Coming back from the other side of my Bipolar Wonderland through medication, creativity, and moxie.
How do you know when it’s time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen?
I’ll be completely honest: I don’t know when to unplug. I burn out often, or get over stimulated and melt down.
When I do, it’s a lot of Enya playing quietly, my sleep mask on, and snuggles with Mac and my cat, Spock. Sometimes it’s video calls with J or Reffie, or texting with Chelé.
What quality do you value most in a friend?
The quality I value most in a friend is patience.

16 Rows Done on Sleeve #1 For Grandma’s Crocheted Cardigan
I’m exhausted so this will be short. I came home, made dinner, watched some trash television in the form of a home renovation show, and worked on Grandma Gator’s crocheted cardigan.
That’s the news.
Take your meds, folks.
Do you practice religion?
I am a person of faith. Yea, I practice a sort of religion.
Do you remember life before the internet?
I’ll be thirty nine in thirty two days.
Yes.
Yes, I remember life before the internet.
I remember being thirsty for knowledge as a youngling. My addiction to book was well-founded in the dusty stacks of the library, where there was one, maybe two computers. Or word processors. I remember days before cell phones, too.
I’m not “old”, in my mind. I’m older. There is a marked difference.
What are you good at?
I am so certain that I have answered this previously.
I’m good at many things, but mostly crochet, making people laugh, and making snickerdoodles.
What does “having it all” mean to you? Is it attainable?
It boils down, honestly, to financial stability. All else is icing on the cake.

Continue reading “Of Thunderstorms and Thoughts”What personal belongings do you hold most dear?
As a child, it was a copy of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass and What She Found There.
It was from the 1920s.
Do you have any collections?
I have several collections. Primarily, I collect playing cards and tarot cards. I used to collect snow globes, but they broke in moves or got lost in transit.
What is the legacy you want to leave behind?
Well, I believe I have already answered this , but what’s the harm in putting thought into it again?
I want to leave behind a legacy of compassion, kindness, generosity, and creativity.
Man, it’s been a minute since I posted one of these. The new med I’m still adjusting to is supposed to have a soporific effect. But I’m just staring at the ceiling while Mac snores the night away. Even Spock is asleep!
Oh well.
Maybe I’ll tried to read more on A Court of Thorns and Roses while I’m awake? Or just meditate. I dunno.
Take your meds, folks.
How do you feel about cold weather?
Well, if Im honest, the cold weather is part of the reason I moved away from Florida. Well, that and the political landscape changing for the scary.
But I love cold weather. I love snow, except driving in it. And both autumn and winter are favored seasons. I’m not crazy about spring, aka pollen o’clock, nor summer.
Also, aim heat and sun sensitive since I’m on antidepressants. Which is a not so fun side effect I found out the hard way.
