I might try and steal a little bit of @Soupe du jour's thunder when i say that i have finally got four of twelve bags of donations out for pick-up! They have been hanging around since Spring when i got that boost of energy and cleaned out my bedroom. The charity wasn't picking-up due to COVID until recently and i was so vexed by all the bags in here i considered throwing them out which would have been a real shame, some nice things in there, some even with the price tags still on. Glad it never came to that! Nice to reclaim the space! Yes, it DOES feel good, Soupe! If the pick-up goes well i work on the rest of the bags. My condo is super picky -- that's why i don't dare put it all out at once.
@BethRags: Glad you had a nice walk today and that your surgery is proving to be a success! I know what you mean about overheating. Also it's so hard to know what to wear this time of year. @bpcyclist: Glad you had a nice visit from a PC member! Hugs to all who struggle!

whatever
Thank you for the mention  It sure is hard to know what to wear at this time. I start out all covered up in the chilly morning, but by afternoon even shorts and a t-shirt feel too warm.

I figured it out! God is just putting me through all sorts of different realities to see what I can handle and after a series of tests He will reward me with the perfect reality. I gotta pass these "tests." I think I'm doinig good because I'm still alive and when I "die" (haha,) that'll be when we figure out the perfect reality for me.
the computer just became 4th-dimensional. P-nurse wants me to go up on the Seroquel...i DO NOT trust her and I have not heard of any such business from those children I ctrst so I will listen to Their voice and taper myself off tegretol because it's making me worse. I know what's best for me, some chick who went to college a couple more years than me who has never seen me doesn't. |

Yesterday was great. I felt really good. Today not so much. I woke up this morning in a good amount of pain and it hasn’t died down much. I’ve managed with just Tylenol. I’ve been in bed most of the time although I was able to stop for a drink at Sonic about half an hour ago. I ordered a couple things from this site called Sensory Goods. Some stuff that will hopefully help with my anxiety this coming winter. I plan on returning all my narco drunk purchases. I didn’t know how loopy that stuff made you and all the weird **** you do while taking it. No wonder they tell you not to work while taking it. I actually thought it was snowing in 60 degree weather the other day.

Happily dropping the minute amount of Seroquel off my bedtime med regime. The ZzzQuil alone seems to induce sleep just fine, and I stay asleep fairly well.
My husband's water heater went crazy and flooded his garage in which thousands of books are stored, mostly on shelves. It's a disaster. We were trying every google suggestion last night; nothing helped. The water just keeps streaming out of the pipe attached to the top of the water heater. Hopefully, a plumber will be able to come out today. While I'm waiting to hear from my husband I will be doing some weaving.I'm making a tapestry for my wall.

What access to psychiatric care do you or could you have right now? Are you hearing voices? What are all current meds? Let's just sort this out.

I did some moving prep work this morning, but then totally fizzled out. One of the more relaxing and satisfying things I did was to just lounge in bed matching a huge pile of loose socks, and using a fuzz remover to rejuvenate the looks of some of them. Amazing what simple activities can do!
Our painter/handyman and his assistant left early today. I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's because they're waiting to get into my husband's office to do prep there. Not yet happening! Hubby has a long ways to go. He is in there now working on it. I'm not because I really have little I can do there. There are a few things I could do elsewhere, but I've decided not to. I need some time off. I was supposed to have had a video session with my psychiatrist at 2:30 pm. I waited, and waited, and waited, until 3 pm, then shutdown the portal page. He soon after called saying he got mixed up about his schedule. He then gave me a time tomorrow. Then two minutes later changed to this afternoon. As I wrote in BethRags' thread about these tele/video sessions, I am left feeling uninspired to even have one. I almost offered to just skip this one and wait until the next already scheduled appointment. I really wish I had a cupcake on hand. I feel like eating a cupcake. Vanilla with vanilla icing. |

Maintenance came over to do the annual work on the furnace. I had my apartment recertification interview today. It went well, it was basically just going through some paperwork and updating anything that needed to be updated. After that I had to order an updated copy of my SSI and SSP benefit letters. So hopefully those come in the mail soon so I can turn them in to the property manager.
Had my dentist appointment. I only have 1 more to go and I'll be done!!! Thank God. Then I'll just have to keep up with brushing, flossing, and regular cleanings. Relieved that's all taken care of. I checked my BMI and I'm officially 1 pound away from being back in the normal weight range for my height!!! So excited about that. It's been hard to lose the weight but metformin and healthier eating has helped a lot. Going grocery shopping tomorrow, and Friday. Have to do my trips separately because I can only carry so much (I take the bus)

My new debt card came today. Now I have a totally new updated wallet. New credit card, new DL and new debt card. I’m loath to cut up my old credit card tho cause it’s a funky green footprint. But they discontinued that and I picked out a galaxy for the new card. But I miss the green footprint, it was a reminder to myself to keep my purchases small. My debt is the same and unfortunately my DL is the same picture too. I renewed it on line and they doubled the insult by using my picture twice, once in color and a smaller black and white photo. (Blows raspberry) my hair is now halfway down my back and in that photo it was ear length.
Tomorrow I break the bubble and go to my daughter’s house to watch frozen 2 with her and my granddaughter. It’s been months!

My kid was an angel on virtual today, as I figured.
I think of him often, trying to figure him out. I’m no doctor but I’ve been around the block enough times as a patient to recognize certain behavior when I see it. I have my own ideas about him, none confirmed and all of which are devastating and foreboding for the future considering he is exhibiting symptoms so young. I expect he will have a rough go of it for a long time and I only hope he manages to learn coping skills for his violent impulses so does not get himself into real legal trouble down the road. My mother called me today to tell me my grandfather seems to be very close to the end. He is no longer drinking anything at all and no longer responding to anything around him. She said when she visited on Sunday he reacted to the special picture I took of my son with a small smile, and he was able to semi-laugh at a few jokes she read out of a joke book. But today...nothing. almost as if he is in a coma, which honestly he probably is. My brother asked me if I was considering visiting and I was honest and told him no. I think it would upset me too much to see him like that and if I did, my last memories of him would be those of him lifeless and gaunt. Right now I can remember him from July 4, where he was able to join us at the table for a hot dog and cole slaw. I believe that’s the last time I saw him before he went into the nursing home and Covid restrictions meant I couldn’t visit him. I’d rather remember him smiling and talking. Anyway that’s the news for tonight.

Not okay. Can you call the clinic and say:"I am Sapien. Nurse Judy is my doc and I am still super duper duper psychotic."? Can you do that? I really think you must.
