New Year/2011 Recap

Since I'm still out of work on disability, I've had a hard time coming up with something to write about.  I've been trying to focus on my health, but really I'm home bored most of the time.  I've done some wedding planning, watched about 293845720372435 episodes of Criminal Minds, spent hours on Pinterest/Etsy, scrapbooked and researched my new diagnosis' for HOURS.  Since the last time I blogged about my mental illness, I was evaluated by a psychiatrist and diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Depression and OCD.  So, now that we have that figured out, I get to be subject to a nice little cocktail of meds that I'm still getting used to.  They make me feel dizzy, have blurred vision and just, well...numb. Hopefully I'll get back on the right track and I finally have a return to work date set.

But until then, I found this on JeeYoung's blog and thought it would be a nice distraction from the numbness.
