Spring is here and it's so unusual to not be hypomanic. I've been hypomanic in Spring for most of my life (57). I haven't been hypomanic since the Summer of 2022. Perhaps this is the new normal?

I gave up on playing Scrabble competitively online against other humans. At first my rating rose and i thought my game was in good shape. But then it took a deep dive. I lost about 15 of my last 20 games. It was unpleasant. I figure i just had stellar luck at first, but really my game has deteriorated quite a bit.

So i'm back playing the dumb bots again now. I figure since i'm not playing at club anymore, there's no need to redevelop my game. It's just to have a nice time doing something i am good at and feel better about myself, to pass the time and exercise my mind. There's no need to be so intense about it.

Hugs to all who need them!
