Now everybody is just waiting on the inspection. I hope they do them in the morning- the lady at the new apartment complex said they usually do, but no promises- so we can get the moving crew going at 11:00 when they get here. *Crossing fingers!* They were trying to see if they could get the inspection tomorrow, but I guess not. Those inspection people are really powerful. They run the show, ya know? Now trying to move my internet service....

My mom and I met my aunt at an arboretum today and had a cold picnic by a lake and then walked around. There is a very old cemetery on the premises that was neat and we explored a Japanese garden and some other random paths. It was so nice to be somewhere different and to move more than usual with a bonus of seeing my aunt as another big change. Leaves are just starting to be pretty. We're going back in a few weeks when they peak.
I needed a good day. Some sad stuff is coming soon. __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, GAD, OCD. Clozapine 250 mg, Emsam 12 mg/day patch, topamax 25 mg, ,Gabapentin 1700 mg & 100-2 PRN,. 1.5 mg clonazepam., 50 mg Seroquel |

I usually wait and get my flu shot in October but decided to get it today. Great decision! Nobody was in the pharmacy. I was the only one there. Had to get my drivers license renewed on line as the dmv is closed in my town. The sign says there’s no staff. I bet they were all old and retired rather than work in the pandemic. According to the signs the office they are referring people to is 50 minutes away in a much more populated area. Glad I could renew online.

Heya, not sure if I posted this morning but the news today was that last night there was little movement of the fire because winds were minimal. Sadly, high winds are predicted now through Friday. I'm hoping they're not the prevailing northerlies that we usually get this time of year.

Having a problem. Caleb is supposed to show up at 3 p.m. tomorrow. I hope to be finished packing by then. Then we are going out to eat. The problem is he is a bad chain smoker- 1-2 packs a day. He thinks he will smoke on my balcony but the lease says no smoking on property! His response to this was "If they catch me I'll feign ignorance"! After I JUST read the lease?? Yeah right. The lease even says "you are responsible for your guests". I don't want to get into a fight with him but I just can't let him smoke if that's the rules. My balcony does NOT face the woods so people could see him plain as day out there smoking. How do I tell someone who is that much of a smoker that he can't smoke in my new apartment? That he needs to go to the car or something??
I just texted him asking if he could smoke in the car because I dont feel comfortable breaking my lease right out of the starting gate. He will probably cancel our plans but oh well. __________________ 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) |

My mother is upset with me. She says I help others too much and don't help her. She forgets how much I did for her when she had her surgery and many other things.
She says that she's completely alone and God forbid she would have to depend on me for anything. She seems to have developed a very selective memory. So now we're not on speaking terms. Of course the ball is in my court to apologize. For what I don't know. But nothing's going to happen until I say I'm sorry. I don't see that happening anytime soon. __________________ * Dx: Unspecified Bipolar and Related Disorder * Rx: Latuda, Remeron, Prozac, Klonopin, Vraylar My avatar picture is a photo of the Whirlpool Galaxy I took in April 2023.

Moose, congrats on the lease signing! Coincidentally, my husband signed the lease on the place we're renting starting in November.
Nammu, I was telling my husband that we should get the flu shot soon, too. Maybe tomorrow. I think it's so important, especially with covid 19 around. |

I talked to my psychiatrist today for the first time since before our trip. I think he is truly shocked that our move to Europe is a reality and imminent. I think he was also a bit surprised how level my mood is and my optimism. I told him that my hubby is not doing nearly as well.
We have SOOOO much to do to prepare the house! Hubby is dragging butt a little, but I got him to do a few things. I, on the other hand, am doing quite a bit. Some is physical stuff that is not so great for my sprained back, shoulder, and neck. I hope I don't regret pushing myself too hard! We need to decide on flooring and book it. I'd have it booked by now, but Hubby wants a 4th quote. Fourth?!?! Just book it already! Plus, our realtor is on my butt about it. Today I posted about seven things on Craigslist. A few are freebies. One of the freebies, a dresser, was already snatched up. They came tonight at 7 pm to pick it up. It was an item that the stager said to hide. We didn't really want it, so I'm glad it's gone. Plus, it used to be in a spot in the foyer that almost everything else in the house will pass by during the move. It's good that space is freed up. I'll post two additional things on Craigslist tomorrow. The realtor called me three times today, helping to get some balls rolling. The painter/handyman is due to come tomorrow to bring the painted doors & drawers and schedule the remaining cabinet painting and interior house painting. The photographer is coming next Tuesday to photograph the exterior areas of the house. We need to clean it all up and plant some new flowers. Squirrels went crazy digging holes in our flower boxes in our absence (dirt everywhere), plus some flowers dried up too much. We had to buy new ones for planting. Hubby left the new pansies on the front lawn without spraying them with deer repellent. Mistake! A deer ate the flowers off. Boo! We also need to do some touchups on the deck and actually stage it. My herb garden could use some sprucing up. CALGON TAKE ME AWAY!!!!! The realtor asked "Are you going to be ready by then?" I responded "I'll make it work!" a la Tim Gunn. Yesterday, my nephrologist gave me an assignment to take and track my blood pressure twice per day (morn/evening) for seven days. I'll start tomorrow. He pushed me to buy a sleeve blood pressure monitor, but we already own a wrist type. Hubby thinks the wrist type is more than good enough. I guess I'll just use that, against the doctor's wishes. It's not inaccurate. I took my pressure twice today and it was plenty high at 145 / something. Not good! I took an Ativan a bit ago. Maybe that will lower it a bit? I have been revved up. A mild hypomania? Anxious energy? Both? Anyway, I talk to the nephrologist again in three weeks. Pdoc only in two, and every two weeks for a while after. That might help lower my blood pressure. |

Went from being deeply depressed for about 1 week to moderate but impactful mania. In a weird mood right now, but just took my meds

It was a rainy day and my mood matched. In literature this is called "pathetic fallacy." The "pathetic" is certainly right! I had a hard time getting myself to go out for coffee but i managed. It was just okay. I won all my games at Scrabble club. I should clean up in rating point gains. In the COVID situation officials are not considering another lockdown. I was happy to hear that. Almost one year to the day that last year's Fall (hypo)mania ended. Almost a solid year of mild depression. I'm managing.
