The boost i got in my mood has either stalled or disappeared. It might be because the weather has turned bad again. We had snow today. It was very pretty tho. I enjoyed my balcony today, the wide-open view, the stunning sky. A balcony is really nice. I must make better use of it.

I had a phone appointment with my doctor. I told the joke about "better six feet apart than six feet under" and he laughed. He seemed eager to try new meds now that we've concluded the Lamictal is a dismal failure. But i've been on the meds-go-round for 30 years and have pretty much accepted that meds are only going to help and i'm still going to have mood swings. I feel this is as good as it gets so we agreed not to make any changes for now.

I was really pleased about the appointment as it happened because i called in for a prescription renewal and my doctor asked for the appointment which i thought was really caring. But i told my neighbor about it and she said he was probably getting paid for it (Canada). What a nasty thing to say! Even if it's true, why say such a negative thing?
She tends to rain on my parade. That's an awful aspect of human behavior, to want to ruin someone's joy. It's not the first time it's happened with her. I'm reluctant to confront her about it because i need her help with my dog. I haven't seen her in a couple days and i don't miss her.
