My care manager is going to help me get into vocational rehabilitation so I can get a part-time job. I asked her to because I feel ready for it. I haven't worked because I've been on disability due to schizoaffective/bipolar. So I'm looking forward to this, nervous but excited too! It's a big step.

I'm ready for fall and winter. I love cool and cold weather, changing leaves, then snow! And all the holidays. Just makes me feel good. It's been pretty hot, I have a hard time with heat because a few of my meds mess with my heat tolerance. And I had a hard time with it before meds to begin with. I've been melting Christmas and fall scented wax cubes in my wax warmer (Scentsy) and they smell so good.

I've been practicing ukulele. Some Christmas songs so I can record some videos of me playing and share them with family and friends when the holidays roll around. I know that's quite awhile away but I want to get really good at the songs so I'm giving myself a long time to practice them till I master them.

Yesterday I got on the treadmill for 30 minutes, then did some reps with my 8lb weights and also some squats with my resistance bands. That was my first time exercising in several months, It's hard for me to get motivated to do it but when I do I always feel a lot better. I'm trying to get in better shape

I hope everyone is doing well
