Thanks for your kind words about my sketch. I kept ahold of it all thru the four years of chaotic living from 29-years-old to 33-years-old, thru five hasty, and unwise moves. I moved from my current city, to Thunder Bay, down to Kingston, back to my current city briefly, then in a wild, and impractical decision, way out West to Vancouver, where i knew no one, and had no support, not even medical, and back to my current city, when my private disability benefits appeal finally settled in my favor.
So that tells you how much the sketch means to me, that i kept it all thru that time of intense suffering, and upheaval, moving five times in four years.
When i made the last move, I dropped everything as soon as my cheque dropped, broke my lease, donated the contents of my apartment to charity, stuffed my suitcase, grabbed a taxi, hit the airport with no idea of when the next flight back East was, and FLED.
But i kept ahold of that sketch, from my teens, safe and sound! Sometimes i wonder how i am still in one piece, all the crises i've lived thru, years of living dangerously, and reckless behavior.
I rented at first, when i came back from Vancouver, as i was pretty sick, and suffering from exhaustion, and in no shape to house hunt, and last thru the pressure of applying for a mortgage, and tolerate escrow.
The Superintendent saw me move in with just one single suitcase and I guess it raised a red flag with him, because he gave me a lecture about how he wouldn't tolerate any "shenanigans"!!! Hahaha!!!
Thanks to @

I slept well, from 1:00am to 6:00am, so a total of five hours. Really feeling much better for getting some decent sleep. I hope that i can be a more pleasant Jane, now that i'm logging the hours.
I have a ZOOM support group event at 9:30am to 11:30am. There's Scrabble tonight at 7:00pm to 10:00pm, but sometimes it's hard to get myself to go out in the evening after sunset in the Canadian Winter. I might go early, for 5:00pm, before sunset, and have dinner in a nearby diner, just so i get THERE in the daylight.
So i'll leave around 4:00pm, to get to the diner for 5:00pm (rush hour, way far West, public transit is not good), so really all i have to dispose of today is now til 9:30am, total three hours, and then 11:30am to 4:00pm, so total 4.5 hours. Grand total of seven hours.
I can knit. I'm making a scarf with three strands of yarn, all variegated. Two strands of chunky weight, and one of sport weight. It's going well, but slowly. Image attached.
I can make up some hand-written score sheets for Scrabble, and brush up on my short words, so i don't embarrass myself tonight. I haven't played in two months, and am out-of-practice.
So that's the plan for today. Keep busy, and stay out of trouble. Feel like listening to some Jimi Hendrix, but i only like listening over my external BOSE BlueTooth speaker, and it's pretty early for that. I'll put it on low, and get away with it. I got a smart watch, and it can even play music from my phone! Too cool!
I love you all, even the ones i was nasty too, and have the utmost respect for all the suffering you've all lived thru, and many are currently still suffering. It got better for me, and while i'm having a crisis right now, i had a 28 years of calm, peaceful living, tho only functioning at about 50% due to unnecessary psych meds from a mis-diagnosis in 1991, before prolonged grief disorder was discovered.
I wish only the best for you!
