I can say with 100% certainty that I'm not hypomanic. I think I was so active because having my license back is new to me and I was excited to get out. I need to better manage housework and running errands while keeping my limitations in mind. I think my desire to buy things stems from the fact that when I get out of the house most of the places I go are stores. I've managed to restrain myself aside from the jeans I bought, but those were really needed.

I did go to the club yesterday. I was off, and it didn't go unnoticed. I don't remember the last time I was like that around people other than my husband or doctors. There was no inquisition, but I noticed I was getting more guidance. I usually work in the kitchen, but the director decided I should be oriented to the business unit. I think I'll ultimately end up in the kitchen because that's where I'm comfortable though.
I had lunch (a beautiful salad) and went on my way. I only stayed for about 2 hours. I didn't socialize much. I may go again later in the week so I stay in the habit of going.

I didn't find yesterday morning's therapy session very therapeutic. My tdoc was running behind, was disheveled and frustrating. I felt rushed so I was not exactly in the sharing mood. I felt like I was just giving her Cliff Notes. She's very nice, but I'm not in a hurry to go back. I said I would make appointments on an "as needed" basis.

We were at the bottom of the last candle I made. So when I got home from the club, I used up the last 4 lbs of wax I had and made 3 more candles. I had to combine 2 different kinds of wax and was unsure how that would work out, but they turned out great even though they required topping off. I tried to make them purple by mixing pink and blue dye, but I just ended up with a new shade of pink. They should last us a while.

I got an email from my auto insurance company yesterday with our direct withdrawal schedule and was absolutely horrified. They snuck in a roughly $620 payment for next month!!! Then our payments go back down to about $155. I still haven't received anything in my mailbox about it, and I have nothing to explain how/why they break down the payments this way. I'm going to call my insurance agent to see if there's any way to spread that payment out, but I doubt I'll get anywhere. This saga is ****ing never ending!!!

I had to tell my husband, and of course he ****ing flipped out. We are struggling financially (it's not just the DUI) and this is the last thing we need. We are continuing to eat into savings. I feel terrible. This is just going to continue to haunt us.

I'm staying inside today. The temperature is going to exceed 90 degrees and it's just too hot for me to go out. It's supposed to be in the high 80s Thursday and Friday, then back over 90 again on Saturday before it cools off Monday.
