Goodnight, Diane.
Today was a major flop. We cleaned out the fridge, but that is just about all I did in the apartment.
The rest of my day: Cleaned out the fridge with DH Helped DH clean up the broken glass and food from the pickle jar he dropped Made lunch with DH Put pasta salad away after eating some Took the car to the shop Took the boys bowling - this is the thing that kept me from getting much done. Went to pick up the car from the shop Waited while they re-fixed my car for the second time when they realized it still wasn't fixed properly Took car home Spent about 15 minutes on the computer Put dessert in slow cooker Spent another 10 mintues on the computer - I really should have done something productive with this time. Made dinner around the mess of dishes I never was able to wash Ate dinner - it was pretty good Ate dessert - it was the butt-kickingest dessert I've ever made. Played with the boys Got the boys ready for bed
So, it was a good day, just not a very productive one. Also, I think I may be moving into hypomania. I'm going to hold off on taking my prn med, because it sedates the heck out of me, but it may be finding its way into my pillbox soon.
Next up: Aftercare Get ready for bed Hit the hay
Goodnight, everyone!

Dusty sorry about your BIL
Pamela bowling w your boys way more important than a household chore. Glad u had some fun
My haircut person was running a half hour behind! So left there a little later than planned. Came home and made us a quick dinner
Then I dropped dd off at a friends house. While she was thereI did a little shopping. Looking for some shoes for the office but I may have missed the window /it was all sandals !
Also went to the posh grocery to get dome supplies that I can't get at the discount grocers
Then it was time to pick up dd
We came home. I did the dinner dishes. Cleaned the litter
Watched some DVDs Now just ready to call it a night

I may have missed the window /it was all sandals ! Magda, I find this so frustrating--I've been looking for a light, unlined windbreaker for over a year now and each time I think it's light windbreaker weather the stores don't agree with me. Pamela, I can't believe how much car trouble you're having lately! I hope it's fixed for good now. I woke up my usual early time and happily turned over and went back to sleep since I COULD. I do early walks with a different dog on Monday and Thursday this week, but today it felt good to be able to wake up in a leisurely way. When I turned my computer on there was an email from my relief walker with final schedule details, so I updated those--and now I know my main schedule all the way up until May 13th, which is unusual. Of course, I will get a few additional walks during this time but the bulk of it is set. And the last week in April and first in May will be very challenging, that's when my relief walker is out of town. Eat breakfast Scoop litter pans Pigeon care Make bed Diane

I'm definitely going to pay for the fun today. I know it's important to have bonding experiences with my kids. I have too few, tbh. It's just, I cooked two meals yesterday. DH cooked breakfast. That's six pans. Plus, we cleaned out the fridge. That made two storage containers and a baking dish. That's two loads right there, easily. I haven't had to wash two loads of dishes in weeks. The car trouble this time was caused by the incompetence of the mechanic who replaced my power steering pump. He installed it wrong. Then, he fixed it wrong again. They discovered that my evap solenoid is bad. I told them I would have to wait; actually, I was going to take it somewhere else. In anticipation of my need, they went ahead and ordered the part. So, now I have to go to them. I'm not going there for my muffler, though. They'd probably rig it with a wire hanger or something. Done: Aftercare Showered Dressed Hair brushed Meds Next up: Bath for T Get boys dressed Breakfast for grownups

Pamela, if you told them to wait and they ordered the part anyway, you're not obligated to go back. They can probably return the part. I'll bet they said that on purpose because they knew you were going to go somewhere else. Next: PEEP DR table Refill cat treat jar Refill dry cat food jar Pack up stuff to give to my friend tomorrow Diane

The boys are clean/dressed, and I am fed. Diane, I'm too non-confrontational to just tell them I'm not going back, especially since they appear to be good to me (lending me the owner's car while mine is being repaired). It's just, they seem shady. I just always have something else suddenly wrong that had no prior symptoms when I get something else fixed. I wish I could grow a backbone.
Next up: Unload dw Breakfast/dinner dishes to dw Handwash load Clean off/wipe down surfaces - the table is a wreck! Sweep kitchen

Good morning everypony!
Diane I was actually really "regulated" on the cruise, between having a roommate and all the activities--plus we were on EDT. I thought I would come home and be able to ride that momentum. I was surprised at how quickly that fell apart! In ALL areas--sleep, exercise, eating... I was talking/debriefing about it at a meeting yesterday, and it became clear how important it is to PLAN how to get back into the swing of things, and set up bookends with my accountability partners, etc.
I need to start earning some money, so that means its time to address this (again). Get a job, sha na na na...
Also, I haven't downloaded my pics yet, and will let you know when I start posting them on my blog.
magda I hope you have a beautiful day!
(((@pamela))) you don't have to TELL them you're not going back! just don't go!
DONE: phone call from Action Partner woke me up (forgot our appt AGAIN, cause I DIDN'T do the white board last night) made coffee called her back ID'd today's priorities took meds refilled purse pillbox checked email posted to pony meetup re: pony convention updated profile
NEXT UP: start timesheet make time plan make list

(((Pamela))) I'm conflict avoidant too. But here's a thought: you don't have to TELL them you're not going back! just don't go!I would do that, but they already bought the part, so they'd probably call me. Part of me wishes I had just paid my new mechanic to fix it, but it was under warranty darnit. Kitchen is cleanish. I still have 1-2 loads to wash. Next up: Tidy living room Tidy master room Tidy bathrooms Tidy desk

I'm sure you will get back into the swing of things, scholar. I know it's hard to get there when things have been out of sorts.
Daytime dailies are done. I kept getting sidetracked. First I cleaned the living room. Then I was like, "well, the living room's clean; time to vacuum the rugs." Totally forgot to do the rest of the stuff. Then, after I sorted through that pile on my desk (again), I forgot to put the stuff that goes there back. I just started to reply to this thread. I've got the distractibility, irritability, and sensory overload of hypomania but not much of the energy or euphoria. Maybe I should suck it up and start my prn. Say to heck with functioning in the morning. It's better than not functioning at all, I guess. I'll see how the rest of the day goes.
Next up: Lunch for boyos Pick up rugs Sweep living room Sweep hallway Mop kitchen Mop living room Mop hallway Go outside to play with boys
I'll be gone for a couple hours while the boys and I play outside. I'll be back in the mid-afternoon.

Hoo! It is hot in here. Or maybe it's just because I just did a very active job. The air is not very high, though, so it may well be hot in here. The floor's wet, though, so I'm not going to go all the way to the hall to check.
The boys are currently playing on the computer, building a pizza parlor. I'm going to let them finish the restaurant before going out to play. It won't take long. There's not much I can do with the floors wet, so I'll just browse online.
See you in 90 minutes or so.

Pamela, I hope you enjoy your playtime with the boys--especially since in a couple of years they'll be embarrassed to be seen playing with their mom! I'm home from my mid-day job, it's WARM outside. Luckily it's still comfy in here, I've had lunch and need to get some cleaning done. I go out again at 5:30. Clean up lunch stuff Vacuum entryway Vacuum bathroom Wash cat food dishes Diane

Thanks, Pamela! I hope your mood levels out. I have been uncharacteristically high this spring. I'm usually low, so we (pdoc and I) haven't lowered my antidepressent yet--I'm keeping an eye on my symptoms.
I went back to sleep. I have a rehersal this afternoon, and I'd like to get some more practice in with the timer. Plus take the dreaded shower, and put on makeup (!) for the promo video shoot. Ack. Talk about coming out of my cave. I really want to hide! This is a production "preformed by regular people from the community living with or loving someone with mental health issues."
