Oh, how I have my way with words! It's a wonder I can even do things like ordering coffee.

Sorry I meant with "no buying sprees" no impulsive buying (as in impulsive for normal people ) at all!

I meant wear and tear. Totally worn-down shoes.

I am both glad you can keep a lid on it, Ocean, and that Cash has such fine taste and matching skills, though.

Just casually, I wear trainers always. I mean, like an umbrella in case of rain, in case of mania when I might not be home for long. Took me years to learn that that is what I need.

Maybe it's just me: I tend not to impulsively buy many shoes when manic (my bad), but only afterwards I need new trainers (or maybe even then that's what I tell myself). But often it's just because I need them. Totally worn out.

Let's call them my manic shoes.

Edit:
I also found out that I stopped mid-sentence in my original post (lose... yeah, tell us!). I meant to say it is a very good way (tiptoeing on one foot, not the other) to lose energy! Add that too your manic skill set! I have (don't know how well that mixes with manic drive, disinhibition and poor memory though).
