Good News

Again, nothing to do with the post.  I need to break out my camera more often.

  My car is fixed!  I cannot bring it home until I pay for it.  Bummer.  Good thing the tax return is coming sooner than later and we get paid on the 18th.  Maybe I'll have my car by Thursday--thanks to a credit card, evil and vile thing that it is.  The bill was way less than quoted and I am stunned.  Thank you MCO for doing a good job and saving me money at the same time.  I really appreciate it and am very grateful to have my beloved sports car mini van back (soon).
  I received some comment questions about yesterday's post.  I will answer them here so that all can be edified.  The fog I wake up in is a result of my mental problems, I think.  I don't take any sleeping pills or anything else like that because I already take citalopram for my bipolar problems.  I hadn't taken it for two days last week because I ran out and didn't have a car to go get a refill.  Now that I think about it the fog was probably because the lack of meds was catching up with me.  Citalopram is not addictive so I don't need to worry about withdrawals, but it does take a while to leave my system.  The effects take time to show when I do not take the pills.  My medicine does not completely take away the symptoms, nor are they a cure for my problems.  My whole family has a long history of mental illness and the effects are lessening every generation.  I hope my children don't have to deal with it at all.  So, now that I have thought about my fog, I will be even more careful about taking my pills so I can be a little more functional.
