I hear you on the manic part, I think it's probably the hardest thing to deal with because it can feel good sometimes and other times it's like you don't feel comfortable in your own skin no matter what you do.
Hope things go well with the job hunting. While we were out yesterday Jack was saying I ought to go back to work and get a desk job somewhere in the city. I personally don't think it would work out to be worth it since we'd have to pay for health insurance and I don't see us being able to cover everything on what I could conceiveably make in the workplace.
