Sorry, didn't mean to freak you out. To counter the freak out my friend who convinced me to write the blog once was talking to someone at his church about bipolar and cyclothymia and difficulty getting diagnosed and the guy started describing my blog and how he liked the different viewpoints on this particular blog. My friend said "do you mean Master of Irony?" and the guy said "yep!". So that was completely random and really fun.

I've also met some amazing people blogging. I was able to help a mom as she learned to parent a child with bipolar and as she developed some things have been mentioned on some really neat media. Her kid is doing well now and I hope that some of it is because I was able to describe some of what he experienced. I've met people who are healing from growing up with untreated mentally ill parents and people who just were curious and have learned a lot they never would have known. I've blogged from inside IP 3 times, always interesting. I've met someone in similar circumstances to me, same career, same treatment resistance, different approaches to life. Lots of good stuff I should have included.

The sewing is a mess. My nieces are going to Disney in a month and the goal was to make them each a couple of Disney dresses. But to practice since I haven't sewed in a while I tried to make a dress the older one has been requesting for a while. It's actually fabric she had a dress from at 2 years old but she doesn't remember that dress. I've made it in 2 different sizes and don't think either is going to fit. If I'm really lucky the big one will fit her and the smaller one her sister but I'll never get that lucky. I've had more errors than I should have had on 7 dresses with this simple pattern and keep having to buy more fabric. My attention span is not ideal for this idea of mine. It's just made me realize how not completely better I am. But both are done and tomorrow I'll be sizing them for something that will just be about 3 fast seams for each dress so the end is in sight. I hope. Unless the older girl is too tall for the pre-designed fabric. In which case I may cry in defeat. I have stuff to make each another dress but we'll see if I get there.
