Feeling the same
I feel about the same as I did yesterday... I did manage to go out for a 0.8 mile walk, so that's something. I cleaned the kitchen some more... It's something that needs to be done daily it seems... I fry a lot of bacon for my diet, so that gets grease all over the stove. It was much easier to clean when I would eat cereal for breakfast. I'm trying a thing where no dishes are left in the sink overnight. It's been going well so far... I just have a dish or two at night since I've been taking care of them during the day.
I'm going to try and go into volunteer tomorrow... We will see how my energy is. I've been doing the chicken broth and potassium and I've been less depressed with more energy. Yesterday I had a bit too much energy and I was afraid I was going to go hypomanic, but I was fine. I just had trouble falling asleep since I took a nap so late. I think the same thing is going to happen to me tonight. I took a nap and woke up at 7 pm. I was just tired from my walk and cleaning. If I volunteer tomorrow, I will probably come home and take a nap as well. It's very draining to me. But it's worth it. I'm learning how things work in my new area.
I got a phone call today from an old friend and it just made my day. I was so happy to hear from her. She just kinda fell off the face of the earth for 6 months. No phone, no posting, nothing. She lives in Mass and texed someone that she was nowhere near Boston when the bombing happened. That's all we got from her for a while. Now she called me, yay! That made my day.

sounds like a good day all around. be proud of the walk, .8 isn\'t small, and it made you feel good. I hate bacon grease, its so hard to clean, good idea to keep up on it. you know, doing the dishes actually don\'t take that long and it is nice not to wake up to that mess. last night I didn\'t clean them and there they are. interesting about the chicken broth, that is great you found something in your diet that helps you. where did you find out about this? I nap every day for 2 hours but t is at 2:30 or 3 when I lay down, I think we all need it. yay on the old friend, I hope you keep in touch. many hugss
Have you ever looked at flylady.com for help with getting a housecleaning schedule set up. Both Zee and I love that site. It is based on babysteps and what you can get done in 15 minutes.
Looks like the broth and potassium is helping with your energy levels.
nice when you hear from old friends unexpectedly. and good that she wasn\'t near the bombing! does she do marathons?
best of luck with the exercise and good idea! wish i would do that! xxoo
She walks 2-4 miles a day, but no marathons. I was just happy to hear from her
