Topic: My Daily Personal Life, by Felissa M. Garcia

I'm so sorry I haven't written for several days. There have been many days since Coco died that I have been too sad to even write. It has been just as difficult to get any work done because I am so so sad about Coco. I never thought that losing a pet would be so difficult. Part of my problem too is that I just don't give myself time to either heal or feel bad so I've been going to work every day but have not been able to do much. I am so stressed out though because I have a Brief-in-Chief due to the New Mexico Court of Appeals this coming Friday. If you know what that kind of brief is, you know why I'm stressed out. If you don't, that's better for you because then you won't be stressed out with me! For some reason I have been procrastinating so much on this. I think it's because I'm feeling a little overwhelmed because I have to exercise every day and I want to make sure I'm doing everything right on this new diet I'm on with Fit Weight Loss Center. They are so great over there.

We have been changing the house around, moving furniture and changing wall colors. That's been good because it has taken my mind off of Coco and helping move me away from getting depressed. For those of you who know me really well, I have had a problem with depression my whole life. I go through periods of months at a time where I can't motivate myself to do anything. Those are the times when I gain weight and don't get anything done. Then the depression thankfully lifts and I'm able to get SO SO much done and I'm able to get back on track with my health and my weight. This last year has been very different, however, from all the years before in that I haven't had depression come down on me the way it always has before in my life. One reason is because I am in love and married with the man of my dreams. I have loved this guy since the very first moment I saw his gorgeous face. The second reason is that I have been seeing a VERY great doctor who is younger and more on the cutting edge of depression medications and he has been doing a very good job of monitoring my moods. I am very grateful to him and thankful to God that I have the blessings of a good doctor. Finding a good doctor is as hard as finding a good lawyer. Both are really hard to find but I've thankfully found a great doctor.

Anyway, for the last few days I've been fighting off this depression that's trying to bring me down again. I don't know if it's because of Coco dying or because it is my brain chemicals or what the heck but I'm fighting really hard to keep it away because I love when I'm feeling good and when I can be happy and nice at work and at home. The weird thing about my depression is that I have nothing to be depressed about. My life is what I would call just about perfect. I have a great family, a great Law Firm, a WONDERFUL staff, a gorgeous loving and caring husband, happy kids, beautiful home, and everything else that could be called great. I wonder if there is anybody else out there who goes through this type of moods as well. Hmmmm......

Oh, by the way, my daughter Zoya was admitted into the following colleges and we are SO proud of her: University College London, King's College in London, Wellesley College, UT, Texas Tech and.......drum roll..........STANFORD UNIVERSITY in California!!!!!!!!!!!! We are SO excited I can't even begin to tell you how proud and happy we are for her. She really deserves it she has worked so hard during high school and has sacrificed so much "fun" time to be able to be admitted into such a prestigious college. Wow. That's all I can say. We are planning on taking her in a couple of weeks to go check out the campus and of course make our way to San Francisco, my most favorite city in the world. I love San Francisco. My favorite restaurant in San Francisco is The Cliff House Restaurant. It's really great. I love walking through the streets, on the wharf, the smells and sights are remarkable. I can't imagine anybody living there and then moving away. You'd have to be crazy, right?

Well, I should close for now since the kids are in here wanting my attention and this has been a long session. Thanks for reading. I'm glad when I hear that people are reading this blog. Not that it's great or breathtaking or anything. I'm just sharing and I'm glad that you're enjoying it, if you are enjoying it that is! See you very soon. Felissa M. Garcia
