Intermittent fasting now. We're not celebrating Thanksgiving. I baked my OH pumpkin pie yesterday. It makes 2 pies from the canned pumpkin. I tried 1 piece yesterday. It's delicious but I'd much rather have chocolate, etc. My OH loves pies. The pastry turns me off too. Cuz that crap is so calorific. Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone here!

I really dig them. Listen to "dance away" by Roxy music. One of my faves.
I need a greatest hits compilation by Ferry and Roxy music

Happy Thanksgiving to those in the U.S.

I did a small Thanksgiving lunch, honey ham on rolls. Not up to cooking much for 3. Stomach is still wonky from yesterday, and I've messed up some dosing of my mood stabilizer (lamotrigine). I filled my medicine box and had to switch bottles; they make that pill every which way - large white tablets, blue pentagons, pink/peach oval capsules. None of the versions look alike & my pharmacy seems to be toying with using different manufacturers, and if I have to get it mail order, it's another manufacturer. The missed doses have made me somewhat manciky, but I'll be OK. I slept 9.5 hr. last night. No running today, feel guilty about that, but my stomach still doesn't feel the greatest, so a break isn't going to kill me.

I am thankful most of the time for not dying from the perforated ulcer I had on Valentine's Day. Post-op, I really wished I had died because of the pain. Even now, sometimes I question if I was supposed to make it and if so, to what purpose? It caused me to lose over 10 lb. in the hospital and woke up the ED.

I am grateful I healed enough (and relatively quickly) from the surgery to walk, run, jog, vacuum (that was surprisingly very hard to do with that scar healing), carry cases of water bottles again.

I am thankful for my family, for a husband who is still there despite all my MI problems though sometimes I worry my issues will drive him away. I'm grateful to have a smart, healthy daughter and 2 sisters I count as friends and the rest of my family even if there may be strained relationships at times.

I'm grateful I got a lot of sleep last night as sleep curbs manic intentions.

Dance Away is my all time favorite! I'm listening to it as I type. Great song.

I think gratitude keeps us healthy. I'm so glad you did not die from the ulcer. That's wonderful you have a devoted husband.

Glad Thanksgiving is just about over?

Anyone going Black Friday shopping? Not me. First, we have no money. Two, it just sings to the overspending manic part of my bipolar.

I have to go to a grocery store tomorrow but only because I use the pharmacy inside. I will just stick with the drive-thru. Not too much to be tempted to buy at the grocery store, but they usually do have some seasonal things.

Seriously glad too, that Thanksgiving is over. I am so sick of food. My OH is a huge eater. I'm constantly cooking giant dinners for him. I really hate it. I swear that I hate food because of it. My eating habits are crazy! I will only eat cold leftovers is one thing I do. I won't warm up food for myself. it doesn't even make any sense to me! Does anyone else here, do this?

I need to get a serious grip on my coffee intake. It's making me completely on edge & almost paranoid, worrying. I will not drink Decaf. I think it has a gross minty taste...

Today i had to step on the scale in front of my wife to weigh our dog at home. I called the vet for medicine, and they asked for an updated weight. I put the scale so the numbers were upside down to her, and i dont know if she looked or cared. I felt stupid to care myself when the dog was more important.

I am just drinking water. Cut way back on coffee. Ate a full meal with pumpkin pie for dessert. I still feel like garbage. I'm laying down, now. I'm gonna try taking a nap. Have not felt well for a couple days, now.

Not shopping offline or online for Black Friday this year. No money. I also refuse to go out on Black Friday--too many people out there and acting insanely, too.

I hope you will feel better. I had cranberry sauce along with the meal and my blood sugar went up really high. It came back down nicely though with some apple cider vinegar water.
