I had very low vit. D levels (that's what happens when you're in the ER for a month!) and they put me on 2000units and once a week 10,000 units. I no longer take the weekly 10,000 but I still take the 2000 because Nude Hampster.

What makes me sad is that we've lost so many lovely old trees that have died, or are dying, because of the drought. There's a redwood tree outside of my window, a magnificent tree. But there is so much brown on it, I'm not sure it could be saved even if the drought does end.
In severe droughts the ground is actually too dry to soak up all the rain, which is why the flooding was much worse than if there hadn't been a drought.

I don’t want to be locked away from him ever again.

Luckily it made me more determined to make safe choices so I can be there for him instead of rotting in some hospital bed.

I seem to have gotten through the worst of this episode because though the SH thoughts are there they are more in the background. I was more active today. We went to the fire and ice festival at a cute little shopping village. It was nice because these past two days have been arctic, low twenties. Today it’s still brisk but the sun is beaming and if you’re wrapped up it’s very nice. We walked around a bit with CR, he’s feeling much better today. He doesn’t generally like walking around shops but I promised him food from a food truck haha. We got a deluxe grilled cheese on Texas toast with some tater tots. Delicious.

I think the sunshine did me good. It’s supposed to be almost springlike this week again so I’ll probably take some walks after work. Hopefully I’ll continue to feel better.
I hope you continue to feel better as well! sorry about the bad dream, although it makes sense given the situation. It sounds like you're past the point you have to worry about IP though.

Still maybe it’s just the sun but I’m feeling more positive about it all.
Glad to hear your mum is on the up and up! Sounds like good things are happening on that front.

My sisters family took my mom out for breakfast for her birthday today and then they all came back to my house. I sent an email to my therapist this morning and she sent a nice reply back. She says she has something fun for us to do tommorow. This weekend was pretty good.
I wonder what your T has planned... hopefully it is something fun (and not watching the poodle video!!)
