Part of my fear has to do with possibly seeing the dumpster cat and worrying about it, part of my apprehension is because I dislike the new clinic (it's very "cold", large...so different from the cozy old clinic), and part of my concern has to do with the glaring light in my therapist's office. The parking lot is ridiculously large, which also bothers me. All those unnecessary, empty parking spaces. It's creepy, somehow.

Rather ridiculous stuff. But there it all is, stuck in my mind, causing worry.

I'm still watching The Tudors. King Henry VIII was a mostly horrid man. Dislikable, to say the least. I'm looking forward to going back and watching Versailles again. Louis XIV and his darling brother, Philippe, were wonderful.

I just went to the grocery store and bought 3 macarons - 2 pistachios and 1 "birthday cake." Macarons are such fun, lovely, tasty little things.

It is WINDY! Ugh, yesterday and today, just wild crazy windy. Still no rain in sight. *sigh*

Love all around

I feel a little better than I did last night. Not as paranoid. I was able to get out and go grocery shopping today. I'm thinking I need to possibly stay on my mood stabilizer, because the antipsychotics alone aren't helping with some manic symptoms. I was the one who requested going off it because I felt like I didn't need it anymore. so I'm in the midst of trying to taper off it. I don't know, I guess I'll figure it out. I talk to my psychiatrist again on the 23rd.

The Macarons sound great!

It's supposed to snow here in upstate NY thursday/friday, we're supposed to get 6-7 inches. We've gotten an unusually little amount of snow this year.
