I’ve been sleeping a lot lately…borderline unhealthy but not quite. In any event, as my neurologist says, we need sleep to heal the brain. As a result, I’m mentally a lot sharper (several people have noticed this), nicer, and healthier. Haven’t had caffeine for a few days, and I’m not feeling as “toxic,” for lack of a better word. I hope anyone I’ve offended recently will understand I wasn’t at my best. I think healing is a process, and sometimes it’s two steps forward one step back, as they say. Recovery is possible!
I was recently thinking of the 4-year stay in a state hospital I went through in the 90s, and how far I’ve come. Dammit it’s been a daily battle, but it requires a commitment to health and recovery - a desire to get better and not wallow in muck. I’m going out to karaoke with my wife and some friends tonight, and I’m very much looking forward to it. I need to get out of the house. Going a little stir-crazy.

Anyone who can sing in front of a room full of strangers is a person I consider iron clad brave.
Glad you get to enjoy. What song do you have nailed down?
I do appreciate the fact that you keep on fighting and figuring new ways to get through all the muck. Thank you.

Haha, yeah, my wife and I sang a duet. I just got home and saw this. We brought a kid with us - we inherit them from time to time based on their parents’ desire to get a break. So we are always baby-sitting someone - they range in age from 8 months to 14 years. Tonight we have a 4 year old. She is watching Pac-Man right now. We made a makeshift bed out of a comforter, a pillow, blankets, and a HUGE stuffed caterpillar. She says “today” as “today-day.” Cute, sweet kid. I have a feeling I’m going to be up early tomorrow. 
Hope you’re having a good night @SurprisedJ.

That’s the best part for me… I get to hang out and spend time with my nieces and nephews… buy them loud annoying toys… and when they get cranky and have a cold… I can send them home. 
In all seriousness… I love being an Uncle. Enjoy your evening as well.
Me too. I am not a biological uncle to any of these kids, I am “Uncle” Greg. And my wife is “Aunt” J. She is fascinated by the touchpad on my laptop, and loves to blame her farts on me. Sigh.
