Wordpress has really made things better, has it not? I totally am enjoying watching you work on your blog every couple of days, and adding improvements... so awesome! As far as the list, I agree with Kristin, every day counts. I think that people like us don't pat our own backs enough, when in reality we should. I wonder if it's a woman thing or not.

My primary doc prescribed it to me while I was taking the zoloft (prescribed by pdoc) and it threw me into a suicidal episode. I got out of it as soon as the wellbutrin stopped.

Marie, if you’re sleeping off and on, then it might be even more important to keep track. i’m sleeping off and on in the afternoons and the pdoc wants to know why–like, am i falling asleep during the day because i’m not sleeping enough at night, or if it’s for some other reason.

kshippychic, whoa! do they make purple stars? yeah, purple would be great! i’m also an avid listmaker (whether or not i get to cross things off of them) and zit picker. :)

dan, that’s what happens to me, too.

I know if I don't have a list in my head of things I need to get done, I wander incessently and then suddenly it's 2 oclock and I'm wondering where the time has gone. This is a pretty solid idea.
