Reusable Grocery Bag. I bought five of these bags, which was part of a deal to provide food for those in need, but they are so well balanced and designed that I only use one, usually. I really like them. They are much easier to manage than plastic carriers, which swing and dangle when you carry them. It's the nicest reusable bag I have come across, but not the first. I had larger, more unwieldy ones in London 25 years ago and Sainsbury's offered two pennies off the bill for each bag. My store here is finally catching on. It also has started selling ready made couscous and tabouleh salads, and pasta salads and so on. Finally I can comfortably be a vegetarian in my town, like in Los Angeles. It has taken 20 years, but they are improving. The only thing missing - and it's just because it's popular and sold out - was my favorite Ben and Jerry's Coffee Toffee Bar Crunch ice cream, which I really look forward to. I can check back later in the week for that.
It has been a kind of off week for me mood wise and I am wondering if it's because I finished the Haldol last weekend. I don't know. I have been at kind of a loose end since I finished my Photoshop lessons - I didn't plan another project to follow it. I do have quite a lot of reading to do, which, for some reason, I am having trouble settling down to do. I am still just excited about the camera and the fun to do with that, I think. I spent three days last week looking into stables because I wanted to try horses for a subject, but the stables I know and love had closed down due to tornado damage four years ago and all the other stables around are kind of fancy and less approachable by comparison. My messages weren't returned. All is not lost though, I am thinking of visiting my mother, in late October, and there are farms there that are friendly and known to my family, so I am going to try that. I don't have any ideas of what I want, other than observing simply. There are horse photographs that I admire very much, and what I really want to know is how much detail (horse hair) my camera can pick up. And if I like the pictures, I might try split tone in Photoshop, which was what I mainly bought it for. Anyway, I am flying solo on Latuda and Wellbutrin now and I like the idea of antidepressants generally. I am quite stiff in my muscles, I have noticed, which has me a little disappointed, but I am soldiering on with my exercises regardless. I see my psychiatrist for the last time this week, she is moving back to New York City in October. Ordinarily I would understand moving like that, but I have come to really appreciate a paid-for house, a paid-for car and the short, smooth traffic trips to places around town that are not too far away. With my schizophrenia, music and film - formerly my life's blood - are out of the question as they cause episodes. I would like a museum and other sights and so on that exciting cities offer, but I don't want to live there. I haven't any complaints about it, I loved London and Los Angeles, but, with schizophrenia, I just really appreciate the simplicity and security of my present location. It has taken some time to adjust, but I have finally got a home and I don't want to leave it. It's nice though as, for as long as it has lasted, I had a genuine NYC psychiatrist. And she is the best I have ever had, too.
