Finished wall
I know I tend to be a broken record, but work still sucks, but there is a brief glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. My massive work project is almost finished and it's also almost Disney-time, so meds or not, life is looking up. But knowing my luck, I'm not going to get too optimistic.
I finally got all my April A to Z cross stitch projects framed and put them on a wall where there is room to grow:
And here they are in order:
I still haven't done any stitching, but I have FINALLY finished a massive diamond painting:
Granted, it's not the Aaron's Crazy Thinking Putty that the therapist wanted me to do, but at least I managed to keep my hands and my mind occupied in my "down time" instead of focusing on the negative. Don't get me wrong, I still have a head full of negative, but at least I'm managing it better.
I really need to say thank you to all my blog friends who encouraged me to make it through. Normally, I'm not big on human interaction during these episodes, but you guys really did help me along. Hopefully, things will get back to normal soon and I can go back to supporting you guys!

Have a great time during your Disney trip.
Your diamond painting looks amazing!
Good therapy for your hands I'm sure.
I Googled that crazy putty stuff. As far as I could tell it's exactly the same as child's putty but with cutesy packaging and a huge price tag! Crafting is much better for the soul if not the Pocket.
Hope you have a fabulous trip.
I did see a counsellor a few times following a bit of a family crisis and I really liked the idea that someone was being paid to listen to me drone on and on about my problems without trying to cheer me up, like my friends did! But she didn't advise me to play with any sort of putty.
A new word a day could be fun, you could learn a new expletive to call her each session!
