I have had an extremely boring day. I believe I am slightly hypomanic due to the fact that I woke up at 5:20 - after taking seroquel at 10:30pm - and I’m not tired in the slightest. It is difficult to be in here when I have so much energy. I could be cleaning and organizing. I could be baking cookies. I could even be wrapping presents. But I cannot go out into the common areas until Thursday.

It’s doubly difficult because I don’t know what my mood will be like on Thursday. I could be horribly depressed again. And then I won’t want to bake, make candy, or wrap gifts. The wrapping at the very least MUST be done. It is my least favorite thing to do so if I’m depressed it will be just that much harder. Hopefully I won’t be.

I’ve spent my time watching Christmas movies today. I watched the Santa clause, home alone 2, a Christmas story, the Christmas chronicles, and jingle jangle. I did have enough energy finally to do my laundry that’s been piling up for two weeks. I didn’t want RS to do it, I just feel like this whole room is a biohazard. I can’t wait to wash all the linens and disinfect/air out the room. I opened the window on Friday because it was 60 degrees but it will be back to more seasonal temperatures this week, low to mid forties. I’m not hanging out in a forty degree room.

I ordered grocery delivery for tomorrow again and I made purchases on Amazon that I absolutely did not need for myself. Christmas nail wraps and blue hair dye. I want to dye my hair blue but I’m afraid it will be too bright for work so as a compromise with myself I am going to test it first on two streaks in front. I know that is acceptable.
