Trying to get ahold of my case manager who said she'd help me with this paperwork. I left her a message yesterday and her voicemail says she will get back to "you" "the next business day". So that's today. I hope she calls.
My mom is coming over to help tackle the kitchen! I feel at such a loss here typing this instead of DOING SOMETHING! Talking with Caleb at the moment. He invited me to a wedding but said "It's too bad you don't live closer". He does not want to come pick me up for this and bring me back to his place. Oh well. I'm calling "covid" and I don't want to go anyway. So I guess I'll post this and call my mom to see when she wants to come over here. __________________ Wellbutrin XL 300 mg Caplyta 42 mg Ingrezza 80 mg Ativan .5 mg 2x/day Propranolol 20 mg 2x/day Mania (December 2023) Mixed episode/Hypomania (September 2023) Depression, Anxiety and Intrusive thoughts (September 2021) Depression & Psychosis (July/August 2021) Mania (April/May 2019) |

We are staying across the road from beaches, including a nude beach. Some people fully nude. The sand is kind of brownish in color. Today we went to the Gothic quarter and to a notable cathedral. Tomorrow we might see the buildings by Gaudí. As for the food, haven't had enough here to decide by a long shot. Plus, it's tough with my husband's garlic allergy. I think Catalan food is heavy garlic focused. I look forward to tomorrow as a museum day. Dali Museum maybe? I also like Joan Miro, and they also have a Picasso Museum. I suppose I am just more of a Francophile. Again, I am sure much more time would be needed for me to establish any firm thoughts on Barcelona. I think Seville (which I visited years back) is likely prettier in my view. I love their azulejos. I think Barcelona is likely one too many places on our itinerary. Perhaps in the future, we will visit again with a different mindframe. I just feel so ill at ease in Barcelona. I felt good in France. We will return to France (southern) the day after tomorrow. Then on to Czech Republic, some days later. |

@Soupe du jour I just have to say, Comunitat de Valencia. I lived in Sagunto for two years. Barcelona is nice and all, but Sagunto has a Roman theatre. It's just a couple of hours down the road from Barcelona. ... and Sagunto has some awesome paella. I could go on... Like, look into the towns of Albarracín and Morella. They're both very cool - and off the beaten path. There are cave paintings accessible around Albarracín. Morella is an all-around lovely experience with a castle on top of the hill. Be prepared to walk. Oops, I guess I did go on. Cultural adventures rule!

I love paella, too. I've made Paella Valenciana a few times (without the garlic) and it turned out well. I would also enjoy ones with seafood. I don't make them because my husband won't eat clams, mussels, squid, or octopus. Mussels and calamari seem to be popular here in Barcelona. I've seen them on various menus. Maybe I will order one tomorrow. |

I opened the paperwork. First thing is says is I need copies of my gas/electric bill and my water bill! Well, I THREW THOSE OUT the other day! UGH. Why? Because I'm stupid and I was in blind-get-rid-of mode! So, I had to call and ask for them to be emailed to me so I could print them. I hope they're good enough! I don't trust the mail to get the gas/electric bill to me in time though I DID ask for them to snail mail me, too. The water bill was in with my portal where I pay water and rent on my desktop. (User and pw are saved there and I can't get the pw to work on other computers and I have no printer.) I also need copies of my tax returns and I don't have them because I applied for the stimulus by filing with a simple form even though I didn't actually file because I don't make enough money. So now I have to mail the form in and it probably won't arrive in time! I TOLD you this paperwork sucked ***...
OH- and my mom IS coming over now. Hopefully with the bills she printed for me. That's SOMEthing at least. __________________ Wellbutrin XL 300 mg Caplyta 42 mg Ingrezza 80 mg Ativan .5 mg 2x/day Propranolol 20 mg 2x/day Mania (December 2023) Mixed episode/Hypomania (September 2023) Depression, Anxiety and Intrusive thoughts (September 2021) Depression & Psychosis (July/August 2021) Mania (April/May 2019) |

The apocalypse is here. There are actually no clouds whatsoever on satellite. Ran 6 miles. I smell like a campfire.

I’m still feeling decently. Still tired but not feeling too bad. My mom is out of state on a small family vacation which I’m nervous about but so far she seems to be doing ok and is staying 6 feet away and they are mostly outside. Also it’s been too cold to go to the lake which I think is where it’s bad. Plus she found some flavors of soda for me that are not available in my state. So I feel like it’s kinda working out for me too.

Today is a different color. Yesterday was deep yellow/amber. Today there's a grey haze over everything and ashes are falling. I have to take my recycling out and I keep putting it off because of the air and that smell...I'm so weary of smelling smoke.
I have been feeling very anxious and uncomfortably depressed/hypomanic/depressed/mixed state is the best way to put it. A low, but persistent level of paranoia. Pdoc raised a couple of med doses starting Tuesday; I might be feeling a bit more stable today. Honestly wish I could just lie in bed and sleep until tomorrow, just rest my mind and body while I feed myself meds to stabilize, lol. __________________ |

I filled out some of the paperwork and got two proofs I needed (needed to drive there) fairly easily. So more later. Figured out what my ex's address is. He hates it when I ask him for his information every year so this year I found it for myself! This year, I think I'll make a copy of this paperwork even though it has to be filled out every year. Maybe I can save myself some brain power next year? I also asked at the credit union about applying for a credit card. She said they don't like to do secured cards- they'd rather do regular credit cards. Maybe I can get one?! That would be nice. But I'm going to wait until after I move when the dust has settled. Oh and my case manager never called me back. So much for "within the next business day". When I was getting a piece of paper for my proofs from the Department of Human Services (food stamps and medicaid) there was a guy there with issues about his food stamp card not working. Apparently, he hadn't picked a PIN and the poor guy working there was trying to tell him this through the glass door - they don't let you in anymore- and the guy just started spewing at me about "This how all government is. They should just use your driver's license for everything.... They this and they that and complain complain complain!" I, on the other hand, got in and out easily with what I wanted! Go me! Stuff is still everywhere here. But N3 is coming by Saturday to finish up his stuff. I want to get rid of a ton of stuff from the kitchen. For instance: I don't need 20 mugs. I need 2 or 3 and that's it. I don't need a crock pot- I never use it. Stuff like that.
To those of you in the smoke, I feel for you. That must be awful. B- why are you riding all that way in the smoke? My sister says the smoke is out her way, too. She lives in California. Here, it was chilly - 66 F today I could've worn jeans and a sweatshirt, but I went out in shorts and a t-shirt anyway. Having some dried seaweed and corn for dinner. Maybe later I'll have some chicken. Today is the 10th. HURRY HURRY HURRY on the paperwork! __________________ Wellbutrin XL 300 mg Caplyta 42 mg Ingrezza 80 mg Ativan .5 mg 2x/day Propranolol 20 mg 2x/day Mania (December 2023) Mixed episode/Hypomania (September 2023) Depression, Anxiety and Intrusive thoughts (September 2021) Depression & Psychosis (July/August 2021) Mania (April/May 2019) |

Mom told my grandma went to visit grandpa. She said she was supposed to stay six feet away but **** that, right? She held his hand. He didn’t speak but squeezed her hand. She said he looks pretty gone. My mom seems to be under the impression that the home will let us know when death is imminent so we can all go in (one at a time, of course - can’t let him catch coronavirus :eyeroll: ) but she’s not sure. I hope I do get to say goodbye to him. He’s not aware enough to make it worth trying to stand outside of his window. I won’t take my son though. I don’t think it’s necessary. If it were a closer family member I would but I think it would just scare him. I will take him to the funeral though. I took him to his grandfather’s who he was very close to. I didn’t take him to his father’s but that’s only because he was so young, only four. I don’t think he would have understood.
Anxiety is ok, I don’t feel like I’m on edge waiting. I get a good distraction at work. My student was a little better today. We finally talked to his mom. Apparently he went inpatient for a massive overdose after an argument with his father how sad. He’s only eleven. At first I didn’t understand why he wasn’t on meds but after talking with her I understand where she’s coming from. He’s been on meds since he was five, so she wants him to detox from them to see how he really is and what his actual dx might be now that he’s older. I respect that. __________________ Of course it is happening inside your head. But why on earth should that mean that it is not real? -Albus Dumbledore That’s life. If nothing else, that is life.
