Being a grown-up or something

I went from temp for a year to perm. I work in MC still because I like it; in the Business & Economics Department, which I know nothing about; as an Administrative Aide II, "running the show" (apparently [which makes sense, seeing that I'm the only one here at all times]).
I have my own office, with a half-wall that divides mine with a part-time assistant's office. I have two large windows, a big desk, two bulletin boards. The windows are crucial. 3 weeks on the job. I'm very happy so far.
The AC is strong, so it's always cold in here; a perfect excuse for me to bring my contigo thermos and drink all of my random teas that have been lying around forever.

I drink caffeine now. Mostly aforementioned tea. I love coffee but it makes me jittery and ADHD as of now. I've never been a regular caffeine-imbiber in my life before now.

Can't. stop. ordering. dresses. Ugh, Modcloth. You will be the end of me. Give me gift certificates?

Probs eating too many sweets. Whatev, idc.

Started drinking regularly. Ha. My job in the guv'mint drove me to it (no, seriously.) and now I'm a regular connoisseur. Also (DRY) hard cider. Ugh again. Discovered local gin distillers! Bought George Clooney's tequila! Smuggled gin home from Colorado!
Subsequently decided to drink only on weekends. $$$$.

Sam and I got into bingeing on shows. The Wire, The Tudors, Breaking Bad, Twin Peaks, Boardwalk Empire, Mad Men, Adventure Time, etc. It's beautifully unproductive and sometimes inebriated.

Started seeing a psychiatrist forreal. Added Lamotrigine and Propranolol, and then hiked everything. It's been a month now on this combination/dosage, and I feel pretty good. A lot better.

Went to an AFP party. Cool stuff. Conflicting feelings about her but I like her.

And oh yeah, completely and wholly in love with my Sam.
