Well, I had visitors and so had to put the cleaning on hold for a while. Its nearly 11pm, and everything's finally clean,including ME! Took some Tremadol bcoz I can feel my back's gonna flare up,and can't miss work tomorrow, gawd fibro sucks!! Very proud of myself tho, did a much better job than I expected btw... Anybody know how I can get our kitten to stop suckling my wrist? its irritating,and the clawing doesn't help at all... Saying 'no' doesn't help,he sulks, waits for me to sleep,and then BAM!

Kitten is going for pulse to suckle ... could try rubbing garlic salt there to discourage but probably will relocate.

Have you given warm formula in bottle, warm water bottle, wind up clock?

Christina I will definitly enjoy! And yes, I'm the push thru typeRoadieHe doesn't want the bottle, even tried a pacifier, he prefers any naked flesh he can reach. He likes my earlobes best, but he's not picky at all. We thought it was coz he's new and nervous, but he's been here 2 months, acts like he owns the place and the people, or rather slaves, yet he still latches to your skin before he goes to sleep at night and here I thought I was done with babies

I believe you. 11 is quite ordinary. 9, however....

Check in is... very slow start, in bed most of day so very very over it all and of being majorly insufficient. Relatively ok now, but still supremely unmotivated. If I could kick myself in the *** enough to do so much as bake up that chicken in the fridge... We'll see.

Edited to correct. Not even relatively.

I designed a bead necklace yesterday and started stringing but did not finish, leaving everything on my special bead tray on the dinner table.

This morning I realized that the cats must have jumped on the table - everything is on the floor, in disarray.

Now I am berating myself for stupidly leaving the design on the table, without thinking of the danger that comes from having cats.

I was urged toward research since I was in fifth grade in school ... Pulled out of regular classes at that point, in fact. Always as library research as a course from then through senior yr hi school. Were OCD tendencies showing, & they developed that? Or was it the late 50s & we were in the Space Race, I was a decent student, so they pushed me that way?

It's the old nurture/nature thing. We'll never know ... but yes, I can be fascinated by something ad infinitum. I'll stay up all night tracking down something on the internet. Everything in this whole d@¥n cosmos fascinates me, to some degree. I've never been bored in my life.

Yep.....I experience those too. So does my 24-year-old son, who's also BP. When he was a kid, I used to really worry about that; it never occurred to me that I did the same thing. Then again, I was totally myopic about all this until I was diagnosed last winter, so what did I know?

So true. Looooove the internet that way.
And having to wait for the library to be open so as to clear all the books off the shelf pertaining to the interest du jour...

(Got that chicken in. Mainly 'cause I was hungry. Still, good to get it done.)

Had another manic weekend. Starting on new medication but little symptom relief. Lamictal 25 mg for 2 weeks, then 50, the 100. Risperdal 1 mg. I need something MORE and FASTER. I drank yesterday to slow things down in my mind. There goes 6 months sobriety. Pdoc just doesn't seem to get it. What am I suppose to do until meds kick in? I started trying to do yoga and meditating to help quiet the mind. Some relief I suppose. Better than nothing.

Today I really hate my job. I know I should be grateful that I even have a job. Would have loved to have today and Christmas off. I get so crazy at work...lots of pressures from management to other staff.

Tired, but lurking. Not nervous even though I should be. My son seem to slowly grow a hard knot in his neck. So we're @ the children's hospital for Xmas.
