Where to Watch TV for Free
I'm addicted to watching new content as often as I can. So I like my streaming services preferably without commercials, but it can become expensive to have multiple streaming services. Sometimes we pick and choose what to watch. Of course, Netflix has been our go-to for over a decade.

Job Searching
My Husband's Job Search Last October, my husband's work blindsided him when he was suddenly let go from his job of 12 years. Many others lost jobs around the same time too. My husband and I both had such anxiety our stomachs churned and we couldn't handle eating anything. For the first time in our marriage, we had to remind ourselves to eat (we usually overeat). Now only I had a job to support us when my part-time job just covered our groceries.

March Brain Dump
Life is so hectic. I have been trying to get back to writing for months now. Get back to doing so many things. I want to start so many projects too. And it is just all so choppy in my head and on paper as I try to brain dump. I don't know if you've felt spring fever every year (my bipolar contributes to that craziness too), but it feels wild. I'm feeling choppier and flightier and tireder (yes I said that) than ever. Just going crazy, why don't you come along with me? Have you heard that song?

It's Hard to Write When It's Hard to Concentrate
My oldest son complains that I don't finish sentences when I am talking, which is sadly true. I get distracted midthought, or my thought isn't complete so I lose what I was saying. My husband and son will wait until I form the words for the thought. Sometimes it never comes. I often ask for "whatchamacallit" and can describe the item, where it is located, and so on. If my husband is on the same wavelength, he will bring me the "whatchamacallit". (I googled a long question which resulted in tip-of-the-tongue, anomia, and aphasia--not "apraxia" which first came to mind.) Sometimes it will take hours, weeks, or months before I remember the word I want to use. Ironically, I have an excellent memory of faces--sometimes their names.
