Photo Day 23 Glowing cotton candy

I know almost all of my pictures involve us going on vacation but the more you travel you gain knowledge and experience. We went to Rock City Enchanted Lights in Chattanooga, Tennessee and my daughter wanted one of those glow sticks and I told her I’m not paying $5 for a stick, but then they changed the game and put Cotton Candy on it. Once you put something like Cotton Candy on it then it doesn’t count as a souvenir. This is probably again the closest you will get to actually seeing her. She had so much fun and the stick takes batteries so it isn’t just a one time use. So it’s a win win for everyone!!

I love this picture. I took it when we were at Tybee Island in June. It was the first vacation we took this year and saying it was much needed is an understatement. My husband ended up in Savannah for training with the city and we stayed in a haunted Inn in downtown Savannah which was pretty cool. We’ve actually had an amazing year this year as I dig through pictures of all the places we’ve been and the things we’ve done.

Photo Day 16 A genuine smile

I love this picture mostly because it is genuine and it is the only genuine smile I ever had in years. This picture coincidentally happened in 2015 when everything in my life went to shit. (see previous posts) This was right after the overdose before my baptism, exorcism and medical induced manic, schizophrenic, paranoid episodes. This was before I hit a new level of rock bottom. I was happy right there. I thought I was making everything better but rock bottom came after.

Photo Day 15 Something warm and my dislike of winter.

I am not a fan of winter… I mean nothing to do with winter I don’t like being cold and I can’t stand snow and ice. I am from the south so even a threat of snow everything shuts down so winter is not fun. I do like some of things that winter brings like hot chocolate, the holidays, everything with peppermint. I like audio books because I am always going somewhere I don’t have time to sit and read (I also comprehend better this way.) So hot chocolate, fuzzy socks, oversized sweatshirt and sweatpants and a good audio book is a perfect way to spend a day off while I browse the internet and procrastinate updating these damn challenges on my blog.

🖤Day 31 🖤 Weird Quirk of Mine

Bipolar HappensLeave a comment

First let me say I DID IT!!!! All 31 days it was challenging at times but I did learn something’s about myself in the process.

Ok…. weird quirks of mine. My illness does that count??

~ I bite my lip when I get anxious

– I hear voices and sounds all the time

– I hallucinate almost every night

– I can swallow multiple pills at once

– When my anxiety gets really bad and I start to hear the man I pace back and forth talking to myself

– I can’t take Ativan which is odd

– I am terrified of heights

– If you start to tickle me it turns into an anxiety attack

– I can’t hide in places because of anxiety

– I have crippling anxiety

– I don’t like to use the word hate it is a waste of an emotion

– I can’t stop swearing it is part of my everyday activity

That’s it unless you want me to go through everything with my illness

It’s been real 31 day challenge
