I've started trying to channel some of the hypergraphia into writing (pen & notebook type). I wrote 2 poems yesterday, though I'd only had the intention to write one, but the second one just naturally followed.

Since meds, bipolar, or life in general has killed a lot of my creativity as far as writing ideas go, I've found an online list of writing prompts.

Did the first one today, stuck to nonfiction, but I think I will repeat the same prompt again in poetry form and then short story form. Not going to pressure myself on it this weekend & next week; so many Halloween events are coming upt.

Beyond stressed about those, especially the one at my daughter's elementary school on Sunday with the CPS case, even if the investigation ruled in my favor. But it's elementary school, it's small, surely the caseworker talked to the principal, probably the counselor, likely my daughter's 2 main teachers. This school fall festival is never widely attended, so if any of the these people are present, they will see me.

Worse, H had phone conversations about school and my daughter with the principal yesterday (my daughter has some concern one of her teachers does not like her; she got banned from computer use in that class, and that made H furious). Today, he was supposed to talk to that teacher over the phone during his conference period and the other teacher over lunch (the second teacher is the language arts teacher, and because my daughter can read at a 12th grade level - she's in 5th grade - the LA teacher gives her a high reading goal to reach, at least she did this last 9 weeks, and it upset my daughter not to reach it. But she has to read harder and longer books, has a certain reading level she cannot go below. Not to mention, she is 10. She does not want to read about vampires, zombies, love stories, school shootings, teen suicide when it comes to fiction (and the library does not have many books to meet her reading needs/goals).

So I cannot wait until the weekend and Halloween are over and done.
