raging vortex, you'd be OK in my house. My husband is allergic to garlic, so no garlic smell here.

I've actually been feeling a bit better lately since my Seroquel XR was reduced from 600 mg to 500 mg. I'm not going off this med, just need it reduced. My dosage of Seroquel XR has gone up and down between 450 and 600 mg for years, depending on my moods, etc. Since reducing to 500 mg, I've needed a little less sleep, felt more energetic and motivated during the day, and had a brighter mood. My appetite has also been reduced a bit. No more minor binging since the reduction. Really, 450 mg or below is mostly weight neutral for me.

Even though I'm happy about my appetite reduction, I still want to make Christmas cookies this year. I love my Czech mother-in-law's cookies better than my mother's cookies. I plan to make 5 or 6 different types this year, but WILL be sure they are shared with others so I don't get tempted to eat the majority of them.

I'm looking forward to seeing the movie "At Eternity's Gate" about the last years in Vincent van Gogh's life. I really like the actor Willem Dafoe, plus I'm curious to see how he presents van Gogh's mental illness symptoms. I've read that it is believed that Vincent van Gogh had bipolar disorder.
