Our old bed has finally went to bed heaven. A new one was $1,100. BF has a bad back so we have to get a good one.
Like Roseanne Roseannadanna once said "if it's not one thing, it's another".
The furnace is making a funny noise too
When will it end?

My day was ok overall. I woke up early watched a little tv then went back to bed. Later I got out the house and ran some errands. It's been raining for two days. I planned on staying in for Xmas but I was dragged out the house and actually had a decent time. My mood has been pretty ok. I had a moment today but it passed

I feel OK. Just got back from 4 days with my relatives. Got in 1 fight. I went to my room to be alone which of course they hated. They can't fight with me when they are alone. Ha ha!

Today I am remembering that my symptoms of obsessive paranoid thought are not based on reality. I took my prn and am trying to make choices that have positive consequences.

Feeling kind of overwhelmed and, well, scatter brained. I kind of feel like coming undone. I'm tired of trying to keep it together. Feel like bearing my heart to my bf, but I won't. I'm terrified he'd leave me. I just wish I had one person in my life I could tell how I really feel Bipolar daily check-in thread # 10

Arrrrgh! I did it again, I lost about 30 bucks worth of phone minutes!

The prepaid phone minutes expires after a year I refill it with minutes, it was marked on a calender on the phone but I don't see it like every week. I use my head for remembering scheduled appointments and such!

This annoys me a little, it'd be nice if they could notify me when the expiration date were getting closer, the lost money could've saved this little stray kitten I saw last night for the first time. I didn't see it's parents, I could keep feeding these two cats at work though, 'cos I got free food for them there, but here at home, it is an apartment complex with no pets allowed, plenty of people live here, it's cold outside, I really didn't wanna see that and worried about that kitten..

So back to the cell phone, I'm not gonna refill it. I tell you, I believe this is the third time at least that I lost the minutes like this. The last time, the automatic message got the calender wrong, called a customer service but they were no help. The phone takes calls till March, I just can't make one unless I refill it. I'll go as long as I can without initiating a phone call, so next time I refill it will be not on busy December.

The work cats, yes, now it's plural, I think I been feeding a young Tabby, Tiger Tabby? Not sure how to describe the coat, and an old lady with a chopped tail, we see a lot of them, aren't we? Are they just klutz? This one has lighter fur, light brown and white, spotted tabby, I maybe mistaken here describing what she looks like here though.. I haven't named either of them, they can't get attached to me.

I first started feeding the tiger one, I feed as much as I could manage with anticipation that they come around to see me, I look for them all the time now. I'm human, I can manage my own feelings, and he seems to be busy. He comes around for breakfast, lunch and dinner, it is unpredictable.

One night, after he ate what I fed and had a full stomach, he was licking his lips with satisfied look, and right before that while he was eating, he kept looking at me from his lower positioning, "Why are you feeding me so, Mr?". I had to look away, he cannot get attached to me like that, I didn't walk away, so I stayed and we got to talking about his job.

He tells me that he works in a medical field, he goes to work in the wee hour of the morning when nobody else was around, gets into this futuristic machinery and sits on the cockpit. He does this papurr checklist 'cos mistakes are not taken lightly in his workplace, then he rests two rear paws on the pedals, two other paws still holding his morning mug of coffee. He uses them to press rows of buttons right in front of him, he saids he sometimes needs to use his tail for that too. He also tells me that he had been working there as long as he remembers, workers like him are everywhere in the hospitals, and some cats he's known had fallen for cancer because of the radiation. When I asked him more about his job, he just said "Meow, that's too technical to explain."

He kept talking to me though, about his meowism. He saids that it is important to live in a mewment and keep a paw-sitive cat-titude at any given time, so when he has to operate a new machine with new buttons and switches to flip, he doesn't say "You have cat to be kitten me!" or "This brain image is freakin' mewot!" Instead, he tells himself he doesn't have to be purr-fect the first time, just be meowself. No emeowtion. The purr-severance pays off in the end. You cat to purr-sist to maintain a purr-pose in spite of difficulty, obstacles, or discouragement. Keep paw-sitive and hold on to that feline.

Well, after his glowing eyes were done talking, I summarized his message as:

'You are given this life because you are strong enough to live it.'

Nobody ever handed him **** in life, he maybe paw-r but he enjoys his life.

Live long and pawspurr! (Imagine Spock and a kitten here and smile )

This has been the calmest I have felt in a while. I'm not depressed but not hypomanic either. It actually feels good.

Went into work on my day off to get a ton of stuff done. Still not done, I have to go in tomorrow. I really can't read myself lately. I feel down as far as energy and mood, but at times I feel jittery inside. My husband just had the flu for a week, so maybe I'm fighting it off and it's affecting everything. I'll see how it goes.

I'm not feeling very well but no depression or anxiety. It's mainly physical. Im afraid that my morning coffee is making me sick. I'm going to have to try not having it and see how I feel the only thing is that it's so cold and I use my coffee to warm me up.

Last night I could barely get to sleep. I paced my kitchen like a madwoman. Today I feel sad and teary eyed. Overwhelmed. I need a hug.

Got everything done at work, no more obsessing. Went and saw the movie Sisters, hilarious. The ice shower from yesterday is melting, it's a slushy dirty mess. Husband is going to work tomorrow, so I'm gonna push myself to get this messy house in order.

Hit a moment of anxiety today, but managed to work out of it. I'll try the music program tomorrow and see if I can get through the next exercise. It's been helpful so far.

i spent the majority of yesterday evening listening to sia's new album

not sure what it is about sia's music... it's really relatable

later i got in to a conversation with a friend of mine online about life and death (which was fairly triggering), we were talking about celebrities who had died, those that were going too, and when it might be our turn

another night awake trying to read my book (i swear my reading's get worse, i really can't focus)

now just listening to jewel. raining outside and i hear we're getting a storm (if it will hit us, i'm not sure. but the UK is getting one)

thinking about binging on potato chips
Thanks for this!

Still hypo-manic here. Thankfully as work is much easier this way. I am going to see my pdoc today. Probably just going to up my dosages again.

There ya go!

As for checking in, I've been enjoying the last few days of break before the school year gets back into full swing. Sometimes I'm bored, but then I remember how swamped I'll be when classes are in session, so I appreciate the quiet time.
Thanks for this!
