I haven't read all the posts yet, so I'll go back and do that after lunch to catch up. Just a quick update here:
I slept wonderfully again last night, a blissful 8.5 hr. Sleep helps my bipolar so much, I am so grateful for every night that I have good sleep. I did a gentle pilates video and practiced holding the plank position. All my plank practice has resulted in I can now do an actual honest-to-god real pushup again. Just one for now, but hey, I don't think I have been able to do a pushup in 10-15 years!
Read with the SAD lamp and finished my library book which seemed to slog in places so I'm ready to move on to a new book. The mechanic had the car fixed, so H and I drove over to pick it up. Thank God it was fixable. It's a 20 yr. old car, and every time I have to take it to the mechanic I'm just waiting to hear the words "It can't be fixed." Buying a good used car is more expensive than ever these days, and our budget would take a nice hit when we need to buy another car. I drew some, 4 pics in the Creative Corner forum. Some turned out better than others but I made good progress on drawing sharks; I posted my first shark attempt along with my drawing today, and today's drawing definitely looks a lot better.
Time to get lunch ready before my daughter has her next class. I'll come back and catch up on the posts later!
