September 12, 2007 Day 146
Last night's bipolar support group meeting was warm, supportive, and thoughtful, with a good laugh thrown in here and there. My sister Laura came with me, and she was very impressed with the quality of the discussion, especially considering it is a peer-run group without any outside "expert" to guide us.
In this morning's drawing, I started with blue, but soon I was adding so many colors that I had to tone it down with some fine black lines. I also filled in some areas with gray to take away some of the bright colors, and to add emphasis.

I started to see double at one point, and realized I need to take care of my cataracts before the end of the year. I'm really looking forward to being able to see clearly again.
It was fun looking at houses yesterday afternoon. We saw a wonderful old renovated barn with the original beams intact. Laura discovered she could get a lot more house in Ithaca than in south Florida for the same money, although we don't have the large inventory there is in Florida. The housing market hasn't gone berserk here as it has in many parts of the country.
(Note: There is a gap between the dates I'm writing and posting in order to give me time to get ahead in case we travel and I'm not able to post.)
