yesterday and this morning I started 'amping up' energy wise - and started to have a lot of observations

about life in general. I have been trying to keep busy - and have come close to writing a really detailed

journal about what I am noticing. But I guess in summary I have been feeling like I my energy is amping up

and like I am untethered. My reaction is to just focus on real basics - and like there is maybe different solutions

but not one big comprehensive one - just a lot of possibilities. My answer 'to deal' is just to do the best I can,

focus on what's in front of me - and take my self through the steps of dealing with the day - and maybe addressing

some of my fear as well. Make plans if I can. Anyways, thanks very much for reading.

Noticing ahead of time can make all the difference, as you know, so you can start making adjustments to keep everything under control. It sounds like you've got a good plan!

amp it up a little, be aware and be productive. and keep an eye out for too much, okay, mark? the best solution to mania is to nip it before it goes full blown. but there's nothing wrong with feeling good and capable. ((((hugs))))

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
