Just coming, sort of, out of a manic phase. Not enough to really be posting sensibly enough yet, but hey, that is part of this disease. Had a conversation with hubby this morning when he sent me a link to a new Washington state law that would allow ambulance drivers to take people in need directly to mental health services rather than them having to go through the emergency room first. Sounds sensible to me. It would have saved us countless thousands of dollars. I realize that there is the question of not enough services for as many of us sufferers as are currently waiting for help, but this could help alleviate some of the problems we face. Bankruptcy for one.
This link explains it better than I ever possibly could in such a short post.

Oh, and about my manic phase? The house still isn't clean, but I have come up with some really creative dinners!
Talk about some killer summer cooking! Boneless dry rubbed smoked ribs, awesome pasta salad and her standard wonderful baked beans. Tonight she's turning the beans into beanie-weanie and making cornbread. Happy Hubby!
