Butterflies I know they are pretty but they scare the bejesus out of me. Despise moths, daddy long legs too. When I was a kid they never bothered me lol

That would be up north on the lake. Many beautiful sunsets up there. The water reflecting the colors. An especially colorful sunset occurred when it had been storming and cleared off just before evening and the sun came out.

France 1999.... I was 14 years old and I was going on a French Exchange trip with my high school. I had never been away from home, never holidayed outwith the UK. It was amazing. We went on trips to zoo's, beaches, theme parks, aquarium, the school we were twinned with, a river boat trip, a castle. I loved mostly the theme park as it was a water park, the beaches and the zoo's.

Our weekends have been pretty boring since Covid hit. Saturdays are usually spent cleaning. I vaccuum & mop, while my partner does the bathrooms & changes the sheets. We both pitch in on laundry duty. We've got a pretty "Marxist relationship" where distribution of labor is concerned. Sundays are pretty chill most of the time.

Sarah Maclachan, 1997, senior year of college in Pittsburgh with a good fiend. It was fun but I've not been to another concert because I can't handle the noise. Maybe someday.
Do you find that the 13 months of lockdown makes it hard to start being around people (post vaccines and waiting period of course)? __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, GAD, OCD.

Yes. I feel much awkward around people. I’m going for my second shot soon and will be safe going places but still the mask is everywhere and I depend on lip reading. It’s so much easier to just stay home and not push myself.

Go swimming in Ogunquit. I suppose I could do that now but it would be awfully cold. Would you rather live in a mansion in the worst area of town or 250 square feet in an area you have always dreamt of living.

I went to summer camp as a kid and worked as a camp counselor every summer between the ages of 14 and 20. When I was 20 I was hired by the camp as assistant director. Fun times! Do you like to binge watch shows? __________________ |

I’m not much of a binger, if I have the DVDs and there’s no commercials then I might binge favorite shows. But seriously after the second show of any kind I’m getting antsy. Strange cause I can read all kinds of books for hours but tv I need change.

I don't know what kind of a movie it would turn out to be (a strange one, to be sure), but let's go with Frances McDormand, Willem Dafoe, Joe Pesci...& Chris Farley?

I can’t sing at all. But I love professor Child’s ballads. I’ve forgotten most of them now. Way back, way, way back at the U they had live music at the college coffee shop. One weekend it was a woman who sung old ballads mostly a cappella but also had some renaissance instruments. She told me all about the ballads and I loved them. Most are about fair maidens and mischievous knights.

Yes in high school I use to sing Scottish songs and have done for my exams. There is also a thing here called The Leng Medal which I have done 3 times coming 2nd twice and 3rd. Kids do this at 11 or 12 years of age until 18 years old.

Sadly yes. Not in recent years though. I just wanted to know more about my therapist since I told her so much every week about me. I went and discovered she is normal person. What is your best mental tool in the tool box?

I’m pretty none impulsive. That gives me time to think things though. Of course when I’m manic that goes flying out the window 🪟( always seem to break the glass and do great damage) the key is to be alert to head off the mania by lifestyle and med change
