Bipolar check in #45

I got my proof for food stamps. Now to figure out how to get it to them! You can do it on line and I have a sign in for my account, but I'd have to scan the proof and upload it which I've done at the place itself, but not on line at home. I'm going to try at my mom's since she has a scanner and a computer attached to it. I won't have anyone to help me, though, like I do at the DHHS place.

You do not need a scanner. Download camscanner on your iPhone or android. It's free and it exports your "scan" to a PDF that you can upload. I use it all the time for work expenses when I'm trying to submit for reimbursement.

Google Play Store: CamScanner - Scanner to scan PDF - Apps on Google Play

iPhone App Store: CamScanner-PDF Scanner App on the App Store

EDIT: To clarify, you take a picture of whatever you're trying to "scan." The app turns it to a black and white PDF. It's also quite an intelligent app, so that if you (for example) "scanned" a picture of a piece of paper with your table in the background, it will crop out the table so that you only see the paper.

You can try it first. Then if you don't like it, go to your mom's house. But it's a really good app.

will your mom be able to help you?

If you need to scan and do not know how to do it, google it.
You can put in the make and model of the copier and you will probably find a manufacturer's video or a youtube video (maybe both) which will show you exactly what to do.

It is how I learn to do things around here now that I have to do it all!
It can turn out to be MUCH easier than anticipated.
good luck!

EDITED: I did not know that Blue was responding, too. Lol!

Didn't he move in with his gf and her family because he just could not understand your worries about catching COVID with having asthma as it does put you at a higher risk? So why are you driving him to work? Im confused

Im sorry your evenings are tougher to handle. I also feel worse later in the day.

I also am talking to my T Wednesday

I am so happy services are online, Very uplifting and needed for many people

Congrads on the year mark in a battle over a ED ,, Thats fantastic

A front is coming through, again. My Husband and I are dealing with nasty headaches.. Hard to breath today for us both.

I am disgusted with My Governor..... Money is more important than saving lives

I've been wondering how soon before it is all outside of my door.

Well, it is here.
There is an outbreak in my town. Two in my town have perished. Our state count is higher.
The National Guard has been called up and are now on active duty.

Many large temporary medical units have been set up throughout the state.
A hotel near the university hospital is holding/treating many ill people, the idea being if anyone needs a ventilator, they will be right next to the hospital for easy transport to the ICU.

Love to All!

People who think money is more important than saving lives disgust me too

much love


PS I am disgusted by some of the people in my forest

Sorry to hear about your governor. It's unfortunate that many politicians are pulling the same crap.

I understand it's important to help the economy, but how is our economy going to thrive when everyone is in the hospital or dead? Makes no sense.

I hope you are able to breathe better soon. That sounds difficult.

I am sorry you and Steve are not feeling well.
I wish the storms would wind down and your Governor would get wound up!

Love Ya!

Im sorry this is happening. I am so glad your state is taking charge right now.

Stay safe my friend

My state issued a stay at home last week. Today the teens in one of the neighborhood houses put up hammocks! Mum's neighborhood is in a giant horseshoe shape with a small island in the u. The island has old trees on it, that's where the teen put the bright and colorful hammocks! What a wonderful idea! There's three of them and they are just far enough apart to be socially distant but close enough that they can talk. Looks so pretty too.

I had no clue there were services online--I am going to have to check those out. I need that.


Well, up all night dealing with my brain. Next door neighbors also up all night, basically. I went to bed finally at 5ish. They were still up, clanking around like it was 2 in the afternoon. Then, they woke me at 830 with a bunch of racket. I don't get it. What are they--doing coke? Meth? Adderall? Dunno. Just spying on me? This isn't really a meth/coke type place, I didn't think (???). Who chronically stays up all night except trauma surgeons and bipolar 1 people? What is wrong with them?


It just feeds into my whole threat assessment problem. If people would just go to bed like normal humans, I think I would feel a lot better vis a vis my sick brain. At lest overnight. Oh well.

40 mph gusts here today. No way I am riding in that. Binge-watching Homeland (probably my favorite show) and Ray Donovan. I must say, I am not a big fan of Showtime the network, but it was very kind of them to give us all free Showtime for a month. Really enjoying that.

Pretty darn close to finishing draft 1 of this book about the hospital. Still able to write, even while psychotic. It does get me out of my head. Anyhow, once I am done, maybe today, then, I'll immediately turn around and go through it again, but that usually goes pretty quickly.

Love and hugs to all!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ah, a hammock would be very nice right about now. That does sound like a wonderful idea.

It's always great to get fresh air when you need it.

Cool. When do you think your book will be done?

Are you going to publish it on Amazon or something? I have a kindle, so I can download an ebook

As far as I know, its still in discussion. Nobody's moving anywhere at the moment. I'm driving him to work because he has no license and no car.

Well, my day went alright. Didn't get much done work wise, though, because I was distracted af. I have no idea why I have been becoming increasingly distractible.

I think I will wake up tomorrow morning around 3am or 4am to order some groceries from Wal-Mart so that I can pick them up on Wednesday (since you're only allowed to book out one day in advance). I do not want to step foot in the grocery store.

Anyways, I hope everyone else is doing well, and if you're not, I hope that tomorrow is a much better day for you.

My mom said she was going to Costco and would get me toilet paper and a few other things if they had them, that is. I admit! I've been rationing toilet paper! Just using a lot less each time. Seems to be helping. And the more people buy the more people freak out so then THEY buy a lot... I'm glad stores are putting a limit on it. I saw an article online that said that one big manufacturer is running at 120% capacity and its still not enough!

So I don't feel depressed at the moment, but I am getting tired of the whole Covid-19 thing! Every morning when I wake up, my first thought is the last few moments of my dream, the fact that that wasn't real and then the fact that the virus is STILL here and still very REAL! It feels that they are reversed: Dreams are real and life is the dreams.

I had a phone appointment with my liver doctor on Wednesday. Things are still bad. I simply MUST lose this weight so that my liver can be devoid of fat, too. And now is about the right time to do it, while we are still allowed to go out and ride our bikes and walk. I have been contemplating my mortality. Not only because of the virus but because of my liver situation. That and I'm getting older. I don't care about being an "old person"- I'm just worried I won't even make it to be old.

My husband's company doesn't usually send anyone to China, except rare occasions. That's not an issue. The company just needs Chinese people to want to study in the US. That will be a continuing issue. They can't come now. They might not want to for a little while. They may choose to go elsewhere. I don't see that as a good thing. People who do, know not the ramifications of such a wish.

My apartment complex is giving out care packages next week since a lot of us have trouble getting out and getting stuff we need during this.

They also gave us a number we can call if we need food in the meantime and someone will bring it to the main entrance to pick up. So I called them earlier since I don’t have any money right now and hardly anything left to eat. There’s a 24 hour delivery delay but I should get the food tomorrow afternoon, they’ll call me when it’s ready and they’re here

That's great! We are going through the "dregs" that are left- pasta, ramen, cheerios, whatever is frozen (nothing great), cans of soup, whatever is edible in the fridge (should clean that out and find out!), we have some milk at least for cereal and coffee. Yes- coffee is in the freezer too.

Sorry I haven't posted. My son has me studying pre-calc with him as he needs a study buddy. We're planing for next semester too. We have no idea what is happening with this semester. I'm running out of ideas for yummy food with what we have. I don't want to go to the store for a while.

Can you do groceries delivered to your house? If not, have you considered using Wal-Mart pickup/delivery? Wal-Mart only allows you to book a pickup or delivery appointment one day in advance, which means that Wal-Mart isn't booked out for 3-4 weeks like most grocery delivery companies are. If you wake up at like 4am or 5am, there are usually openings. I know that's early, but if you really need something groceries wise, set an alarm for 4am or 5am. Then make sure you have an account with Wal-Mart so that you can reserve your pickup time before you even start putting things in your cart.

I did Wal-Mart pickup and it was fine. They all wear medical grade gloves and they put the groceries in my trunk without me touching them. It was contactless, except for the fact I had to sign their scanner thingy with my finger to verify that I'm picking up my groceries.

Ahhh okay .. I thought he had moved the other day. Hope you can get it sorted out
