Thank you everyone for your condolences and for your support, it's very much appreciated.

In better news my eldest son is coming to visit next week. He also moved closer and he's now just in California instead of a 21 hour flight (he's still 6 hours away for me but he's much closer than before).

Also my mother is turning 75 next week and we have arranged a big gathering for her at a nice restaurant. I'm paying a big chunk on my credit card to make room for the big bill. There will be 13 people at the party.

I have been thinking about how I have been feeling in preparation for answering my pdoc when she asks. I'm on the fence about whether the depression is better or whether this is a bit of hypomania and whether I'm happy with the way things are at the moment.

The brain zaps are getting on my nerves. They're completely random so far. I feel so strange taking about them because they're so strange, I feel as if others think I'm making this up (no one here).

I wonder if these zaps are related to my sleep because I'm down to about 5.5 hours a night when I used to get 8 to 9 hours before this started.

I finished and published the article I was working on. Now that it's out of my system I can get back to the book.
