Yesterday I almost got into a car accident. I was exiting the Starbucks drive through when someone whipped around the corner. If I hadn’t slammed on my brakes we would’ve collided for sure! Well my venti pumpkin cream cold brew went flying and got all over my purse, ipad bag and phone and mostly the passenger side floor. That’s a sticky drink! I blame the engineers who designed the cup holders- they are shallow and thin.

I have one more dose of my Klonopin wean. This is for a study that’s looking at how benzodiazepines affect the bipolar brain. It involves two MRIs. My biggest fear is not that I’ll be claustrophobic but that I’ll have to pee during the hour-long scans! We shall see how I am sans Klonopin in a few days. I’m worried that my anxiety will come back. Ha ha worried about not having Klonopin!

Well again- sorry for being MIA yet again. It’s not like I don’t have the time- between my many appointments- to read and reply. Speaking of doctors, my liver doctor sent me to a nutritionist. I had a zoom appointment with her earlier this week. It went well. However I’d just gone shopping Thursday when we had all those bad storms here in Michigan and my power is STILL out! They just keep backing up the estimated fixed times! Luckily the storms didn’t really affect my family! Except my power of course. I saw my liver doctor last week and she wants to do an MRI on my liver- on a Sunday of all times. I have fatty liver. However all my labs came back good even my A1C. I’m no longer pre-diabetic!!

Starting October first my rent is going up quite a bit. Everybody asks “Can they do that?” And when you’re on section8 they sure can!
