I haven't hit my baseline since last Thursday. It was pleasant that day and I'm hoping for more to come but for now I'm back to my regular lows.

I went shopping with my younger son this weekend for some new clothes for me. I lost a lot of weight when I reacted badly to Lamictal and it hasn't come back in almost 2 years but I still have the same clothes which are now really loose (I lost 40 pounds).

I bought a few pairs of pants and a couple of shirts that fit way better and according to my son are fashionable too.

We also had a nice conversation with my older son who is still with us visiting. I'm happy he decided to stay longer and it's always nice having conversations with him even if they aren't easy ones.

I haven't mentioned my cat here but he's 20 and is not doing well. He had cancer removed from his skin a couple of months ago and his mind is going. He poops everywhere now and has other issues.

I hope I don't sound harsh but I think his time has come. He's declining quickly and I don't think old age will treat him well. We're also having difficulty coping with his pooping everywhere. We'll have to replace all the carpets after he's gone. Just taking it a week at a time at the moment.
