Lately, I haven't been getting any work done. When I say "haven't been getting any work done", I mean I literally haven't done a thing. Nada. Zip. Zilch. No exaggeration. I just stare at my work laptop screen for about 2 minutes or so, enough to catch up on my email, then close the lid and wander off to do something else. (I've been working from home.) I have not submitted for vacation time, which I know is immoral.

I've been so enamored with books that all of my focus has gone into books and none into the actual work I must complete for my job. I get a huge thrill in buying books upon books upon books, and yet, I haven't read a thing. I've just bought, bought, and bought... Once the book comes in the mail, I lose interest in reading it. I mean, I still think the topics are cool and such, but once I buy, I just sit there and say "wow, that's an awesome topic!" Then I go off and buy something else that I think is even cooler.

I'm not sure if this behavior is a premonition of mania, but I am scared of what may happen. However, I am getting normal amounts of sleep because of Seroquel. 8-9 hours? Dunno. It's bizarre.

I was also deaf in my right ear for a good 5 days (no exaggeration) due to an ear infection from hell. I was distracted from work because of it, and I had to see the doctor to see what I could do about it. (I was stupid and didn't see a doctor right away.)
