Church Brightens My Day
Smart light did a good job in waking me up for Church this morning. All wrapped up with my Star Trek beanie as it’s -3c outside! Some pictures I took on the way of the church. The town and seafront. Very peaceful and quiet. Well the service has lifted me. I think it does help…

Star Trek TNG ‘The Measure of a Man’
This afternoon I have been continuing my rewatch of Star Trek The Next Generation. I’m watching “The Measure of a Man”. In this episode Bruce Maddox wants to take Data away for disassembly and experimentation. Fortunately, Picard, argues for Data’s rights as an individual.

Suicidal Urges
I don’t know if other people get suicidal thoughts much.Though sometimes I get the thought to end it. Like this evening I have the thought of just picking up my rope, making a hangman noose and ending it.I won’t tonight. Having it all there just gives me peace. As I can move on. I am…

Lithium Reduced
As permitted by the psychiatrist I lowered my Lithium dose from 1000mg to 800mg on Monday night. I think I am seeing a benefit. I feel less worn out in the morning. I seem to have got into Aldi earlier than usual this week. My motivation is low which I think is partly due to…

Supermarkets As A Blessing
I visited Aldi earlier to do a big shop (2 bags) for dry goods. I will return tomorrow to buy some fresh food. It was reasonably quiet this morning which made it less stressful. Sometimes I try to stop and think to appreciate the supermarket. Years ago supermarkets didn’t exist and one had to go…

New Sensory Item
My new snuggle pup has arrived today. I’m going to call him snoopy. He is really nice to cuddle. Lovely and soft. Feels nice to press on my lips as well. Very comforting. Far better than I imagined. A special thank you to a Twitter friend for buying me him.

Book of Romans
A few months back I was going to evening lectures at my Church weekly on the book of Romans in the Bible. After the 4th week I stopped because it was burning me out. I didn’t like being out late in the evenings repeatedly then I was taking my medication late which was unsettling. The…

Domestically Managing
On a Wednesday, Alexa reminds me to change to clean bedding. Then I wash and dry the used one. I think this has been the best I have taken care of myself at home. I used to forget or not care. I clean my kitchen and bathroom every 2, sometimes 3 weeks. Before I lived…
