April 4, 2025 ~ Friday TGIF!

TGIF! It’s been a long week!

Yesterday was all in all a good day. I went to the hospital first thing in the morning and I did NOT end up in a straight jacket! Whew! I did sign up for an intensive outpatient treatment program I’m really looking forward to. Access to a psychiatrist about life and my meds 3 mornings a week, as well as group therapy and individual therapy. All paid for by Medicaid. And so needed!

After the visit, I went to an AA meeting. I get something out of every meeting, but this one wasn’t as welcoming as others. It was ok. We talked about step 6.

I came home and slept for a couple of hours. Then applied for unemployment income. Doing so contradicts my SSDI application… but I’m in survival mode. I should receive one or the other. I also updated my resume on a job site and applied for a few jobs.

I had great conversation with Meg last night, over a couple revelations. I’ll keep them to myself. It’s dangerous to share some things here. 🧐

Huh. I forgot to talk to Meg about one interesting thing I did a couple days ago. I poked a bear. RC. I shared a message between him and the Mrs on LinkedIn introducing them. I’m wondering if she would agree with his assessment of my situation on July 30th. He was of the opinion I should have tolerated ANYTHING, to keep food on my table. I think… he would be a good one to subpoena someday. Unbelievable.

Now… the ongoing question since changing meds a couple years ago. What to do with an entire day ahead?! It is still interesting, I feel, to think that a medication gave me my entire life back. An ability to focus like never before. To solve problems. Complete tasks.

Today… let me see if I can draw out some creativity and… maybe… create advertisements!

Meds/vitamins. Coffee. Dogs. Facebook (soon). Blog.

I’m grateful for my family and my friends. Riley. This life.

Have an amazing day!
