Sunday,Sunday.

I keep intending to get back here more. I Was bored on this cooler Sunday morning and was looking at my laptop shortcuts menu.After deleting several  unused icons  I saw the blogger shortcut and here I am.

Life for me today, as a mental health consumer, is going quite well.  I see my therapist of seven years, two to four times a month depending how things are going. I am still off of all psych medications and so far very good..  I am working on a very part time basis as a sub for the school district. I mostly work with special need kids which is usually very educational and enjoyable. I have a newer car I am trying to make car payments on. This recession we are in has stopped SS increases but it does not stop everything else from increases in price.

I find myself isolating more and more away from my family, although my sons seem more accepting of me then they have for may years. I've come to accept, I hope, that I have alienated my sons and their families through my actions and their interpretations of my actions. There are times when I feel so left out of  their family events. I am very seldom asked to attend activities of my grandchildren. But,that is OK with me if they want me involved they know where I am at and my phone number. I guess that is self preservation kicking in, I do keep in touch with several close friends and they seem to accept me warts and all.

Well, maybe I'll check in later...
