151-200 Unhealthy 201-300 Very Unhealthy Health warnings of emergency conditions. The entire population is more likely to be affected. Active children and adults, and people with respiratory disease, such as asthma, should avoid all outdoor exertion; everyone else, especially children, should limit outdoor exertion. 300+ Hazardous Health alert: everyone may experience more serious health effects Everyone should avoid all outdoor exertion So yeah, hazardous starts quite far back from where we are. Took pictures from my windows again this morning. It is even worse than yesterday. Forget a block, you can barely make out what is across the street. Ended up going to work yesterday. The boss picked me up and brought me home (will be same today) so I wouldn't be out in it waiting for buses. Mentally it's hard to say. Kind of feels like an overload shutdown. Spending all spare time in distraction. So glad for youtube and Netflix. Though last night I watched political news. Suffice to say my exasperation is at epic levels.

Let's see if this works...
First is the house across the street. Can you see it? Second is a shot from yesterday, the third is a shot of the same, today. |

Just a quick note to let you know that while I'm not a religious or Spiritual person, I think about my West Coast friends all the time. I worry about you and your families and send positive thoughts your way. More than I'm holding any back for myself at this point.

I feel alright today besides another night of restless sleep. I’m doing good though. I went to the store and got a few things. It was a bit more crowded then I liked so I was too distracted to do a big shopping. It wasn’t horrible and I didn’t run into anyone though. It was just anxiety provoking. I’ll do the rest of my shopping at a different store tomorrow morning. My state is still stable with the number covid cases and low on the deaths. We are not going down but we are not going up. I’m just really taking it day by day right now. I’m just very focused on my surgery. I see my doctor tomorrow so I can get clearance for the surgery. I realized today that I’ll be able to run for the first time since I was 13 and that made me so incredibly happy. I couldn’t run before because of my size. It was too physically and emotionally uncomfortable even with a good sports bra.

It's so frightening to see. I can't believe that this is not handled with even greater national effort. Hugs

What a difference a bit more Seroquel XR makes! I took the 50 mg in the morning with my morning meds and felt so much better today. Hubby was the one with the freakouts today, I'm sad to say, while I was level and calm as could be. I'm going to take the extra tomorrow morning, too.

My mood improved from this morning. I made it to the grocery and have been doing chores off and all afternoon to work on this pig sty of a house. I don't know why I always let it get so bad. It's such a struggle. I've been breaking it down into smaller chunks so I don't feel so overwhelmed. I just need to keep at it, I guess.

I slept 3 to 4 hours last night. Big loss from a seven hour sleep I had the previous night. I woke up and took a shower (Had to talk myself into that actually). My husband took me for a ride. The smoke from the fires could be seen for miles, but still I enjoyed the ride.
I'm trying to keep my mood light as the day progresses. The night is still my biggest trigger as long as I deal with this insomnia. Ugh. __________________ Bipolar 2 Currently on: Trileptal (300 x 2) Feeling: A bit hopeless |

Just wanted to say thanks for all that have the west coast in their thoughts in this awful time.
I also wanted to say, that as bad as it is, it is far worse for those who have had to evacuate. That must be so traumatic. My heart goes out especially much for them. |

Thank you to everyone who is sending healing vibes to California, Oregon, Washington, etc. We appreciate it immensely and need all we can get. Where I am, in NorCal, we're supposed to get gusty winds tomorrow. That could blow some of the smoke out to the Pacific. Unfortunately, winds also fan fires.
Personally, I'm feeling kind of down today. It's one of those days when everywhere I look there seems to be a locked door. I'm sure the weeks of smoke are getting to me, never seeing a sun or a moon, just filthy, stinking air. And all the devastation, of course. There's surely a collective unconscious of despair out here right now. And covid. Some days I feel able to handle it all, wait it out. Today...March seems like many years ago. Another year-plus of this feels un-doable. All the little perks that make life sparkle, even putting together an outfit to go to my therapy appointment, just the silly little bits of life. I'm realizing that I no longer can find the motivation to go anywhere. I mean, I'm still in recovery from the achilles surgery, true. But...oh, just feeling down and wish it was bedtime already.

I understand how you feel about staying in a tourist spot. Doing that is never my style, either. Wherever in the world I've traveled I avoid setting up camp in touristy locations - and try not to spend much time in them, altogether. Seroquel is my least favorite med, but one thing I will say for it is that taking it prn can be helpful. __________________ |

My mom hired movers for me! This shouldn't take too long I hope!
Also, I got my difficult paperwork done and it's ready to be mailed tomorrow. Yay! Its gonna be really early and that's what my worker said she wanted. I just hope Ive got everything done! Still haven't signed my lease. I will feel better when I do! My new place is very small compared to the place I've had for the last 4 years. But Im planning to live more simply. I just won't have the space to keep everything I've got. But I do want to get a couch. Maybe from Ikea if I have enough money left after paying rent and deposit. I had lunch with Karen today again. I had a salad which was my whole calories for the day and THEN I ordered a piece of cheesecake! My food app got mad and said "tsk tsk" and graphed out my weight gain from today's meal and told me I'd be back where I started soon! The cheesecake filled in the deficit of calories that I had yesterday so I say I'm even. My friend Caleb is taking the day off to come see me on the first. I hope he stays late on Friday or maybe even into Saturday! That would be cool! Prayers and warm thoughts to those living with the fires and smoke. __________________ Ingrezza 80 mg Propranolol 40 mg Benztropine 1 mg Vraylar 1.5 mg Mania (July/August 2024) Mania (December 2023) Mixed episode/Hypomania (September 2023) Depression, Anxiety and Intrusive thoughts (September 2021) Depression & Psychosis (July/August 2021) Mania (April/May 2019) |

I wish there was more that the rest of the country could do to help calm the fires. If there is, I hope it soon gets fully offered. Hugs |

I, personally, yearn for a simpler life. Maybe not so simple as what Henry David Thoreau sought, but still simpler than what I have. My husband makes that a bit difficult. I never wish to part with him, but if I did, I would definitely "Simplify, simplify. " I see that as one of the keys to my mental wellness. "Men [women] have become the tools of their tools...Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify." - Henry David Thoreau |

I convinced my husband to chop a day off of the beach resort where we're staying. Instead, we'll spend the last night at a hotel not far from the Spanish border. That allows us to more easily explore areas far from the beach resort (Pyrenees mountain area) and makes our next day morning drive to Barcelona airport much shorter. I'll also be glad to enjoy a hotel breakfast instead of what we've been having lately.
Hubby wants to visit a particular house for sale in France. I see that as totally impractical because it wastes time (we're not moving to France for at least a year). Then of course the realtor only wishes to show a house they hope we'll buy, which wouldn't be that one. Hubby is so frigging stubborn sometimes. And if I tell him to go see it himself, I am of course the bad one. Also, I looked at that house online and it wouldn't be one that interests me. It's a converted barn. Looking at apartments in Czech Republic? That is practical. |
