We got our new puppy a few months ago. We named her Sophie.

My bestie is in Thailand with a friend on a 2 week vacation. She’s having an amazing time. She texted me saying to get my passport cause she’s taking me on a trip. I’m hoping for Belize, but I have no idea what she’s thinking. She said she doesn’t know where yet…

Possible vacation to Florida in March next year. My bestie when I lived in Las Vegas now lives in Florida and I really want to go see her. And…Don and I have never been to Florida. We will go out on her boat and do some fishing. Hubby will love that! I talked to her about it. She said we can stay at her house.

It’s been a really long time since I have written. Right now I’ve been making my Christmas cards. I need 40. I have about 16 done so far. I’m going to work on them this weekend.
It’s football season again. Been watching just on sundays.
I have decreased my meds a little bit and I’m doing well. I have my bipolar days, but they aren’t too bad.

It’s almost the end of October. I’ve been doing a lot of Christmas shopping. We are getting a new tree this year and I’m going to decorate it with blue lights and beach ornaments. I’m excited. Christmas is my favorite holiday.
‘I started a new med for my fibromyalgia . It seems to be helping a tad bit. I still hurt all over most of the time.

Halloween is coming up and I still need to send my grandkids their buckets full of candy. I will do it soon. We aren’t going out on Halloween as hubby has to work.

I can’t wait to show you my new tarot cards. I got them in Utah when my friend and I drove down there.
‘Thanks for being here with me.
‘goodnight.

I’m sorry I’ve been MIA lately. I’ve been adjusting to new, much lower, med dosages. I cut my meds in half and deleted 2. I feel amazing. My memory has improved almost 100%. I rarely lose my thought anymore. There for awhile, I couldn’t think a thought all the way through. I would forget mid thought. I thought I was getting dementia. My meds are psychotropics….mood stabilizers. Since I am diagnosed with bipolar 1, I’ve been heavily medicated for 2o years. I’m finally freeing myself. I can’t believe the fog I’ve lived in for so long. My mind is now sharp once again. I haven’t felt like this in over 2o years. I’m not depressed and I’m not manic. I’m just me. The real me. I wish mom was still alive to see this happen…..she always told me that she missed the old me. I went to a birthday party this past weekend, and I started conversations with lots of people. That’s not something I normally do. I’ve been to shy and reserved. Now, my old friendly self has emerged. I’m excited. Im hoping to get down to 1 med.

What a boring game last Sunday……my Chiefs lost, which is okay, but I was amped up for an exciting game and exciting, it was not….

I’m so excited for the big game this year! We are having a couple we know, over for it. I’m going to serve a nacho bar. It’s going to be a great time. Controversy over halftime show? Hmmmm

I painted this with instruction…..the first pic….

I painted the second one by myself and made it into a birthday card to my aunt.

The first painting I did with some instruction. This second one, I made Into a birthday card for my auntie…..I’m learning the rules of painting, lol. I learned that “Light is on the right”……for shading purposes. I’ll post some of my art again. Goodnight my lovelies!

Both teams I rooted for today, won. I love the Chiefs. So, it will be Philly and Kansas City at the Super Bowl. If Kansas City wins, it will be a record of 3 Super Bowl wins in a row! We have a standing invite to a friends place, but I want to stay home this year and cook appetizers for food. I invited a friend but she already had plans…..I get I to the games….i whoop and holler…it’s fun!

Today I hand made 10 cards. 9 valentine cards and one for my swap group. Now I’m finished with my February swap cards. I went Valentine shopping for the grandkids today. They are teenagers, but who doesn’t like yummy treats from their Nawna and Poppy?
