There's a lot going on this month. With things opening up, life's beginning again. Two of my nieces are graduating, so there will be parties, I have tickets to two baseball games, my aunt's memorial service is coming up, & my 60th birthday lands on the 25th. While it's nice to be back living again, those occasions also provide many opportunities to eat. I was kind of pissed that I gained 1.2 pounds at Weight Watchers this past week, but there's the potential to gain a lot more than that if I'm not careful this month.
I had an appointment with the neurologist yeaterday to try to find an explanation for the neuropathy I've been experiencing the past few years. While they will run more blood tests, his best guess is that it's been caused by taking so many psych meds for so many years...apparently lithium is a prime suspect, since I was on it for 10 years. Age is another factor...& there's not much I can do to slow that one down!
Anyways, I hope everyone has a great day.

I agree on the long, long daylight...and it's still lengthening. Getting dark at 7p.m. would be my choice.
The damage that psych meds can do is appalling to me. I had no idea when I started taking them.
Hurrah for the baseball tickets! Woohoo!!
