Yes! (she says, punching the air)

I'm getting a guide dog! I've been put on the waiting list, which is about 6-9 months. The time will fly by, I'm so excited.

Also, I've been off lithium for over a week, with no adverse effects. The blisters in my mouth are gone, and I feel less physically "slow" in my movements, more coordinated.

I star the cookery next week, all I need now is the literature course to come through, and I'll be set. Life finally seems to be working out for me. It's only taken 27 years!
