Time to get cought back up!

So it has been a while since I last posted, and now that I have managed to find some time to carve out to update you all in what is becoming a very nicely busy social schedule I thought that I would do so. So things have been going very nicely for me, especially given the events that brought about my last post. One of the best things that has happened is that I started to see some one in the time in between post and that we are official Boyfriends!! Something that makes my very happy, and that I just can't resist thinking about.

We made it official on the 1st after going out on a couple of dates before then, and have been on several afterwords, all of which have been great and have allowed us to learn even more about each other. My BF is one of the sweetest people that I know and is so much fun to be around as well as making me feel safe, secure, as well as just utterly complete in a way that I just did not know was possible. I absolutely love spending time with him no matter what it is. It is also funny to see so many people around me almost as excited and happy about this relationship as I am, including my mother, who got to briefly meet him when we stopped by my house to pick up my camera so he could give me some photography lessons. :-)

I am also excited because on Sunday he wants to join me in my regular routine which is to go to my walking group and meet my friends from that's, as well as afterwords most likely getting to hangout some with my very best friend. I am most excited and nervous about us spending time with my best friend as we have been friends since we where like 5 and I really hope that she likes him and that she will not embarrass me. Yet ether way just spending the time with my baby and getting to enjoy each other's company is always something special and something that I treasure, and I just can't wait to get to do it some more.

Even the simplest things like last night when we went for a walk (after he took me out to dinner) and looked at the different cute houses in the part of town that he lives in, fallowed by strolling downtown to grab some Ice Cream was something so intensely pleasurable and blissful that one dose not want it to end. It is like if you could capture time in a bottle I would want to bottle all of that time up to be kept forever.

Well that is enough rambling on for now, I hope that you all have enjoyed my post. I thank you for reading and fallowing along with me and as always your comments and such are always appreciated and read.

The Temptation Of The High

While being balanced mode wise is something that is good and something that I am glad to be, although I do wish that my medications made me feel less drained like I have been dragging a heavy weight around with me while I do things, in part because my mind seems to be sort of slow and just not totally with it at times leaving it to take a lot of energy to concentrate and get things done and that mental energy also has a physical manifestation as well, and is what tends to make me feel the most drained. while it is good to be balanced it is hard to not want to have a taste of the forbidden fruit that I have been brought down from having a minor taste of and that is to be on the more manic side of things. It is times like this when I know that the meds are keeping me from an amazing natural high, that it is so tempting just to stop taking my medications.

Mental Health Awareness

As some of you may or may not know May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and as such I thought I would write a blog post to try and help do my part to help raise awareness, and end the stigma of mental illness. I also hope to show provide some hope in the process. As many of you already know I have a mental illness, and that is Bipolar Disorder, which I was diagnosed with only relatively recently, about a year ago, although I have had it for a nice chunk of my life. It is something that while I am still just in the beginning stages of starting to understand and control, I don't feel that it is something that I should have to be ashamed of or have to worry about others finding out about it. unfortunately though there is quite a large amount of stigma that surrounds mental illness especially "serious mental illness", which they are for those that suffer from them (and those close to them as well) unfortunately though it also makes it sound scarier t...

The Attacks Start At the Last Minute

With only a week left until ballots mail out in Washington state, Protect Marriage Washington has started airing their first ad in what is doubtless to be a series of ads to run threw the election on Nov 6. as the Seattle times says about this time in the election cycle "for a ballot measure that isn't up on the air now is missing a big opportunity. Ballots mail out next week" and it appears that even though they are late to the race compared to the Approve campaign that has had ads running for months between Washington United for marriage and an ad run by Seattle Pride during the summer Olympics they seem to be coming out of the gate swinging using some of the same old tactics that have proven so effective in the past in scaring the public into voting their way. although this time they seem to have thrown in another tool to their approach ...
