Hi waves, and bizi
 

I think of both of you each and every day. Hope this day went good for both of you. Bizi...I hope your dad is recoving well tonight. ginnie

hi
 

Thanks Bizi.
I was thinking of you too today. almost posted but didn't have it in me. have emails to write, didn't have that in me either. :( it has been a do-nothing day for me pretty much. i've felt very down. :( i hope you are feeling ok with all that is going on. :hug:

Dear Mari,
i am indeed trying to take care of myself. i hope you are too. as irony would have it, i had a conversation with my dad today. he started giving me interpretations of Christian thought about putting others first always etc etc... i tried to give him mine. and then i bailed out of the conversation because i felt overwhelmed and like a guilt trip coming on. i believe in the oxygen mask principle. if you can't breathe, you can't help anyone. so you have to take care of yourself first. Christ may have sacrificed much all through his life, but he surely ate, if perhaps ascetically, and drank, and did what he needed to do. and he spent time alone and prayed. otherwise, he could not have helped others. today i was already very depressed. the whole thing started with me telling dad how i felt asocial and not up for conversation and how mom often didn't get that. and then he launched into this philosophical thing... talk about Conversation. sigh. :(

-----------
i got to a point in the calendar where i feel stuck. yesterday i reworked a couple of the photos i wasn't happy with. but i am still missing 3, and i don't think i can get 3 more decent ones out of those i took this year. that means take more pix when mom is out... this morning i just vegged... i didn't even cook or clean other than heat up corn for lunch and clean up after myself. then later i was so tired, i fell asleep (right after having coffee :rolleyes:) i didn't even watch poirot. i started too... but it was like, i could hear the words and see the images, but they seemed senseless... it was like my brain was turned off.

:o :grouphug: :o

Sending good vibes. And hoping your calendar continues to cone good.

Love that you did so good.

I need to figure out how to do a calendar for the computer better.

I can't get back in microsoft outlook, now that my computer is back.

Ugh, why is it when they work on this they lose things.

Donna:grouphug:

ugh! conversations about religion....
guilt...ugh!
glad that your calender is going along, yes just take some more photos. Good that it is almost done!
Glad that you had a nap...you needed it, your body was tired!
Thank you for posting....have missed you.

love bizi

Waves,
The oxygen mask principle is 100% correct. The opposite thing to do is to not take care of yourself and then need someone to pick up the pieces because you were not taking good care. .. . . so I see taking care of yourself as a gift you give to your loved ones.

I really think that Christianity (as most religions do) makes allowances for people who are ill.

As far as I am concerned, asking a bipolar person to do those things is like asking a person with a broken leg to get up and dance.
Not everyone agrees with my broken leg metaphor but it works for me.
Please know that we are on board with you.
. . . I understand turning the tv on and then not being interested in understanding it. I'm doing that that more recently than I used to.
