Well we all care about you…I know digital isn’t the same but if I were there I’d totally do a Friendsgiving with you.

I am doing pretty well this morning. I was pretty anxious being around people for Thanksgiving, not gonna lie. But I feel like my social anxiety is pretty justified these days.

Anyway, I am back to trying to figure stuff out today. I worked on my thesis a bit this morning. Progress....

I talked to my sister today. She said she's gonna come over on Sunday so we'll see how that goes. I'm going to bake her some chocolate chip pumpkin bread since I still have another can of pumpkin leftover.

Been watching The Great British Baking show (the holiday edition seasons) and really enjoying it. It's fun and relaxing to watch

I hope it goes well. I've been alone or only with my cat over the holidays for most of my adult life. It's hard to tell what's worse, being tense that people are around or being all alone. I used to take long walks on Thanksgiving, to Prospect park over the fields. I really wish I hadn't gotten so weak. I don't understand what happened to me.

I've been pulling on my hair too. After years of not pulling it out. It's the smoke breaks, I get steeped in smoke and it irritates my eyes, nose, and scalp, and my clothes all have that bitter cigarette smoke stench.

Abilify makes me really amped up, but the Thorazine increase and my mood stabilizer have leveled that out

I’m sorry for what you’re going through Angelique

Walks through prospect park sound wonderful.

Could you watch some nature documentaries to maybe imagine you’re there? I know it’s definitely not the same but maybe now since you’re not able to go there it might be relaxing to lay back and watch some nature documentaries

Walked to the store today

There’s a thing downstairs in the community room later today. They’re going to be playing a live DJ from Twitch on the huge flatscreen hooked up to the internet. So that’s at 3 to 5pm. So I’m gonna go to that tonight

In about an hour or so I’m gonna bake the chocolate chip pumpkin bread

Does it help to have something to do with your hands? I pick at my skin a lot and I find I always need to have something to do with my hands like writing in my journal, or drawing , doing word puzzles, etc. just anything that keeps my hands from being idle. But the smoke thing sounds really frustrating. I’m sorry you have to deal with that is there a place for non smokers to sit outside?

Pumpkin bread is done. It came out good. The loaves are kind of thin because I divided the batter into two this time so my sister can take one home when she comes tomorrow, but it’s still really good
