BtnFlyGuy's Journal

  It's officially fall here in New England and with it is likely to come the down side of my cycle. I don't get depressed, but my hibernation impulse sets in. This year is different, however, I had a good summer with no allcohol and took my meds just like I'm supposed to. Something I have never been able to do for more than a few weeks at a time. I have two support groups plus this one and even feel confident enough to try dating again, albeit by phone and the net. Hey, this is a start!

  Plan for the months ahead are to get out more on the bike, keep the yard from piling up in leaves and the walks free of snow later on; also get the basement converted back to a boatbulding workshop. I'm going to buy a camera so I can document this in case I have a setback or when I need "positive" memories. Besides, this way I can share with my friends and show them their patience with me was not unrewarded. The goal for the beginning of summer is to have my license back and have a car.
