How interesting, about the doves having a different sound! There's a Mourning Dove outside of my bedroom; it was away all winter, then one day, it returned. It coos so softly and lovely.
Hi Beth. I'm a little late in responding to this post, but that day I wasn't nearly as aware of my mood state as now. Gosh yea this is clearly affecting me! Today I'm about as irritable hypo as I've been for a long time. Hubby deliberately dropped me off at the Airbnb to get rid of me...well, to let me cool off. I wanted away from him, too. He and I were debating fiercely about who is more domineering. I know he is, but I do get the official raspberries prize for most complaints. When irritable hypo I can belt out A LOT. That's not my norm, so it is "dysfunctional". I took an Ativan and am now resting after tidying up and doing minor cleaning of the Airbnb apartment. Dad, Sis, and nephew will come here for birthday cake after a dinner at a pizzeria.

As I wrote yesterday, I almost wish we could go straight home on Saturday instead of another week near NYC. But that's not gonna happen, so I'd better get my ssht in order. I'll take a little extra Seroquel if necessary, but I don't have much extra to spare. Just Ativan. I am sleeping just fine, so that's not an issue. Only daytime stuff. It is stressful and also depressing. Boy how I sometimes wish I could take a vacation all by myself and leave him home. No, I don't want to leave him, just have a break from him to do 100% of what I want, how I want, when and where I want.
