I have too many things on my "To Do" list for today. I am not sure I'll manage to achieve them all. And yet I must. Tomorrow at 12 noon is sort of a deadline. We have a lady coming to clean our house. I can't have half of our stuff out of the cabinets sitting in boxes in the dining room.
My brother is very kindly coming to my house in just a few minutes. I told him to access the situation and give me an honest answer whether or not he feels up to the task. He said he hurt his ankle today, and has a sore eyelid after getting stung by one of his honey bees (he raises honey bees). I planned on getting some cash to give him, but I don't have enough time to get to the ATM and back. Maybe he'll go with me there? But that's kind of awkward. I can promise to give him the "thank you" gift next time I see him. Not having a dishwasher and working kitchen sink is terrible!!!!! I'm hoping the sink will be made operational today. I hope! I've had to rinse/wash some things in the bathroom sink. |

Hi all, been reading here and there but not posting much. (Basically my online paranoia).
Reading your posts I am continually encouraged by your strengths and support of one another 😊 I’m doing pretty well but I think I’m going to stop the cymbalta. I really don’t feel any worthwhile positive effects that would make me decide to continue this long term. It’s also messing with my GI system terribly. pdoc thought it would give me a motivation boost but I feel less. I was just chopping vegetables and had to stop and take this break as it was exhausting me. I also slept in until noon today. Anyway I see her next week to discuss. Hugs !! |

Just taking a quick break from my many tasks today. I have gotten a lot done; yet, feel quite overwhelmed. I have a deadline on all of these tasks. It's a very hectic week as it is. Oh well, I will survive!
Going "back into" the .gov abyss to see if I am, somehow, recognized today!? Too bad making this .gov account is a requirement. Am I required to comply if they refuse to acknowledge that I am me? I hope to check in later on today. Love to All ~ __________________ May we each fully claim the courage to live from our hearts, to allow Love, Faith and Hope to enLighten our paths. |

Autumn has traditionally been a bad time for me- lots of my hospitalizations have been in the fall. One was in the Spring. This year wouldve been a Spring admitt. If the Seroquel hadn't knocked me on my keester!

I can't recall much from before ECT so I don't know how my episodes fitted into the seasons. I haven't the slightest idea of when in the year I tended to get hospitalised. As to what season I prefer, I suppose I'm partial to winter's rain and chill. I like to dress in layers.
Reporting on today - average day, short ride, checking in here. I hope all continues to improve for each of you. __________________ >< |

Reminds me of Winters in Victoria B.C. on Vancouver Island in Canada. Winters in Michigan are brutal lately- all that snow and ice plus last January we had windchills at -40F! **** that!

I GOT THE JOB!!! I’m going to be an English teacher in a school for kids with emotional and behavioral problems once again. I’m so excited! The only thing I’m worried about is I can’t renew my teacher of students with disabilities certificate until I get 21 post baccalaureate credits. I have 21, but they’re in two different programs (some in a master’s the others in a regular post bacc program). I’m not sure if that will be acceptable. But I will have 21 credits by the end of the fall semester so hopefully everything will work out. I would hate to give notice at my current job to find out I can’t take this new one. But I will ask about that. I have to go for a physical on Friday that’s going to take 2 hours I hope I don’t have to run! I don’t mind lifting now that my back is healed up but I still suck at running.
I’m so excited! I’m already planning bulletin boards and classroom motivators and lesson plans. I just have to find out what the curriculum is. Then I can focus on one thing. I want to do the poetry project I did with my gpa kids with them but they said they focus on test prep and I’m not sure I can tie poetry into test prep. Yay! So excited! __________________ Of course it is happening inside your head. But why on earth should that mean that it is not real? -Albus Dumbledore That’s life. If nothing else, that is life.

Congratulations wild!
In the first years seemed like February was my down month that ended in hospitals but after being put on ADs that brought out mixed episodes any old month or season could be hospital time. When I wised up and quit the ADs I had learned coping skills and how to avoid hospitals. My last depression I stayed in my apartment and quit socially interacting had there been anyone around that knew how bad it was I would have been hospitalized but I wasn't actively Sui just passive. So passive that days passed and only my cat knew I hadn't moved. Poor cat. But he was the reason I made midnight runs to the food store to get him food. __________________ Nammu …Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

Good Evening!
I have gotten a lot done. I think I've added at least 12 new passwords to the mix. I don't like to have so much on the internet. I miss the good ole days without cell phones, without the internet, etc. So, I've found out more about .gov's inability to "recognize me." They cannot verify anything about me. Why? Because Equifax , they think, has frozen my account/ is blocking me from being able to be seen/verified and/or to do anything. :what?: Tomorrow, I need to get a vascular ultrasound. I hope my arm will be okay. My right arm will be just fine. __________________ May we each fully claim the courage to live from our hearts, to allow Love, Faith and Hope to enLighten our paths. |

Excellent, Wildflower! Super congrats!
Most of my past hospitalizations have been in the spring. Even years I have narrowly avoided the hospital, my worst were in the spring. I think I had a couple summer hospitalizations. I don't recall any in the winter or fall. Maybe one, at most. Today was stressful, but my brother made the day end with eventual success with our plumbing issue. Bro was under the sink for two hours, soldering and more. Then he ran into an issue he said was even beyond him. That's rare! He is an electrician and can do a lot of plumbing, but I needed an official plumber to finish the job. My brother called a plumber friend who came within four hours. The plumber friend had to quickly run to the hardware store, but finished the work in 30 mins after. Since I was my brother's sister, the plumber friend wasn't going to charge me anything. I forced at least $100 on him, and he luckily took it. I had also forced $120 on my brother, plus lunch and dinner. That's a steel compared to local plumbers, who may not have come until as late as Thursday or Friday. My brother stayed with me most of the day, including when his plumber friend came. I love my brother 💖!!!!!!!!!!!! Tomorrow we get our new dishwasher. I hope that goes smoothly. My brother said if it doesn't, to call him again. I see my psychiatrist tomorrow for the first time in six weeks. He's been on his extended annual vacation. I can't wait! I adore him, too. It's been rough without him. |

I 'd completed all I could complete, writing in answers on paper forms instead of typing and submitting. Even if I choose to do it all on paper, they still require everyone sets up an online account with them. In order to set up the account, the program needs to recognize each person. If not, I get kicked out and then locked out for 24 hours. Lol! An hour later, I'd set up an online account with my pharmacy, CVS. Wow! Their security questions, meant to fully identify me, were much more well-informed. They had much more info on me than did the Soc. Sec. Admin., or so it seemed! CVS does their homework!!! Thanks for the thoughts and prayers. __________________ May we each fully claim the courage to live from our hearts, to allow Love, Faith and Hope to enLighten our paths. |
