1- as you have probably noticed this blog has been quiet the past few weeks. I will be honest I sunk into a deep depression that took mega dosages of meds to pull me out. I know that this was a risk with bipolar, but damn I haven’t experienced that level of depression in YEARS. To make it worse, I am not even sure what brought it on. I guess the main thing is to be happy that it seems to be over and I am feeling every day back to my old self.
2- I got a new Kitten! Meet Marbles Icicles Orlando
I don’t have a story of how I came up with that name I met him and that was the name that popped into my head. Thank God my creativity is still intact.
He is supposed to be a therapy kitty, but he missed that memo. He is a wild little kitten. I don’t think I have got a good nights sleep since I got him. But I love his fuzzy butt. I know he will grow out of the kitten stage and be a more calm cat. At least that is my hope. He is still tiny. As of today, he is 13 weeks old. So there is still a lot of time before he is a grown cat. He does bring me a lot of joy though. In the rough days, he was the only reason I got out of bed. So maybe he is kinda living up to being a therapy kitty.
3- During my down time I have listed to a LOT of podcasts. I can understand most of them now. HAHAHAHA TO the Drs who said I wouldn’t be able to. I am an overachiever, and of course, I had to knock myself out listening to podcasts and youtube and audiobooks I can understand around 90 percent. I will write a post of what podcasts I love. I listen to a LOT of bookish podcasts. The only problem I have is that I am always doing something while listening, like laundry or something and I can never remember the book I wanted to read to put on Goodreads. I have started to read show notes but that is kinda a pain in the ass but I am not sure how else to remember the book. Any Suggestions?
4- I am turning into a planner freak. I discovered they even have planner blogs and now I WANT ALL THE PLANNERS!! I have the Desire Map Planner. I love Dannielle Laporte so hard, and I want to support her. In fact, I think I have just about everything in her shop. Her candles are the BEST! But I see people with the Passion Planner. The Erin Condron Life Planner and I WANT THEM ALLLLLL… Can one have toooo many planners? Heh.
5- I have restarted my fitness journey. I am doing Weight Watchers along with counseling for my binge eating disorder so I am hoping by December there will be a HUGE improvement. I go to therapy once a week. I went last week, and I am confident that this time I will gain the tools to lose weight and keep it off. I have also started going to the Gym again. That helped my depression and anxiety the last year, so I am hoping the endorphins still work.
