I wear an opal ring when I am going out somewhere. Lately I've not worn i much thanks to the pandemic.

I haven't purchased a single thing, but I suppose Hubby and I better get something for his sister and maybe nephews. I haven't exchanged with my siblings or friends for years. I do usually buy something for my father. I might just order from Amazon US to have it sent directly to him. It would be too much of a hassle sending it from Europe.
When this pandemic is truly truly over, what do you most look forward to? __________________ Dx: Bipolar type 1 Psych Medications: * Tegretol XR (carbamazepine ER) 800 mg * Lamictal (lamotrigine) 150 mg * Seroquel XR (quetiapine ER) 600 mg I also take meds for blood pressure, cholesterol, and tachycardia. |

Not having to wear a mask. I don’t really mind, it’s just that it’s a hassle to remember. There’s no mandates where I am, but I’d rather be safe than sorry. So I wear mine everywhere.
It’s unusual not to have snow yet here. Has it snowed where you live yet? Do you get snow where you live? __________________ Nammu …Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

Last year my sister's family brought sleds up and we had a blast sledding down our hill with my nieces, sister and BIL. Even my mom went down the hill. It was so much fun.

We watch wheel of fortune every night. Jeopardy is on here mid afternoon so that makes it hard but I think Mayim Bailik is an excellent quiz host. Ken Jennings is ok, but little blossom all grown up is better.
Mostly I own T shirts and hoodies so last night I bought a dressy shirt to wear to a Christmas musical. How often do you buy clothes? __________________ Nammu …Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

I haven't bought any clothes in the last two years. Maybe more. One of my manic episodes provided clothes 'till the day I die. Which will be soon. I'm turning 72 tomorrow.

One of my college psych professors. He changed my life through kindness and helped me see I might have talent for working in a psych setting. We're still in touch 23 years later.
Do you wear a mask in therapy and if so do you think it makes therapy harder? __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, GAD, OCD. Clozapine 250 mg, Emsam 12 mg/day patch, topamax 25 mg, ,Gabapentin 1700 mg & 100-2 PRN,. 1.5 mg clonazepam., 50 mg Seroquel |

It used to be winter because of the long, dark, cold days and nights and I'm terrified to drive in snow. Now I live in a southern climate and don't have to worry about it so I'm not sure. It'll be interesting to see how my mood is this first year.

I have to say that movie where the mum is always saying the kid will shoot his eye out if he gets the BB gun. Lots of good memories. I shot the lit lightbulb in the basement out! Heh heh. Just googled the name, A Christmas story. I’ve only seen it maybe 3 times but it’s my favorite.
Mum has a favorite ceramic Christmas tree. She’s had it since the 70’s. Do you have any old favorite ornaments or decorations? __________________ Nammu …Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

And how coincidental! My favorite Christmas decoration is a ceramic tree that MY mother also made in a ceramics class. I think it was already in the shape, but she assembled and painted it. It was always my parrots' Christmas tree. I unpacked it a week ago. My husband ordered a new bulb for it. We have a convertor plug (from US to European). Attached is a photo I just snapped. What do you do to keep your life feeling as "normal" as possible? __________________ Dx: Bipolar type 1 Psych Medications: * Tegretol XR (carbamazepine ER) 800 mg * Lamictal (lamotrigine) 150 mg * Seroquel XR (quetiapine ER) 600 mg I also take meds for blood pressure, cholesterol, and tachycardia. |

Hmmm 🤔 I’d say I stay as normal as possible by keeping to a rough schedule. I have a night time routine, watch Stephen Colbert, ( sometimes Seth Meyers) go to bed, take meds, eat cheese, read, turn light out. I usually wake before the sun but stay in bed until it gets light. Have my glass of chai. Those are the things that stay the same week after week. What varies is in between the morning and evening. Since I rarely go anywhere the mask wearing is limited. Also helping the normal feeling is feeding the cat, getting our meals on wheels, wheel of fortune at 6:30pm Monday- Saturday on Sunday mum has here TV feed of a Lutheran service then her radio feed of her church. Yeah I’d say the many routines we have help establish a sense of normalcy. It might seem boring but I’m doing very well with this. I have my art classes I sign up for when they have them, my aqua classes I haven’t been attending lately, the real reason is I’m a bit worried about the covid because they are now so big and nobody masks up. But my books ground me. The library is a god send. Wow! My life is very normal now! Who would have guessed! Speaking of all these routines, …. If you could choose to do anything for a day what would it be? __________________ Nammu …Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.
