Good: I lost 7 lbs this first week. I don't expect to lose it all that quickly but it was nice to see some noticeable difference so quickly.

Good: I went to see a neurologist this week. He wasn't too worried about the abnormalities on my MRI. I have to get another MRI of my cervical spine and a follow up one in 6 months to see if the changes are progressing. The best thing I got out of the visit was samples of a migraine medication call Relpax. The amazing news is that it WORKED! Two times now I have had a migraine and within 40 minutes of taking the Relpax is was 90% better. I am really excited since this is the first medication I've tried that actually made a difference.

Bad: I have felt so depressed this week, especially today. I feel so lonely and at this rate I am starting to worry that I will never have friends again. I would give anything to be able to just have a friend to hang out with some time. I feel so isolated.

The mouse: The past few weeks I have been thinking I saw a mouse in the house. A few times I caught a glimpse of something black of the corner of my eye. This week we finally saw the mouse. He has decided it wants to live underneath my altar. Last night I got a good glimpse of him and he is so tiny, gray and cute. No way can I kill him. I know I need to get a live trap to try to put him outside but instead I left him a little bowl of water and some cereal out as an offering which he accepts readily.
