I am so sorry for the loss of your mother and father so close together. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Please take good care of you. You’ve been through a really tough time

Made it to Daughter’s but staying in a hotel because the beds are firmer here. A few years ago, the hubby was struck by a truck when he had stopped to help someone broken down on the highway. The guy he stopped to help had both his ankles amputated by his car as the speeding truck ran off the road and hit them. The hubby was wearing his riding boots so he broke both ankles a tibia and shattered his hip and had a chunk of metal go thru both his legs. The other guy died on the scene. This was in ‘15. The hubs recovered and only has a slight limp when he’s tired but cannot handle any really soft beds.

Anyway...we got here fine and I even had enough energy and Peopleing left in me to help my daughter get the birthday cake for the grand’s fifth birthday party tomorrow then the hubby and I watched the little dude while they had an impromptu movie date night.

I don’t know how to explain the joy that little mini man brings into my heart. Nothing, and I mean nothing...will ever feel as strong as my love for him. It’s bizarre and quite befuddling. I thought there was no way I could love any fiercer than I love my children and my hubby...but from the second my daughter put that tiny, tot in my arms I knew I would die a thousand horrific, painful deaths if I had to in order to keep that 9 pound, wriggling bundle of flesh safe and the love only grows stronger every single day. I am in my happy place. I hope everyone has a marvelous weekend...and, I saw a shooting star, so yeah...come and grab some of this good karmic energy and pass it on down!

Feel almost tacky posting my own trivialities after reading that, hope no one minds to much. Its been a couple days now since dropping depakote to below therapeutic range as I'm on the way to dropping it entirely for tremors... Problem is, I can feel my mind picking up speed as it happens and am a little worried now as to what will happen when I go off it completely. Being rid of the tremors will be nice, but if it ends up with me as a reckless idiot in the process, then maybe not so nice.

I do have instructions and meds for increasing my AP if I get into a real race mode with my thoughts, but will I really want to put the breaks on after almost two years of control... I dunno.

I've been getting about 3-5 hours of sleep for the past few nights. Kind of concerned as I'm REALLY EXCITED. I don't know what I'm feeling. I have this strange butterflies like chilly feeling all over my body like a perpetual Christmas morning as a kid only better.

I might be going up.

I've decided to give up on the sisterhood book (I was enjoying it, sure), but the plots were getting a tiny bit confusing- and it was getting a little long, so I'm reading something simpler now.. I'm reading cut off, about a woman who loses her phone in a cafe (it is something I can cope with for the moment)

yesterday, where I live, it was the switching on of the christmas lights, so that meant their was a lot of fireworks (I say a lot of fireworks, it was a short display), but more than I've ever had to deal with. I handled it pretty well, and I even walked to my window to watch some of them (this is coming from the woman who gets triggered a lot by fireworks), so I think of that as a win- I watched some fireworks in the sky.

started my new book.. only read a chapter but I want to read more later (just here briefly to update the threads I want to)
I''m feeling good, and tonight I'm having a pizza takeaway so even better (my only takeaway this week)

of course the downside is the lacck of sleep, but is it?

barely affecting me so I guess not
