 I was reorganizing my desk today and moved my computer and in doing so i heard a pop and felt it in my back. I dont know if i mentioned this before, but sometime last year i was picking up a server at work and when i leaned back with it in my arms, i felt a crunch. My back has been kinda iffy ever since. Other than some mild discomfort and pain, life is good. 

I was outside early today admiring an old birds nest in my neighbors tree. I thought it was interesting because when a bird's nest is left alone all winter, any bird can come back to it in the spring and have their babies there rather than just that one specific bird that first set it up. The nest, looking undisturbed... could have been there for a few years now, and this is the first time I'm noticing it. The part that took my attention the most, wasn't the birds nest, but rather the fact that the tree already had buds on it. It's February 4th... The trees in New England shouldn't have buds on them already. It's too damn cold and the temps shift wildly it'll kill the damn buds and therefore the trees themselves. My book is published and out on amazon. Link below https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DTBTKJ1J

Last week i set out to figure out the Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing process and actually nailed it down. I had written a book last year about my experiences with psychotic episodes based on my personal experience with them. Tracing all the way back to 2008 when i experienced my first one, The book is a first hand account at my struggle to deal with paranoid delusions while maintaining a normal life. Overall its not that long of a read. And I'm hoping that anyone who buys it on Amazon will find hope in it rather than despair. The fact that my first episode was triggered by a suicide attempt in 2008 and here i am 17 years later still alive an kicking is a good thing. If i had to attribute my progress to anything, i would say it was likely my medication and a supportive group of people over the years that helped me get to where i am.
