I'm glad you communicated with your pdoc but am sorry about your lack of sleep. I'm sleeping around 6 hours a night (still not quite enough though not as little when full manic sets in), but I'm pretty sure I have hypomania. Not so much this morning though. I didn't exercise, not even walking. I woke up with an upset stomach. I'm not sure if it's, my period (day 2 which is always the worst), forgetting to take my Protonix for my stomach for over a week, a bug, or anxiety or all combined.

My daughter is starting school again today, 5th grade, and the district has decided to start school later and dismiss 30 minutes later (instead of 3:15, 3:45, which I don't like). We had a good routine going with the 3:15 dismissal and homework, dinner, bath, going to bed, with some playtime. Also, my daughter is an a dual language Spanish/English class (she's been in it since kindergarten), and the spelling words she gets for Spanish are so much harder than the English words. Maybe it's just because we're Anglo and don't speak or read Spanish at home. However, it does have a lot of accent marks that can make words tricky, along with the silent "h" letter. I don't think she will get spelling words this week with starting on a Wednesday, but she'll likely have them next week. Plus, I know she's going to come home with that huge packet of forms to fill out. I did the online registration again this summer, which is supposed to save you on the forms, but it didn't seem to do that for us last year. We all have dentist appointments I pre-scheduled 6 months ago at the beginning of September, assuming the 3:15 dismissal, and I don't want to have to pull my daughter out early for the dentist, so now I have to reschedule, and sometimes it's hard to get a block where they can fit in everyone - my husband, my daughter & me. My husband likes to be there just in case my daughter has a cavity. She has super high anxiety at the dentist, and it gets worse with a cavity even if I tell them to use the nitrous oxide while they fill it.

I called my pdoc's office yesterday, but he never got back to me. Either the front desk didn't give him my message, or maybe he had a hectic day and forgot. Even though I'm getting things more things accomplished and having more energy (though not today), I can tell it's worse. I'm getting more forgetful in the middle of doing tasks. I will do things like load all the wet clothes in the dryer and forget to start it or stop something in the middle to start something else that needs doing and then forget to finish what I was doing before. I called around 5:30 this morning and left a voicemail at the front desk, which I'm hoping he responds to early. He either responds early, around lunchtime, or 5 - 5:30. So we'll see.
