Filling Your Own Bucket
Adding positive life changes has been rewarding on so many levels. Unfortunately I missed taking one of my pills and then a few days later forgot to take one until half way through the day.

It can only go up from here. School blues.
Our boys' school year began with no masks and a hint of normalcy to go with it. My hubby returned to his office at work where he teaches as a chemistry prof and of course what happens during this period of transition? I hit a wall with my bipolar. Definitely not normalcy.
