I did manage to walk the dogs up and down the driveway a few times (it is fairly long). I was actually willing to go once more but they wanted in so we stopped. I was tired but it felt good to move around some. That's an improvement; Wednesday I had to climb and descend these really steep and long steps at my nieces' school and I barely made it. I backed up traffic I was so slow.

Hopefully tomorrow will bring some more energy.
oh no! I suffer quite a bit after general anesthesia... for days. I hope your symptoms back off very soon.

Maybe since he’s acting like a child by not getting a job you could give him a curfew ?? Early enough that they can hoof it ??? Act like a child get treated like one ?

Just the fact that you basically had no food ! No food to eat to get through until next month should really be a HUGE incentive for him to get a job and help out wasn’t he hungry ? .... all the money on gas you have spent this month toting them around could have bought a lot of groceries.

I really hate to see you in this situation with your son

I have more been considering seeing my psychiatrist it in general to maybe get some more feedback on what's going on with me.

It's not that I care about a label as much as I am confused about the underlying processes. I am also a little concerned some of this could be due to past health issues I've had. I haven't yet considered other pdocs just because I trust this one and he knows me well, but wouldn't be against it.
Well you seem quite on top of your situation a d your reasoning sounds solid. Hopefully they can make an exception for you. I'm not a fan of doctors who refuse to bend for the right patient.

Hmmmmm. I only slept 4 hours last night. Usually I sleep 10. And in that short 4 hours I had lots of wild dreams. No surprise to me, one long dream was about cycling in Spain. That could be because one of the last things I did yesterday was fix my front derailleur. There I was riding around in the dark, shift up, shift down, shift up, shift down. ... I'm a little bit concerned that I may be heading into the land of hypomania. It's been a while since I've been here, at least as far as I can remember.

I feel kind of wired today. Like I want to sing and dance lol. I woke up at 7:30, whereas I usually wake up at 9:30 on the weekends. I think I’m just excited for my mom’s party. I happy to see her. Haven’t seen her in about two weeks. I’m not as excited to see my brother and his wife. Especially his wife. I love my brother for sure but I still feel like his wife has turned him against my family and I don’t really want to be around her.

I really want to have a conversation with my brother without her there but I know he will tell her everything anyway. So then she will be against me too when she’s already against my mom. Then I’ll never see my brother. But I guess that’s not too much different from now, is it?

I’ve done some chores today because my MIL is coming tomorrow and I know she’s very clean so I didn’t want her to see my house a wreck lol. I swept the floor, my son mopped, I did all the dishes, I cleaned the guineA pig’s cage AND the litter box. Now I just have to vacuum in the living room. But my son is playing monopoly with his imaginary brother lol so I can’t right now.

Alright, almost time to leave for the party!

Yesterday I stayed in bed most of the day and was paranoid that I was being poisoned by my meds. I felt like my brain was falling/sliding out of my head. I was also laughing a lot for no reason and on the verge of crying at the same time. Not sure what was going on but I was scared. I'm feeling much better today though

So glad you are feeling better. You experienced several heavy symptoms all at once. That would be scary for anyone. Did anything trigger you? I hope you are able to have a more peaceful and enjoyable day today!

I'm a little tired today, but otherwise fine. Hubby and I went to the phlebotomist early (hubby had a fasting blood test) then to breakfast at a diner, Lowes, then Trader Joe's. That was it for me.

Tonight we're invited to my husband's friend's house. I'm afraid that's not exciting me. She's more his friend than mine. If anyone recalls, she's the woman that came up to me in the grocery store a couple months back and told me she had had a good therapy session about not getting upset when people cancel on her. We had cancelled on her the day before that. Me being ill was the excuse. Since then, her cat ran away, her 95 year old mother has been sick, and her long separated husband finally filed for a divorce. She was the one that left him, though. It's complicated for her. I sympathize, but it's uncomfortable. I hope the conversations are at least a little upbeat. Really, we should have invited her to our house, but I just haven't been up to it. Je suis la cuisinière de la maison. Hubby is capable of cooking, but has near nervous breakdowns when he tries.

cold front here in the south. the weather has gotten to me already. I don't have a fever (yet) but I am coughing, sore throat, body aches and I just feel drained and blah. figures I would get sick near my birthday. oh well. I guess it is what it is. I am taking some Mucinex fast max and just trying to relax. hopefully this passes quickly. I hate being sick.

You had a busy day !! That many places would have worn me out. Did you get your normal amount of sleep ??

Yeah she sounds like an odd duck for sure.

Hope the dinner goes well

I have a front blowing through also maybe we have the same one??? rain rain and rain.. my husband is having some difficulty breathing since the air is so heavy.

I hope mucinex is helpful and it doesn’t progress to the point you need a Doctor.

Well I’m making egg rolls , I had bought all the ingredients based on the son and girlfriend coming. So now I have so much extra ... ugh

I plan to freeze a lot of it. I’m hoping it will be okay for another time. I have never frozen the filling so we shall see. I’ll be really upset if I have to toss it out down the road.

Nothing but rain here today. Apparently it should all clear out later this evening, I hope so this heavy air is difficult for us both to breath.

Hugs and cookies~~

Egg rolls sound awesome. I'm sorry your son in law had to cancel his trip though.

Are you cooking then most of the way first and then freezing them, or freezing them uncooked? The ones in the frozen section of the store are pre fried and then you just reheat on a high temp in the oven for a bit.

I always get nervous freezing something new. I hope it works out perfectly and gives you another delicious make ahead dish for your already well seasoned arsenal.

I guess I'm ok now. Not depressed much and not hypomanic. Sorry I'm not here more often but I'm in a place where I have nothing to say. The words just won't come because my brain is slowed down. I wish I could participate more. Sorry.

Well well well. Believe it or not, my brother didn’t show. He claims he had to work. Yep, work is more important than your own mother. I am so heated. Then I politely asked him to meet me for coffee without his wife so we could talk and of course, he never responded. So whatever. If he doesn’t want to be a part of my life anymore, so be it.

Otherwise, my mom’s party was a success. She really enjoyed herself. I enjoyed it too. We had the food catered from a local supermarket and it was very good, although the fruit could have been fresher. But otherwise, a good time.

Tomorrow my MIL comes so that’ll be nice since RS has to work again.

PC is not being my friend today....I'm not getting notifications and now it just ate my post.

I have managed to catch my niece's cold. She's in kindergarten so pretty much always has a cold. This time I just didn't have enough resistance from being sick myself and so I caught it. It's not a bad one but I don't feel good and I'm even more tired now.

I really want to get stuff ready for church tomorrow but I'm so tired already that I can't imagine I possibly will go. I hate missing but I don't want to infect others and I don't want to push so hard that I just make myself sicker.

I'm really ready for feeling good for several days in a row. It will happen. Just not yet.

I'm in bed watching Are You Being Served? I spent several hours reading today. I love reading. I'm wearing my long underwear and a sweatshirt. I made chicken for dinner so I'm full, warm and happy. Its 40's realfeel and cold rain. Ive got my oil heater going.

@christina my asthma makes my throat feel swollen. My inhaler (albuterol) helps. I was taking Symbacort but I need to call my primary dr. for refills on it.

I had slept more than usual during the night last night. I then slept in this morning! Wow!

The weather has been pretty; yet, it exacerbates pain. I'd had great difficulty staying awake today. Took a 2 hour nap, was soooo tired.

My mood was quite low today; however, i am almost constantly dealing with triggers from one source or another lately.

I am ultra-sensitive to noise today., including "quiet noise." Irritated by any noise, including anyone talking to me, as well as very irritated by my own voice. It feels like/sounds like people are shouting and they are not doing so. This sometimes signifies a mood swing. Will see. (usually a very irritable hypo episode.)

I intend to sleep well tonight, too.

Love to All!

I`ve had a pretty quiet Saturday so far. I`ve just got a few chores done like cleaning my bedroom and doing some laundry. Yesterday though my older sister took me to a movie then we walked around the mall and had some lunch. We got some Chinese food and it was a pretty nice day. Tomorrow I plan on cleaning my turtle`s tank. So that`s my exciting weekend lol! I hope the rest of you are feeling ok and hugs to those who are not. I hope you all have a Happy Weekend !

I stir fry everything about half way, that way when I roll them up and deep fry they come out just right. I hate mushy over cooked egg rolls. I’m a huge egg roll snob , I never order them out, I have never found any fresh made most are frozen. Mine are so simple to make anyway.

I really hope that it freezes well. If so it will defiantly something I will keep on hand here and there.

I’m sorry about your brother.. my brother really got busy with his own life and kids it was almost impossible to get him to come for a family dinner or birthdays.

For a month she just kept calling him and asking him to please please please come she was was going to cook his favorite meal and dessert , he had many excuses work, kids sports events Etc etc ...

Well he finally agreed to come on a Sunday... she was so happy, I was happy I hadn’t seen him in months. Well my mom died in her sleep on the Thursday before, she was only 66 and in good health very active.

He has to live with that guilt the rest of his life.

Men are different when it comes to relationships with parents and even siblings. My T has to remind me about that when I get angry at my husbands Sons for not actively make time to spend with him. One day they too will have regret to live with.

Hopefully you can have a conversation with him and it be positive
