Well the Abilify seems to be working.  I've had about 4 almost normal days in a row.  I went from 20 to 30mg 5 days ago and am feeling pretty good.  I am certainly not manic anymore.  And no crash yet from the high.  I'm still not sleeping well but I hate wasting life anyway.The family is doing good.  Remmington is holding steady during school, still some days where he is wound up but he is learning to keep his hands to himself.  His mid term grades were better than his first quarter report card so he is finally being challanged for the first time this year.The old lady is still late for work more often than not.  But she is still putting up with the bunch of teenagers she works with.  They are going to have a christmas party and debra gets to bring her new Sirius sattilite radio.  She got it sunday so we can listen to the Jacksonville Jaguar football games on sundays.We are trying to sell her florida property.  it is valued at 75k and we have a good offer for 45k pluse he pays a whole bunch of costs since he's getting such a good deal.  There are a lot of title issues espically regarding Debra's ex father.  He may be entitled to part of the profits if he is still alive we have to check into all of that.  We are trying to get his social security number so we can run it through the SS data base to see if he's dead.  The business end of this is keeping me busy and I feel like I have a real job again.  It is good for any mania too because I can't do too much to help the process along.now i just have to get tired and go to bead.
