Just in time for midterms. (I’m going to hell for that, aren’t I. )

I will not drink with you today!

My best cat ever Scruffy supposedly has SIBO… in his 5th week of treatment and I don’t see improvement. All of the symptoms are still in full force. Ultrasound on Tuesday. It’s the smelliest pudding dumps ever and for some reason he won’t cover. <sobs>

I’m in TN! Hoping she wins. Marsha sucks balls. Refuses to debate her. “I speak to Tennesseans everyday”. Yeah sure. The MAGA ones.

Well. Since his parents have theirs paid off, it’s a mere $1,000 a year maintenance. But no. Ours was primo Washington DC/NYC (we lived in Philly at the time) and he had champagne tastes on a soda budget. I did not trust my gut as I should have.

I was married, in my 40’s and listened to my now ex hubby #2 because his family had several. The payment was $600 a month… a second mortgage for a one week vacation? The timeshare, nor our marriage, lasted long after that.

For someone with bipolar, the dial can swing much further, and it stays there for a while — days or weeks, not just minutes:

• Really, really up (called mania or hypomania): They feel super energetic, need very little sleep, talk fast, have tons of ideas, and feel like they can do anything.

• Really, really down (called depression): They feel very sad, tired, and don’t want to do much of anything, even things they usually like.

It’s not something someone chooses or can just “snap out of” — it’s how their brain works. But doctors can help, kind of like how glasses help someone see better. With the right support (like medicine or talking to a counselor), people with bipolar can feel more balanced and live happy, full lives.
