In college I was on the women’s unofficial rugby team. We went to play at another campus then after the games went up to the cliffs to party. As usual all there was to drink was beer which I don’t like so I wondered off by myself. Was sitting on the cliff overlooking the the town. It was dark and the sky had millions of stars and the town below had lights twinkling. It was beautiful, awesome. I felt so content. I’ll never forget it.

Very much up in the air at the moment what with the surgery aftermath. Usually, it was 9am. Since my work is typically mid-shift, I've got time!

Not accidentally. I’ve had foot surgery in which my bones were broken and reset and spinal surgery in which my spine was cut to give the surgeon access to the spinal cord.

That my parents are only human, with human foibles and flaws. I mean, it's a lesson we all have to learn eventually, but it was the fact I had to learn it so young and so dramatically that make it stick out in my mind.

>> Has your intuition about someone (for good or ill) ever been proven right?
It's been right pretty much all the time; I often decide to ignore it and suffer the consequence. I think that's part of getting to know yourself - trusting yourself enough to listen to yourself.

More of a hobby I want to get back into, but I'd love to restart my guitar lessons! Haven't touched a guitar in at least ten years!

Nope. Never been on a train, and only short domestic flights regular class.

It's not a perfect fix, but I often try to put myself around people in a way where I can just be there. Think a midnight showing of a movie or listening to music at a small venue (or even a large one).
Basically, I give myself a distraction where I'm out in the world, but there's no expectation to put myself out there.

The zoo in the city where I go for psych and breast care. I'm hoping to go again in a few weeks as a sort of reward for getting through my breast imaging appointments.

I’m craving a vegetarian diet, specifically the food a co-op in Minneapolis used to make. Mmm healthy and affordable

One of the worst jobs I've ever seen is men who have to drag the bodies of deer that were hit on the highway over a bank to get rid of them. I could never do that. I don't get grossed out easily but that would do it.
I'm just starting to venture into the world without masks. Are there any places you still wear a mask? I'm not sure I can ever go into Walmart without one again. It's so gross in there. __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, GAD, OCD.

No, I don’t wear a mask anywhere anymore. But I do keep my distance from people. I joined a study for respiratory health and they keep sending me reminders to call them if I have any symptoms but I’ve only had one respiratory illness and it was covid, so it didn’t count. That’s the only thing I’ve had since 2019. So knock on wood I must be doing something right.
