Sorry to interrupt Relationships Week on Beyond Blue<\/a>, but I needed to publish this bulletin: I’M GOING CRAZY.<\/strong><\/p>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

Ahem. <\/p>\n

Okay, here’s the deal. Annapolis was hit with 30 inches of snow last Friday and Saturday. Annapolis owns three snowplows. Most roads have at least six inches of ice. Ours do. And if you’ve ever witnessed the way I drive, you would agree that I shouldn’t be on the road. <\/p>\n

Moreover, our cars won’t be moving from our icy driveway anytime soon because …. we’re supposed to get another 10 to 20 inches tonight. Schools have been cancelled all week, of course, and schools are cancelled next week (Monday thru Wednesday) for some other lame reason.<\/p>\n

So, I’m grumpy. Bite-everyone’s-heads-off grumpy. Because I can’t use most of the tools in my sanity box this week. The discipline to eat well is buried under three feet of snow as we haven’t been able to get to the store. Swimming or running isn’t an option. Blah blah blah. Whine whine whine. <\/p>\n

Living with depression or bipolar is about creative problem solving. All the time. So, after doing a kind of jigsaw puzzle, this IS what I’m doing to stay sane:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
