Hey Michele,
Going to try this again. I left a post the other day but for some reason it said it left it but the post never showed up. Oh well just as easy to retype it.
This post is si true. My recent battle with cancer and now one of my best internet buddies fight against lymphoma have really showed me that you need to live each day to the fullest because tomorrow may never come. That is just a fact of life.
I am doing pretty good. Trying to get my new business selling Avon both locally and through an online store up and going. Just got my first order in and delivered to my customers. I was pretty proud of my first order. It was bigger than I thought it would be. At least it gives me something to do and I get to meet alot of new people. I am also taking a medical transcriptioist course from home. Finding time to do my studies is a challenge. It wouldn’t be but my husband and our roommate seem to bombard me with questions whenever I pull out the course and start working on it.
Hubby is doing some better. We had to do an emergency visit last week to our psych doc because he was back to not wanting to be here anymore. He changed his meds and hubby is actually taking then daily. Hopefully, he will start feeling better soon.
Hope all is well with you and your hubby.
your friend
Melissa

Hey Michele,
I really do love your posts. They are so fitting and really help me to deal with my bipolar.
I have had several things come up the past six months to make me remember to live each moment to the fullest. I got a letter yeasterday from a great friend of mine who has bipolar disorder also. Anyway he was just diagnosed with cancer. If my own cancer didn’t make realize that we needed to live each moment to the fullest his did. Life has a way of reminding nus regularly of what is most important in this world.
Things with me are going good. I just started my own business selling Avon. I have been at it for about three weeks now. It has added some stress to my life but I am learning new ways to handle it every day. Some days are harder than others. Especially those days when my medical problems all seem to give grief on the same day and I have Avon business I must deal with at the same time. Those days are hard and extremely stressful. I am also trying to take this course on medical transcriptionist. It is another job I can do from home. I am finding it very challenging to find time for school work. I am so exhausted at the end of day. Its a challenge I hope to work out soon.
I am still having trouble with hubby and getting him to stay on his medication. Had to rush him to the doctor last week because he started the I don’t want to be here anymore thing. Doc changed his med from prozac to trazadone. He has been having trouble sleeping and with this med he can get the benefit of the antidepressant and sleepnaide rolled into one. Took me a few days to get him to take the med. He has been taking it the last few days now with no complaint. He has decided that it does help him to sleep better.
Well I better let you go. Hope you continue to be stable and happy
Your Friend,
Melissa
