Thanks so much, everyone, for the birthday wishes! I'm hoping today will be really nice.
I called my father, who is in an assisted living. I sort of figured that if I didn't call him, I wouldn't hear from him. I was certainly right. When the conversation started it was clear that he didn't know that today was my birthday. I can understand how people in such a situation might lose track of the date, however when I told him it was my birthday, he said he thought my birthday was in June. That is disconcerting. Frankly, my siblings and some others are aware that he has some cognitive issues. We believe he has the beginnings of some form of dementia. We had wanted to get him to a neurologist and also psychiatrist weeks ago, but as you know it has not been so possible. If he went, he would not have been allowed back into the assisted living. Dad's due to finally come home at the end of this month, but I believe he will chicken out and want to stay at the facility even longer. Avoidance. |

I drove to Rochester via the back roads, there were lots of cyclists all over. The road is very pretty with curves and trees but fortunately has wide cement shoulders. It was a very nice day a bit chilly but most of the riders had a bright yellow windbreaker kind of shirt on. I thought of you and the others here who ride.

I just made a tbone steak for dinner. I THINK its medium rare this time. Last time it was well done and I don't prefer it well done. The steak is "resting" for about 5 more minutes before I'm going to eat it!

Hey everyone...... I am hopelessly behind on here and I'd like to say I have been reading, but I cant, My husband's is very sick and I am focused on him of course.
I hope everyone is doing the best they can during such difficult times and not knowing what will come next ![]()

Happy birthday ladies!!!
Unfortunately, I've not been in a very good place the past 24 hours. Feeling very low. Also concerned why I'm suddenly feeling so knocked out after taking my Gabapentin. And wondering if that's what made me require a nap this afternoon, or if it was the depression. I hope I can sleep tonight and wake up rested tomorrow morning. I'm worried my mood is going to keep me up though. Sad but with intrusive thoughts (?) Hugs!

My employer has an extended health services benefits, so I tried a counselling (online) session to talk about my anxiety. It felt rushed, and geared towards someone reaching out for help for the first time. It felt like she's been having the same conversation for a month, which is probably true.
As usual, I was taking this seriously and taking notes over reading material and video suggestions. But my gut instinct tells me this is not someone I would want to sit down in a coffee shop with. It felt like she was leading the conversation to a conclusion instead of listening. I've honestly gotten more out of chatting with co-workers and casually say it's difficult to control anxiety nowadays. Well, I am not at square one. I just went "screw it, I'll get it done myself", and knocked the dust off some old bipolar books I bought when I was learning about the subject. I am thinking about cancelling the next online session as I feel it's a complete waste of my time. |

My day wasn't very good. I got some nice hours lying around and played with my dog. But the pharmacy screwed up AGAIN and i didn't get my meds. I always order in advance so there's still time but i am still very angry with them for making me wait for nothing.

I'm going out for a ride soon. First time on my new bike! Woohoo! The only problem is that the temp is 32F right now, so I'll have to bundle up! But it's the first time it HASN'T rained.
Anyways, I slept alright last night. Could be better, but could certainly be A LOT worse. So, I'll take what I got. ![]() Hope everyone has a lovely day. I've got a lot of work to do, but I'm not going to let it interfere with my exercise. ![]() |

Thanks! I did! It was a little hilly, but I managed. All in all, it was about a 45 min ride. I stayed warm with a winter coat.
![]() also, my legs are like Jell-O right now. all wobbly and stuff. On my way back to my apartment, I went the wrong way (up the hills as opposed to flat ground). I was dying. ![]() here are some pics from this morning ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Wonderful!
![]() You'll be fit in no time! Nice bike! I'm thinking: the (orange) dreamscycle. (Do you recall the orange colored freezer treats called creamsicles?)* (Don't mind me. I'm not awake .) You're an inspiration! You made a decision and you made it happen! Great example! ![]() *This frozen dessert was invented by Frank Eppperson in 1905, who was successful in his experiment of enclosing vanilla ice cream with a layer of frozen fruit juice when he was 11 years old. He called his invention the “Epsicle” which later became “popsicle”, “creamsicle” and even “dreamsicle”.
