H is teaching today and then flying to Toronto after school for a thing to do with the company he has partial shares with in India (the CEO used H's graduate thesis technique as a base for production, and H has consulted with the company on various issues, what may or may not work). The CEO was supposed to go, but I guess even getting a Canadian visa is not that easy these days. He has been waiting over a month, and still hasn't gotten a visa though he has a visa to the U.S. Since the company committed to come to this event, H is pretty much the next higher up who is not from India (requiring a visa) and only requires a passport to get into Canada, so H is representing the company there. It's a quick trip. He flies back tomorrow night, but won't get in until around midnight, and it is a bit of a drive from the airport back to our house.

I think I'm still a little up moodwise, but not too bad, not hypomania even, but just a bit higher than my normal baseline. My pdoc has not changed my Wellbutrin or Adderall prescriptions a few months now, except to lower the Wellbutrin some. He did recently up the Seroquel to 500 mg.

Just got back from a local church. They are right next to my daughter's elementary school, and they do a lot to help her school. They had the counselor recommend children or families that needed help for the holidays, and I think because of the whole CPS thing and knowing we are struggling financially, the counselor gave my daughter's name to the church. They have a Christmas store, where I got to pick 3 larger gifts for my daughter, a few stocking stuffers, a stuffed animal, bagged Christmas candy, a graphic novel type Bible. They gave me a food bag for a Christmas meal, minus the meat, but they gave me a $10 gift card to a local grocery store to buy the meat (very likely I'll roast a chicken); a turkey is too much for a family of 3, and I know my daughter will be more excited about her gifts than eating anyway, so that was nice. When we get it together enough to attend church, that is the church we go to, so I already know the minister, his secretary, and various other church members. We haven't been in awhile, I'm ashamed to say. I really want to try harder on that count, but H is always exhausted by the end of the school week, and my daughter has turned into quite the night owl, so even getting to the 10:30 AM service is a bit of a struggle now.

Otherwise, I see my T later this afternoon. Not exactly sure what we are going to work on, but I have even garbage and needs for coping strategies, there will be plenty to choose from.
