Doing okay. My dad and I put together a bench swing for my front yard. Now
I'm sitting here with my kitties on either side of me. Went to a support group meeting yesterday. I'm gonna try to make it a weekly habit as it seems to help some.
Mood is pretty okay. I'm Still a bit physically tired but mostly feeling okay.
I fear I am wasting the day by not doing 10,000 things while I still feel able to function, but it is a lazy day and I am trying to just relax, read, wrote, etc.
tomorrow my sister and parents and I are going to a painting night where you drink wine and get instructed on how to make a painting. It should be fun. Then Sunday is Easter at my relatives house. Have a good day all. Sending out good thoughts to all.

I fear working the night shift will be the death of my stability. I tried it before and it didn't work out. here I am trying it again because in some ways it fits into the schedule of my life
doing it this time since December. Today is the first day I really feel it may bring me down. It could be I only got 3 hours sleep but blah. feel overwhelmed. hopefully a good night sleep tonight will cure what ails me

Had a great good Friday. Went home with my parents, walked to the beach and went for a swim. It was revitalising and lifted my mood. Not that it needed lifting. I felt great all day. Now I am up after 5 hours sleep and feel good. Looking forward to another awesome day. It is nearly 5 am and I am bored, can't wait for the day to begin.

Just a crap day. My mood is all over the place. From hypersexuality, to down in the dumps. I have no passion for anything. I can't even write. This is crippling.

Spent most of the day in bed with a headache. Not sure if it is sinus or not. We're just starting to have a lot of pollen, so we'll see. I did get one batch of photos edited and uploaded to Flickr. I'll do the other batch tomorrow.

Had a simple dinner. Now waiting to go to church for Good Friday service.

Mood was down but I wasn't feeling well anyway.

Had a pretty good day. Got a lot done at work, so that was good. Then our boss let us go home early because of Good Friday. That was great.

Had dinner and played games with my family. Watched a show with them, and now we're chilling out. It's been good. Looking forward to a good night's sleep, and taking my son to a shooting club tomorrow.

I just took a late nap. I was just so tired. I even put my pjs on. I need to take a shower though. I can do that in the morning. Don't know what to eat for dinner. Didn't go to the store today. The cupboard is bare. But I had lunch with my youngest and four other friends. Yay! We do that every Friday. And so far, being at 5 mg of Zyprexa is going along without a hitch.

Great day so far. Went for a swim and it was rough and choppy. Loved battling the waves and burning off some energy and calories. Hung out with my Mum which was lovely. Now back in hospital supposed to be studying. So much more I would rather be doing. Procrastinating on here.

quoting next to normal, "I am riding on the britest buzz"

for the last 3 days, it's been great.

on thursday I made myself a pirate skull and crossbones flag, a treasure chest, and a shoulder parot (and a pirate hat)

on friday I spent the day dressed up as a pirate, and insisted people call me davy jones (seeing as my name is emily, that was weird to sa lot of people!)

today, I am wearing my kangaroo costume.

it is kangaroo day and I am listening again and again to tie me kangaroo down sport by rolf harris, and any other kangaroo themed songs I can find

(of course, for dinner, it would be nice to have kangaroo burgers), but seeing as I don't have any in, it's going to be kiev

Still having a tough time, yet stimulant helping. Caught up on banking, bringing accounts up-to-date. Whew!

"Early" Easter dinner with in-laws this evening. Easter dinner at brother's tomorrow. Am looking forward to both events.

"Happy Easter" to anyone celebrating Easter.

Love and Healing to All!

Getting ready to go out to pick up my daughter's friend then drop off my son at church for play rehearsal- actually its a musical that he's part of a quartet. Then a little later back to church for another service. Tomorrow morning call time is 7 a.m. YUCK!

Up at 6, made myself a pot of coffee and did some painting. Now I'm making cinnamon rolls for the family.

Normal day ahead.

In the Up Early Club today...

Life has been very stressful and frustrating. I can feel the meds keeping me from where I'd otherwise be. Which is a good thing because I'd be a hot mess in unshielded reality. I have to watch the frustration factor because rage simmers under the surface.

Two important call backs never came this week. Trying not to read into that, but it's hard. One of them was checking in to verify things are straightened out after a (no) coverage scare. So I really don't know.

Add it to the Everything Is Terrifying Right Now list...

this is when my head starts spinning and the solid ground under my feet feels shaky. That's stress for you I guess
