BP is dictating my life. I would like to take a break from:

making sure that I take my meds and on time, and never run out;
monitoring the effects of the meds and levels;
that I manage my work and sleep schedule;
controlling dietary things that too can be triggering;
monitoring my interactions with some people especially at work, and well, with family and friends too for that matter;
going to doctor's and T appointments;
and from thinking about all this all the time.

Don't get me wrong, I am glad it helps me to function but it dictates so much of my life that it would be nice not to think about it for awhile.

So I am going mentally on vacation today and not going to consider any of it since I am off of work today for a change. I am turning off my phone, so no interactions to worry about, and spending the day distracting from it all. It is supposed to be lovely today. I haven't drawn since I don't know when so I will take the dogs out and my sketch pad, take in the sights, and find some place to relax. Hopefully this will be the beginning for more breaks to come. BP doesn't have to dictate my life.

Care to join me for a mini-mental vacation to get away for a bit? What would you like to do? Sending best wishes. Enjoy.
