Thank you. He has paranoid schizophrenia and needs to go IP. I’m working on making that happen.

I've been doing chores this morning. I've washed dishes and changed the sheets on my bed. I'm pretty tired now. That's all I'm going to do today. Tomorrow I will deal with meds.

- Try to do meaningful things after that ...

May you all have a meaningful weekend and do only what is possible for you exactly were you are in the here and now that is you!

My day has not been good so far. I have felt too depressed to do anything. I feel frustreted by not being able to plan properly because I don't know how depressed I will be the next day.

I want to try to do at least something this day according to my energy level

All the best!

I ended up doing some more work:

1. Cleaned off my kitchen table.
2. Went thru my mail.
3. Did laundry.
4. Cooked red beans and rice.
5. Deposited two checks.
6. Cleaned off my bathroom counter.

I'm surprised at all the energy I had. This is a very productive day. It's time to relax now. Hope everyone is doing well!

I did #2, #4 and #5. Today wore me out. I had to make follow up appointments and deal with pushy people. Tomorrow I will clean the litter box and order groceries. If I can fix my issue with the pushy people, I might relax enough to paint rocks.

Sunflower123 · Jan 08, 2019, 09:55 PM
