Spring is here it its full glory. A beautiful 32`C here. My partner and I visited my sister and kids this morning. My partner has rarely had a chance to spend time with my nieces and nephews due to his anxiety/PTSD. He had a wonderful time, as did everyone else. It made me so happy to be all together (although it was minus my Dad, and sisters husband). After that I dropped my partner home and then went for a short swim/float in the ocean. My hip is flaring up bad so I have to be careful. I am guessing I need a cortisone injection. Due to this the rest of today and all of tomorrow I am staying off my feet as much as possible.

I reduced my Lithium dose by ~56mg starting yesterday. All good so far. Yesterday I spent 4 hours with my 15 year old niece. She had come back from school camp Wednesday due to social anxiety so my sister (who works f/t) didn't want her to be alone much. We had a great time dying her dogs white chest blue, baking cookies for the dog, walking the dog (can you tell she loves her dog!), and talking and playing music. She even asked me to be the photographer for a dressage competition (horses) she is in next month. This all made me so happy. It was an exhausting, but great week. Time for couch and Netflix.
