Reading is really good for me too. I hate that I can't concentrate well enough to read more than a few pages right now though. I hope I can read again soon. I will have to return my library books before I can finish them, and several of them have holds queues so they can't be re-checked.

I did one of those adult coloring book pages this morning while listening to Spotify! It is calming. I used markers though so it went thru the page onto the back picture, but I don't think I'd have ever colored the back pic, it was pretty boring. I didn't have the patience for map pencials and didn't want to do crayons. Maybe next time. I sucked at staying in the lines, especially as I got close to finishing the pic.

H was sweet when he left this morning, told me not to stress myself out at all, that daughter can do the dishes & take care of the cats if I need her to and to call if I need anything. He said he'd pick up dinner.

I've managed to do the laundry and even boiled an egg to make tuna salad without burning down the house! Better than my last manic episode, that morning, I tried to boil an egg without water, somehow poured out then dumped the burning hot egg (shell & all) once I smelled it burning on the stove straight into the trash along with the pot, starting a fire in the trash can, setting off all the smoke detectors at like 4 AM and stinking up the house. I was lucky I didn't set a major fire that time!

I am trying to watch my show on TV but keep detting distracted by every little thing; I have been trying to get thru a 45 min. episode since 8:30 AM and it's 1 PM now. I watch 5 min., get distracted, watch 5 more, etc. I'll finish it today yet! At least I can follow the story now which is more than I could do a few days ago.
