an early present :) a teaser for your weekend christmas xx - life update: i'm out of my partial-hospitalization program! i'm now in an intensive outpatient program, where i have all of my electronics, my car, and a lot more freedom. i'm still out of town -- currently running my shoots out of a storage unit like a genius -- and now in a sober house through the program. i'll be here until late january, taking classes and working and adjusting back to normal life! as for the brain, if you're interested: i've been diagnosed bipolar 1, which was a scary thing to hear. if you know anything about it -- not what the media portrays -- it is kinda obvious looking back at my erratic scheduling, waves of energy, and depressive episodes over the past two years. anyways: now that i'm properly diagnosed, i can be properly treated! life is really *really* good right now. i'm learning every day, following a routine, taking care of myself, *medicated*, and watching the sunrise every morning. it's still not great not being home, but i'm where i need to be and am surrounded by a constant and stable support network. also also: i'm an alcoholic, and i'm two months sober! all is good. really good. xx, bobbie
