@Blue_Bird I love your painting!

I'm pretty worn out today from yesterday and then I only slept 5 hr. I had a grocery pickup so I had to get up. I did a super gentle pilates video, that felt good, the stretching was wonderful. Had breakfast, read with the SAD lamp, did grocery curbside pickup & put everything away. I painted a mango but the workbook didn't really have anything super impressive for it; my mango is close to dead-on to the example in the book. I wish it had been a bit more detailed.

Yesterday went well. Eating went super (wrote more about that in the ED thread), but I was able to use intuitive eating and ate what I wanted without overeating and did order that hamburger (ate just under half, brought the rest home for lunch today). Socially I did okay though I did sneak off to the sanctuary for about 10 min for some quiet and prayer. But it was a lot of driving and getting home late and then my sister sent TONS of graduation decorations (some not even used), unopened plates, napkins, nicely wrapped graduation silverware home with me since my daughter will be a senior and graduating next year. I don't know that we will throw a party to my sister's caliber, but there will be some sort of party and if my youngest sister wants the anything unused afterwards, I'll send it with her though my oldest niece will only just be entering 10th grade the next school year. But my youngest sister practices penny pinching and frugality all the way so she'll likely take it.

This morning though I am tired. Yesterday got me a bit keyed up, I didn't sleep well (oh, AND I woke up with night sweats; I did take my Seroquel last night, I checked twice before taking my meds so I'm thinking it's perimenopause. I woke up with my nightshirt drenched through in spots with sweat not just under the arms but the torso and back.) My metabolism was raging this morning and I hope it's not hypomania but lack of sleep does cause me that and I had coffee this morning too. I felt I just couldn't eat enough to keep up with it, but I think feeling my prn Seroquel is finally calming that down, I get that from time to time especially with hypomania/mania but also I've had it randomly too. I've been exercising a lot and that could be it as well, just a catchup.

I think I am going to have an early lunch and try for a nap.
