@~Christina, car issues do indeed suck! I hope what you get fixed keeps your car in good order for a while. I need to start eating out of my freezer, too. Not just for money issues, but some stuff is getting a little old and I can't afford to waste money by wasting food. I can understand why your son-in-law and his bride want a "real" wedding. I thought it sad all of the couples marrying during the pandemic. I'm sure you'll find some place to stay those extra days. As for me having a stretch of time at home, well sort of. We are going to meet up with one of my husband's friends for a couple days late next week, but just for two days. He has not seen that friend for years. That friend and his wife are a sweet couple. Then there's nothing else firmly on the calendar, but we might be hosting a friend from the US for some days around Christmas. We might take her to main tourist spots in our new country. The city we live in is not particularly interesting.

@Jennifer 1967, I hope you enjoy your getaway. I was happy to read that you'll have a chance to enjoy a pool again.

@BethRags, I'm sending positive wishes that you finally get a better psychiatrist soon. It truly is awful the neglect they're showing for your well-being.

@whatever2013, I can relate to wanting a reduction in appetite. I've gained about 6 kg (13 lbs) since my Seroquel XR was increased some months ago. My current dose (and above) has always been the jump from weight neutral (or fairly so) to not weight neutral anymore. In fact, I am going to talk to my psychiatrist today and ask for a reduction. My moods have been just fine for several weeks and my sleep has been slightly excessive. As for the reduction amounts, my old psychiatrist was like yours in taking things very slowly. I can speak from experience that big reductions can quickly cause mood shifts. Best of luck with your med adjustments!

@buddha1too, I'm thinking about you, dude. I hope you're OK. The last time I saw a post of yours the situation was not a positive one. But the one I'm referring to is over with. Sending you support and well wishes.
