My older son arrived for his 2 week visit! I'm really glad to see him. We're going out later today along with my younger son and my mother. It'll be a nice 2 weeks...he's already asked to use my car lol.

My mother in law also arrived. She's staying for 3 months. She lived with us about 10 years ago but went back to her home country so she's just here for a visit this time. I get along well with her.

My mood has been it's usual low but now I'm having moments of happiness...I'll take moments over nothing at all.

I'm having big problems with dehydration with my higher dose of lithium. Over the years on various drugs I have just gotten used to the side effect of dry mouth so I drink when I think about it. The problem is that I'm drying out from lithium. I'm having constipation and fiber over that past month hasn't been helping. The solution is to drink more but it's simply not coming to mind during the day.
