Finger is better today, quite pink. Leah asked me if I want to "go to school" with her tomorrow. She and Toby are bringing lunch in for the school (one room schoolhouse). I bought four 5/8" rods for Paul's 2 wagons he is making out of 8 wheels we bought at Harbor freight a week ago. He got 4 bushings (I picked up at Hoekstra's downtown) that go from 1/2 to 5/8' inch to counteract the play in the wheels on Paul's first wagon with 1/2" rod axles. Wheels have 5/8 inch openings. It was only 2.50 for the bushings but 40.00 almost for the 4 rods.
I might contact JNB about watercolor paper, or else I'll go to Michaels Monday morning. I have a lot to do Friday, Sat. and Sunday. I have the schoolhouse on Friday, Flea Market Sat, Sunday, and will go to Michaels either Monday or Tuesday morning.
"Symptoms associated with this illness mirror symptoms of many other mental health disruptions, and make a diagnosis, sometimes difficult. This is especially true for "shadow" manifestations that can mean moderate highs and lows, but an absence of normal functioning. General symptoms can include times of depression and an inability to function. Thoughts of helplessness and suicide are also present. This depressive state can be incorrectly diagnosed as clinical depression. Then, as if the person were over the hump of feeling low, an elevated mood occurs. There can be a "flight" of ideas and an inability to keep up with one's own thoughts. Sleeplessness and hyperactivity can occur. Grandiose thinking about one's own abilities is associated with manic depression bipolar disorder when the victim is experiencing mania. These symptoms are much like the symptoms of ADHD, and many are wrongly diagnosed with ADHD.
To achieve any type of normal lifestyle, those who have a diagnosis of bipolar that goes beyond the milder cases will need to first, receive a test for manic depression and then work under the care of a psychiatrist who has experience in this disorder. No one drug has proven to be effective, but rather doctor's generally try a combination of drugs to achieve balance. Treating children can be difficult because as they grow, have hormonal changes, and emotionally mature, medications can stop working. Ongoing evaluations may be necessary. Psychiatric therapy will also be necessary, giving the one diagnosed the tools to live and cope with the illness. Those who have milder cases of manic depression bipolar disorder may be able to manage with counseling alone, learning how to recognize the onset of a depressive state or the onset of mania.
A diagnosis of bipolar can be devastating to the one with the illness and to friends and family. But, God offers promises of a hope and future for everyone and when we turn to Him and pray, we can find the strength to hang onto His promises. There may be times when it feels like life is out of control when dealing with a child or spouse who has manic depression bipolar disorder. But, remember, God is in complete control. "What man is he that feareth the Lord? Him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose. His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seek shall inherit the earth. The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant." (Psalm 25:12-14)
When there is a family member with this illness, other members of the family will need to have someone to talk to for support as well. Keeping a healthy and realistic perspective will require retreating and processing with trustworthy people outside the immediate family. Education is also a very important factor. Getting informed about the facts involved with a test for manic depression and treatment will help all family members understand and therefore cope. There has been a stigma attached to this disorder for far too long, and being equipped with the truth will help not only the victim and the immediate family, but will help in changing perceptions in our culture."
my finger is getting better, it's like a blister, I taped the skin back down.

From Christian Net, Jesus can heal bipolar.
I have yet to see a bipolar or ADHD day or get stickers in the mail for bipolar or ADHD association or non-profit.
