Went outside to tinker some. Worked in the flower beds and started some flowers from seeds. Almost tipped the tipping point when Poppie decided to point out the obvious to me. Instead of snapping though, I worked some more, came inside and said "you're not allowed to tell me to shut up when I say you can't bark at me". He said zip and I went off to take a shower !!!! (Shower being an important thing we usually forgo being bipolar folk). Now I'm all squeeky clean and it's raining outside.

Good day so far. Let's hope I'm finally able to get some sleep tonight. Perhaps, just because I'll take a sleeping med so that I actually sleep for more than four hours tonight. I know my body needs more than 'light sleep'. Those REMS are important for body regeneration functions and I know I'm missing a great deal by this manic cycle I'm currently in.
