So what is everybody up to today. I'm just nosy- busy body....

I'm working while listening to tunes, same thing I did yesterday but the difference is I'm not depressed today. For some reason I have lots of energy and I was up all night. I have a few software bugs to squash today. I'm vowing to get to the bottom of it and get it fixed. I hate it when things don't work like they are supposed to. My customers aren't to thrilled about it either.

Well let us know what you are up to today.

I have therapy, a support group, and then individual therapy. I feel like crap physically now so I am HOPING that I will feel well enough to make it through the day.

I might prefer to skip today. Son in a crisis and needing money I don't have. Ditto for house plumbing. Another day older and deeper in debt...

Still, got my workout in. Been out and about appreciating our world to the best of my response-ability. I am seeing the gifts between the dings. This, too, shall pass.

Good for you Gwendoly, even with all those issues you still got your workout in. I lack motivation for working out and I really need it.

Working out has the negative side effect of allot more pesky energy that can turn manic with frightening ease, but it also makes a wonderful channel for that same mania.

There always seems to be that give and take...

Have a few quotes to finish up and get out to clients.

Get ready for my few days away next week on the Gold Coast for Insurance Managers.

I hope I get some sleep tonight! My doc upped my trileptal to help calm the hypo, so maybe I'll get some sleep. It's nearing on 2 weeks without more than 3 hours a night. BUT, after I wake up, it's work, work, work tomorrow. I have to read an article for the journal I'm co-ediing, work for a professor, and transcribe some interviews. Then I have to laundry. Then if I'm lucky I'll go out to lunch (Kenyan) with a friend, then I have an interview. After the interview, going to the comedy club with a friend. All this on no sleep. Yeah baby!

Working on some conference abstracts, and winding down to some tunes and the scent of a few candles.
