me to get over it too.

I did work on some collages today - I did some package tape transfers. I did one as a tribute to St. Therese the other one was for my Waking Up class.

I had forgotten about PhotoFriday, I posted my image today - here it is:

I took this pic last year on Lake Ray Hubbard. Luke and I had gone out alone. It was a nice day. Hopefully we can have more of them.

I just uploaded a set of my x-mas altered cd's. I'm hoping to eventually use them as x-mas cards for family.

Another Monday

This past weekend was a little rough. We had some trying times as a family, but I thing we may be over the worst of it all.

In response to this I did a couple of new collages - they are posted at my personal site - www.dianaschultz.com.

The first one I did is called Trapped. Here it is:

The second one I did on Sunday after confession. I don't have a title for it yet.

By this time I was feeling a little better.

I've also added one of my scrapbooks - Roles of a Lifetime - I made it as a gift for my mother. You can visit it at http://dianaschultz.com/gallery/scrapbooks/roles/index.html

Today

2005-05-05T12:31:00.000-07:00

It was raining this morning, but now the sun is out. I've worked all morning on the phone and I've re-done my website - www.dtswebdevelopment.com. My assignment for tomorrow got cancelled so it looks as if I will be able to leave for Houston County Lake earlier tomorrow.

I want to get my personal site up and going, but have run out of inspiration. Maybe after I eat something . . .

This is my first experience blogging.
