After reading y'all's responses I think maybe I was ramping up a little before I even started futzing with my meds. I'm normally not very impulsive when I'm stable. But that doesn't negate the fact that I feel sooooo much more lively these days. I just took my nighttime meds about two hours ago so I'm a tad mellower, but I can hardly wait till the morning so I can get up and go get my hair done. That's all the exicitment planned for tomorrow but it something. I want to drink coffee-sludge out of the machine at my son-in-law's salon and gossip like the ladies in "Steel Magnolias". I'm not normally delightful in the mornings but if I get enough caffeine in me I can at least carry on a conversation. Getting out of the house is also a good thing. I don't always have access to a car. I'm part owner of a 2017 Mini Cooper but my SIL usually takes it to work unless I tell him I need the car myself. I just don't have anywhere to go most days so I sit at home with my son's mother-in-law. She is also bipolar but denies it to the hilt. I don't know why she thinks it's so shameful, after all I am and I refuse to be ashamed. We get along good though, which is miraculous considering we are such different ages and backgrounds. She is 71 and was raised in a VERY strict Baptist home where there was no music except the Grand Ol' Opry and Southern gospel, no dancing, no drinking/smoking...must have been more boring than my own life today. Haha!
