My first day back on the job. I feel more relaxed than when I was working before my accident. It looks like my return is getting around the company. It seems everyone knows about my accident, replete with rumors. I discovered that I can live off of what I get with Social Security. This gives me freedom that I did not know I have. The case manager from the personal injury law firm phoned me. This is the first call from them since I signed up with them more than a month ago. I sure hope the other driver is well insured. They were given a ticket “failed to yield right of way” by the policeman. This helps my case. My depression goes up and down, but with some effort, I remain functional. My dog is snoring again, she belched a couple days ago, and it has been awhile since she farted. Now aren’t these good examples of a dog with talent?

Lately I have been feeling an oncoming manic episode. I now have to be very careful now. I can spend on impulse, which can better be considered a compulsion. Past episodes cost me allot of money, that which I will never recover from. So one thing I am doing is to constantly check my bank balances. Another is a purchase requirements list that details the conditions that have to be met before a purchase is made. I am a little scared about finding myself increasing my debt that I cannot realistically pay down. I never want to go bankrupt. As it is, I will have to work the rest of my life to pay off what I already owe now. So this helps too in keeping me from spending more money.
