Bizi,
Resting is good.
I hope that the rest of your day goes well.

i am in a sad, mad, all over the place place 0 and in the throes of aching nostalgia but i still managed to love the (quite possibly inadvertent) pun in your post, Mari.

the rest = the remainder - 1st reading, no back reference.
the rest = the repose - 2nd reading, back reference to "Resting is good."

never mind, word has it that i am strange. so i am told, yes, indeed.

tonight i was told upside down and around just how strange i am... by a perfect stranger. how perfect is that. i dare not say strange.

Dear Bizi i am sorry i did not leave you at least a couple hugs last night it was like i flew in and flew out like i needed to catch a plane or something.

well as it is i got caught up on the thread. i am glad harriet is home.

i have never been foggy when manic, always feel sharp very although sharp although i do get very forgetful even from one minute to the next - can't concentrate for squat is that what you mean? are your thoughts racing really badly?

mari gives good advice on taking care of yourself, "carefully."

i know jeff can can cook - maybe you guys can agree for him to do more of that until you heal up? for starters he could do his "company's coming chicken" for your guest that is staying. i know houseguests require a lot more attention than dinner but maybe you and jeff can do things together. you can direct the traffic (him) and he can be your arms and legs
-- put fresh towels out, no not that one, the big blue fluffy set
-- check if the room needs anything...

remind him and keep reminding yourself your arm will heal it is all very temporary. what's more, if you are careful, it will heal quicker and with less pain.

don't worry about drinking. it will take the edge off the pain a little too.... sigh.

sending you healing thoughts

Dear Bizi,
Good luck with your weekend and your healing plans. Stay focused on getting well. Put as much work into getting well as you do your other projects --- in other words, REST.

wel harriet is resting in my lap making it almost impossible for me to post.
i slept in...i think the mania is subsiding
i feel more focused.
thank you for your support.
i am off to get my hair colored....and it has been raining.
between my arm, my face(neosporin and band aides and other products) and harriet, it is like a rehab facility, dan doesn't know about all of this....it is mardi gras and i don't feel like celebrating. we pick him up tonight, i will have to move my clothes out of the guest bedroom.
off i go

oh (((bizi)))

maybe it's my impression but you sound like you're crashing... i mean you sound so bummed.

i hope your friend Dan is understanding and kind to you. it might be comforting and nice to have the company, if he is clearly supportive of you. that is my hope for you. celebrations don't have to be wild and physically extenuating. y'all can maybe party a little less crazy this year. (i say that quite oblivious to how 'crazy' you normally get... maybe not that much.)

but i am imagining a fun meal, maybe other invitees - if so, have them bring a dish, do a pot luck. and alkyhol, that will take the edge off things for a while. sometimes when a solution will take time, the occasional bandaid help bear out the wait....

i don't want to encourage in a way maybe i am you did so well not drinking, i just don't want you to beat yourself up about it, if you do it. if you choose not to, well then kudos to you for holding out.

just keep taking care, and getting the rest you need.

Dear Bizi,
I'm so sorry you've have so much going on...
BIZI

I'm glad that Harriet is on the mend.
Please be kind to yourself if you can.
I hope that you are leveling.

Kay

p.s. Please tell me you're not doing ROM on that arm...

yes i am doing pendulum swinging of the arm, very gentle passive circular and back and forth. i don't want my shoulder to freeze up on me.

Bizi,
Keep yourself safe.
