A bonus for her: One-half of the building that houses the rehab facility also houses the nursing home. My uncle lives there. he has dementia. They were eating lunch together today. How sweet!

My mom is doing better now that her sister has stabilized. She has also agreed to try an amino acid and a herbal formula (in a gummie), which has decreased her anxiety.

i so deeply appreciate the concern, the support and the Love offered by this community. :
Thank you for the update. I'm so glad to hear your aunt is better. I imagine it is also healing for her to be close to her husband again. They sound cute

I'm also glad to hear your mom is open to the gummies now. That's wonderful progress!

I am hoping you get some quality rest tonight.

Oh, that sounds sweet. Glad your aunt is on the mend.

Glad too that your mum agreed to try the gummies. Good for her.

I'm home now.

Mum was doing so much better when we left. They cleared her heart, it's not in the greatest shape and is stressed but doing well under the circumstances. They cleared her to eat. She got up sat in her chair and had peaches , pears and an apple cinnamon muffin. The nurse helped her figure out the tv and she was watching hallmark with captions when we left. I feel greatly relieved.

Had a pretty good day today. I went to an Indian buffet with some friends, then to see the movie Maleficent. After that we went to the gym. Then I used the energy I got from the gym to push myself to finally take the recycling to the recycling center, go grocery shopping, and do some cleaning. I feel that today got me out of my slump a little bit. It also made me feel good because going out helped cheer up one of my friend's friends who is going through a pretty rough time right now. Now I am making some mac and cheese. I could make something healthier, but for tonight just going to make it because it's quick and then I'll cook something more tomorrow. I think I'll make some veggie chili and cornbread tomorrow. I also have to bake for a work potluck. Sending compassion to all!

I am so sorry to all those who have lost someone this weekend. Wild coyote and scooter, you are in my thoughts. As are you, nammu, with the situation with your mother. I hope all turns out well!

The last time I felt this was many years ago when my GP at the time abruptly stopped an antidepressant I was on.

I'm so tired because I'm not sleeping much, about 5 hours a night.

But the plus side is I use the time in the morning to write. I'm so far behind.

I'm actually working on an article at the moment. It's been on my mind for a while so I'm finding it easy to write because the idea is well developed.

I had hoped to finish my book in October but things became really busy and I hardly wrote that month. At this rate I'll be finished by February. I guess it'll be a good start to 2020.

A family friend died earlier this week as a result of a stroke. The friend was initially a friend of my side of the family and became friends with my wife's side too when we got married so many years ago. She and my sister had a good relationship. The funeral might be in a week or so.

You're in my thoughts WC, namu, birddancer, and others. I appreciate your support and hope the best for your respective situations.
I am sorry for your loss, scooter.

I’ve had a great weekend so far. We made it to the mountains around 7pm last night and checked in. Our inn upgraded us to one of the cabins free of charge so that was nice. Our room is very big and we have a king size bed. It’s very pretty. Yesterday we went to a great restaurant after we got here. It was so good! Then today we went to a really cool antique market. Found a few great Christmas presents. I found a vintage set of Eagles football glasses for my brother and a vintage yeungling can for my BIL, as well as an antique farmers almanac for my grandmother. Then we went to lunch at a great place, and went to a vineyard. I bought some great wines, another Christmas gift for my SIL, and then we came back to the room. Then off to another great restaurant for dinner. It’s been such a nice day!

Tomorrow we are going to get breakfast then head back home. We don’t have to pick up my son until about 1pm so we will probably just chill out, get some errands done, etc.

I am finally cleared to start work on Monday! So I can finally start my job. I know the kid I’m going to be working with and he is WILD. He’s a primary student, which will be really different for me since I’ve only ever worked with middle/high school students. But it should be a refreshing challenge.

So glad I had this nice weekend away!

I have so much cleaning I need to catch up on, it's extremely overwhelming to think about. I didn't keep up with it through the months I was having psychosis and it's piled up over all that time. I love having my place nice and clean and want to get it that way again though. I'm trying to think of a way to make it more fun. Music generally helps. Breaking it down into different tasks. I guess I'll see how it goes tomorrow, I'm going to spend a majority of the day working on it and probably into the week.

3 more weeks and I should get some news regarding college. Just praying it all goes the way I'm hoping it does.

It's been a week since my abilify was increased. No problems, and doing really well. It's obliterated my symptoms, especially the voices and paranoia. I'm very thankful for it. I never thought things could be so quiet in my head

I'm still fighting with pneumonia (it's 1 step forward, 2 steps back).

It's also my birthday today - and I'm too sick to go out and celebrate but I've gotten so many texts and calls I feel very blessed.

I've been feeling quiet and mostly just lurking lately. I'm praying for all of you going through hard times with loss, illness, and family and am happy for those who have shared good news. Hugs to everyone.

Okay ... I just spent forever replying to everyone and Poof PC ate it

I’ll try again but I’m sure I won’t be so wordy ..... which you all might enjoy better Hahaha

Wild I’m so glad your having a great trip and anniversary

Bluebird.. yes lots of music and set a timer for 15 mins

Polilbeth. I’m sorry your pneumonia is being so stubborn. Hope you make a turn for the better fast and celebrate when your feeling better Happy Birthday

WC awww I’m sorry I’m lost a good friend. Fantastic news about your aunt. One hospital gave no hope , she got moved to another and now she’s having lunch with her sweetheart Fantastic

IZ Thanks for the lovely compliment. How’s work going?? Are you getting enough sleep ? Still busy with meet ups ?? I sure wish I had some here I do isolate too much

BirdDancer, i hate that your struggling I hope Pdoc and T can help, I’m always around

Jennifer I hate that life is knocking you down.. can M drive a bit further next time ? Do you think maybe you should see a T for a while? A lot of time having that accountability can help, just a thought

Yellow ??? Holy Busy day ! I’m jealous !
