Hello Journal,
It's Wednesday, and last night i was up all night, due to side effects of the patch. The patch however, has become more regulated, and the other meds have been regulated more effectively as well. I look forward to being able to develop some sort of schedule now that I am back to myself again. I had a hard time of things, getting used to the patch, after being off of it for a couple of months. But I was determined, since the doctor insisted that I had to be back on it, I was going to find a way.
Mom was very depressed, but now she is on Cymbalta and is starting to feel and do better. I am trying to dedicate more time to being with my father and mother in the evenings. But it is difficult when they chose shows that are just plain boring! Sometimes I take my reading and materials with me and make a study period out of it and just make my presence known.
Bipolar Bob's kitty was put to sleep yesterday,, she was 18 and had liver disease. I commiserated with him. I have been in his position, and I shared with him and we talked a while. Bob has been busy working at Wal-Mart ever since he was turned down twice for SSDI. That whole rigamarole had to have been hard on him. I know if I were in his shoes I would have had a hard time. He has been a real trooper.
I am going out on Friday, as usual. But next Friday I am staying home, to get things ready for Ma and Papi's anniversary Party on Saturday the 29th. I hope Mom and Papi enjoy it. They don't seem too enthusiastic about it, but when I brought it up they were tired. Hey, you only get one 50th anniversary.
SO back to hatching evil plans, working on my scheduling and goals, and back to organizing this place. I think I can get a handle on it now. I feel like I am back in control again.
