Mostly I like mysteries. At least lately I've been on a mystery kick. I also like plain adult fiction, I used to read a lot of those Oprah book picks. Most I enjoyed, but not all. I'm into the Michael Connelly Harry Bosch mysteries lately. I read most of the early books once upon a time, but I'm re-reading them now, and I find I've forgotten a lot of the stories and how the mysteries end, so it's like reading new books to me. The later Bosch mysteries I didn't read, mostly because that's when I had my daughter, and she was a high maintenance baby (colic and all that, teethed WAY early too, didn't sleep thru nights, finally H & I had her co-sleeping, she nursed so often, slow to take to eating solid foods), high maintenance toddler. I think daughter is close to being on the autistic scale but not quite. H never wanted her tested and labelled. And she does well although there are some things like she's an extremely picky eater, won't eat anything with spaghetti sauce as an ingredient, doesn't like mixed foods so I have to serve each item in a recipe separately and some recipes you can do this easily and others not (but she eats raw fruits & veggies well, just no seasoning on cooked veggies other than salt & pepper. cheeses, meats that only have salt & pepper to season, etc.), hates loud sounds (still goes into her room and closes the door for things like the vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, it was a nightmare to get her to use public restrooms with hand blow dryers- she still wipes her wet hands on her clothes). But even with all this she functions quite well. It was just a challenge to learn her boundaries growing up and doing my best to accommodate her. I know she is not doing this on purpose, it's just the way she is.

You are right. I have WAY more energy than usual. Today even a lot for being manic, I think b/c I got more sleep last night.

I made a spinach, cheese & egg quiche in a mug in the microwave. I usually don't bother to cook breakfast, just have cereal, Poptarts & fruit, something super easy like that. I'm not the greatest cook and hate cooking, so it's a minor miracle I didn't destroy the microwave.

I also straightened up the area where we have multiple charging cords and devices charging. It was a tangle of cables. Underneath everything, I found old kindles. I don't even use kindles since I got an iPad. I have no clue how old they are. Found a Fitbit too, but I'm not going to charge it and wear it; I've determine it perpetuates ED thinking.

Again, sorry for the long post. Mania, you know...
