I have 3 kids and am single. Jessica is smart and beautiful and 17. Kyle is faithful and 12. And the youngest, my baby who is full of energy, Sydney.  Currently I’m nearly five-foot four inches tall and too big around. This from a ten year long unhappy marriage, having three babies, meds for my illness and then I broke my ankle real good. The ankle was three years ago and I’m still struggling. Mostly I sit around. One of my meds causes weight gain too so I’m feeling sort of trapped. Working out is impossible for anything including my right knee. I broke my LEFT ankle and had a plug taken out of that knee. That’s all fine. It’s the support leg that’s all beet up.

Kyle’s favorite thing to do is to play video games; some of Jessica’s favorite things to do include reading, writing, biking and walking; Sydney dances to her own tune. She likes to visit game websites and other character driven sites.

They all like to go for hikes at the national parks. If my knees were better, and it will be, we’ll be doing more hiking. I’ll at least make sure they get to get some time outside in nature.

My son has such a way of taking care of me. He’s going to bankroll my letters to agents to try to get an agent to sell the sucker.  We’ll make our first mailing this week to about ten agents. I hope it goes well. I want him to have a positive experience in business. Why is he helping? I’m all out of money. Totally. So I’ll do all the work and he’ll be the silent partner. I’m very thankful to him and am proud of him.

My idea of a first post isn’t what I’m going to say. However, I want to be brief because I’ve taken a pain pill and need to be asleep. And, because this is where I am myself am at today.

Firstly, I have sever Bipolar Disorder Type I. My meds are being adjusted now so things are moody. My right knee is now in so much pain that I’m back on my pain meds that I had leftover from my ankle surgery. And, I’ve been wheezing for three weeks and now have to go to the hospital for chest an and sinus x-rays.

And Sydney sees the arm specialist doctor because she’s still having trouble with that on Monday.

So you see how things are.

Sleep always helps put me in my happy place.
