Muffins!

I've made cinnamon muffins today, and they worked. I love making muffins, it's so easy, and the results are almost always satisfying. It's hard to make a mess of them, and Betty Crocker ones cost more. Don't get me wrong, they're good, but you can make your own much cheaper, if you can get hold of blueberries. They cost so much, but I've got a friend who grows them, so I'm lucky.

I'm feeling really well today. I'm a bit sick of being treated like I don't have feelings, like I'm a blind schizophrenic lump, but other than that, I'm okay. The jumper I'm making is going well, as are the evening bags. Life is generally good, for a change, and I intend to make the most of it, while it lasts.

Slow news day...

I' doing well coming off lithium. I haven't had any problems, and feel physically much better. My social worker was pleasantly surprised about this.
As the title says, its a slow news day, not much has happened, I just thought I'd say hello.

Dog walk

I did my dog walk assessment today. I walked 2 dogs, Star and India. They were both great, but I found India easier to walk with, as Star was a bit "bouncy", and excitable. India was a black lab retriever cross, and Star was a golden retriever. I did well on the walks, and there's now only one more step before I might get on the list for a dog. I'm tired, but really happy.

Yay!

I'm coming off lithium. This is so great! It's been making me feel crap for 7 years now, and I'm going to finally be rid of it in the next 6 weeks. I have to cut down the dose from 12 ml to 0 ml by 2 ml per week. My brother's getting me a syringe to do this as we speak. My psychiatrist is pleased with how I'm getting on. I think the way I've been feeling this last 10 days or so was a blip, as I haven't relapsed. My nan's 90th birthday party was a turning point. I had to psych myself up to going, it was hard,but I'm glad I did, she had a great time, and I seemed to turn a corner in myself, and now I'm feeling a lot better.
