I have no major obligations for well over a week. It feels good. I'm also lucky that my hubby did the dishes last night, so I have few chores today. I planned meals for our vacation next week, but need to create the grocery list (I'll be cooking). I promised that the meals would be diet-friendly. Such meal planning is unique. The kitchen will have needed tools, but the pantry will likely have few, if any. Apparently there is a wonderful gas grill there. The weather is supposed to be nice, so most dinners will be grilled. We only have a charcoal grill at home, which is a little hassle.

The place we're going is in the PA mountains and has a lake in the back of the house.

My psychiatrist wouldn't lower my Seroquel XR. I think he thought I was hypomanic. I think he often thinks that. Actually, once he told me that my baseline mood is mildly hypomanic. I don't put it that way. I rather like saying I have a hyperthymic personality. That sounds a lot less dysfunctional. Anyway, I did say that I still have good energy and have been sleeping well, and waking up ready to start the day.

Our internet was so slow. Hubby asked me to call Verizon. I did chat, instead. [A better idea for me.] But they asked me questions and gave me instructions I was perplexed about. I must have called hubby at work at least six times. Fortunately, the problem did get resolved in the end.
