Hi,

We are getting rain for a few days . . . maybe this is putting a damper on the fireworks. People in neighborhoods started the noisy fun on Thursday.

Dear Beth,
It's ok.
You are a good friend to give her information and talk to her.

Dear Bizi

if her pdoc is overmedicating her i don't think it's bad to call a spade a spade. she deserves to be given some heads up on these things, especially if she is new to treatment.

if you feel you came on a little strong, you can always apologize for that, but i wouldn't apologize for your point of view... it is based on experience not alcohol. you might in fact remind her gently that you do have a genuine concern, even if you were too confrontational before. don't throw out the baby with the bathwater.

I received a note from her this morning.
she is not upset at all.
she thanked me for my input.
so I am relieved.
alcohol and me....it reduced my inhibitions so I was able to have a really good time at this gathering I went to last night.
there were 3 people there that I knew....about 20 people total.
I had been out earlier with my girl friend, she lost her job and needed cheering up so I took her out and we had tequiala shots and ate dinner, so I was primed for the party.
She told me today that I helped her.
She is the one I went on the cruise with.
She is a lovely woman and a free lance writer, a good one at that. Something good will come from this.

Happy Independence Day everyone!

Oh waves I am sorry that you are unable to enjoy the art work, Maybe make a few really nice pieces into a coffee table book. My dd has donated work to the cyber school. library and other places. Several pieces are rotated between two establishments every other month.

She loves getting the feed back, and even selling a few.

I hope everyone had the best day they could. Hot here and all week, every thing so dry. In the 90* s and that is not usual at all. But loving the pool.
Grandson and dd are having a great time in it too.
Hugs to all
Di

I managed to get a bit of heat exhaustion....and figured out that I am manic.
so I will be curtailing my computer work, coffee intake and decreasing stimulus in general. cutting back on alcohol intake in public....
increased my meds and have hubby on board....he still doesn't get it after all of this time....
sigh

i am so sorry to hear that...it sounded like you were having so much fun...
take good care of yourself

when I drink too much(coffee or alcohol), eat too much, do too much and start getting uninhibited....I am off center. I felt like I was not on meds yesterday.....the heat did not help things. My motor has been running high ever since I started dieting and exercising.
That was march 11th.
extra meds last night and today....I am already feeling more grounded.
I just need to be really careful.
We drive to indiana next week...I am not ready for that.
I don't do well out of my routine....
will need to find a gym that will let me join for a week.
off I go to the gym.

First you usually can locate a gym that has guest passes.
Also if you are staying with family they might have a gym they go to.

Now if you are going to stay at a hotel, look for one that has
a good fitness room. Many of the ones in Indy do.
