My daughter got her first "official" college acceptance letter today, it was so bittersweet. You see, my mom who was bipolar is not here to share the news with. She died earlier this year after contracting an infection in the hospital. She went there to get her bipolar meds adjusted after messing with them. Take your meds as perscribed because you CAN. My mom can no longer do that. Still loving you mom.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
