Dear Abbie
yes, this is the bright side of bipolar as long as it's a "clean" mania and the ride doesn't get too wild... you sound like you have taken some precautions to stay safe. that's good, and good that mom is helping!
what can i say... lol... ENJOY!!!
it makes me smile to hear you happy too.
i hope you are able to rest. get pdoc to step up to the plate to help you if that is a problem.
((( gentle hugs )))
