I feel like fat is falling off my body. I am now almost wondering if my mood is elevating. My projects are more numerous than I can remember. My physical activity has skyrocketed. My mood is especially good, but I don't see/hear myself otherwise looking or sounding hypomanic/manic. I am driven beyond belief. I am a woman on a mission.

I haven't had my monthly for quite a while. If it is perimenopause, it seems early at 49. Maybe other women have it this early, but most women in my family had it later in life. My gynecologist said to hold off on the biopsy until after my vacation. That's what I wanted, anyway.

I am nervous that we won't manage to get covid tests in time for our trip. There is a very strict time window for getting the test done and needing the results. You would think in a country like the US that anything would be possible, especially for extra $$$$$, but maybe not this?
