I spend most of my time at work and sleeping, like most people. The rest of the time I try to go fishing as much as possible. I like to cook. It has been over 100 degrees for the last 13 days, and so I am spending much less time outdoors than I would like. Mostly soaking up AC and watching TV and reading books and surfing the internet. Live alone, but I'm not lonely.
I am in a program at MD Anderson for research on Welbutrin and Verniculine. The study involves taking the pills for two weeks and then quitting. They did a functional MRI at the beginning before any medication and I'm due for one Monday (2 days from now) which will be after taking the medication for 2 weeks. There is a one in 3 chance that the meds are a placebo, but I don't think I'm taking the placebo, because I feel drugged and I am have the wierdest dreams ever. They call them vivid dreams, but the aren't really vivid or bad, just bizarre.
I spend most of my time alone with my pc, books, cooking, cleaning, sorting and more reading. Seems I have many addictions including coffee, chocolate, reading books, shopping thrift stores, searching the internet and answering emails. I like to walk a lot and carry my supplies in my backpack such as water (2 bottles) munchies, music. bandaids for my feet rain poncho, bus tickets and debit card in case I find a treasure.. If it's very hot I pour some of the water on my head. I will be doing arts and crafts soon at the seniors centre.

This week’s question may have a lot of guilt around it but I want you to be honest with the support group and yourselves; put the guilt aside. Keep in mind we are all growing and learning together now let’s just look without attachment. This week’s question is:
How am I spending my time? What do I do, who am I with, where am I, etc.? What does a typical week look like?
This question will lead into next week’s question but it is also interesting to discuss in its own right.
