Well, i'm back. I lasted all of five days. I've been writing on bipolar forums for 15 years. I guess it's just part of my life.

Not much new to report. I keep plodding along at the same sedate pace. I tried to have fun at a 50+ forum but one of the threads was, How do you fold a fitted bed sheet? So inane. The chat room there is good tho. I met a fun woman who told me Speedos are called "Budgie Smugglers" in Australia!

I think i had my Spring boost of high mood that week or ten days where i was eating meals at the table on real dishes and doing the dishes and cleaned out a cupboard. This year is feeling a lot like 2020 where i was depressed almost all year except for brief boosts in the Spring and Fall. Pretty much given up on any genuine hypomania this year. There's still time -- i'm usually flying by Easter, but it's doubtful.

@~Christina:

Belated H@pPy BiRtHd@Y! Grats on getting you hair cut. It sounds lovely. Mine is growing in nicely too, got two (2) compliments on it today!

@BeyondtheRainbow:

Grats on the good medical results. Good luck on your next step.

@Soupe du jour:

Your travel plans sound exciting. I don't travel and sometimes feel left out but i heard that the Earth rotates at 1000 miles per hour at the Equator, so i guess you could say i DO travel!
