It must have been hard to resist that glass of wine after such a bad day… I'm proud of you!

yah,

Donna

Jeff is away this weekend, vacationing with the 4 musketeers. His colleagues from work.
they rent a condo on the beach in galveston.
Fun for them, I am happy he has friends to go do this with. They have done this for many years now right after graduation ceremonies.
Soooo
that leaves me alone for the weekend.
sigh
I just ate peanut butter on sprouted bread which is chewy and very filling.
I am feeling rather antsy and sleepy at the same time. Took my evening meds as to make sure I am getting the full dose of geodon. I may need to take a nap.
I have to work tomorrow out of town, new iberia.
I am doing 2 loads of laundry so may go to bed early tonight.
Or maybe have a cup of coffee....

I just took a nap and woke when the dryer alarmed, perfect timing.
It was long enough to perk up a bit....she says while yawning, lol

It is way too early to go to bed I would be up at 4am. So I will hold off a couple of hours....
Maybe do some charting. or maybe go to bed then get up early and do charting then which is easier.
I will resist drinking my mikes hard lemonaide that is in the refridgerator. It is equal to 4 beers, think I will dump it out so as not to be a temptation. If it is open then I will drink it all.
I want to stick to 2 beers at a setting and I already had 2 beers last night.

I just fixed some organic spicy noodles am hoping they are good.

edited to add:
hey were just fair but only 200 calories about half of what ramen noodles are usually.

AM tired , think I will go to bed now that it is 10:30pm
nite nite

I know you don't like it when Jeff's gone, but it sounds like you had a nice quiet night. I hope you had a good night's sleep

HI kay! good morning.
I last posted friday night.
Yesterday was a work day for me....and a busy one after that:
I got up early and went out of town to see 5 clients at this assisted living home. It was all very nice and pleasant except for one client who refused and was quite nasty about it.
So I went on to the next one who was as pleasant and talkative as could be. I love my job( minus the occasional refusal that is). So that will put me down to 4 clients there, hoping to pick up another client or two there, nice to se them all in one day with out having to travel around and they pay me on the spot so I don't have to fool around with billing etc.
I go and work there one saturday a month.
After work I was going to go to art walk with my friend susan but she never called me back then when I called her again she said she had to work. sigh
anyway, I ended up going shopping for clothes for our trip at kohls, I had 2 gift cards. So I spent some time trying clothes on and found a pair of capris and a pair of leggings so that puts my pants count up to 4 including the ones that I will be wearing. I also bought about 7 different solid colored tops For the entire trip I will be wearing bright neon colored running shoes, I don't think I will have any room to bring other shoes so that is it. I will definitely look like a tourist! I saved a bunch of money because their clothes are always on sale and they gave me a 15% discount which was nice. They also gave me $10 coupon to spend in a couple of weeks and I have some $ left on a gift card so I will go back that day to redeem the coupon. After kohls, I went to target and impulsively bought a new rain coat, big and bulky, it would have taken up a lot of space in my suit case. So talked with a girlfriend and she suggested that I just get those disposable little ones for a $1 and buy 4 of them and carry one with me in my fanny pack. So I took the coat back got my refund. After which I went to chipoltle for dinner which was quite good pulled pork bowl with black beans and corn and sauteed onions and peppers, sour cream and cheese. Yummy! I try not to eat shredded lettuce at restaurants due to the high percentage of food contamination associated with eating shredded lettuce.
After dinner I went to academy sporting goods store to buy a new fanny pack, a bigger one and was some what happy with their choices, either black or brown or floral. I picked the floral one.
I went back to target to use gift card and bought some groceries.
and went home to put them away. Then lastly I went to walmart and bought a toiletry bag to hold my personal stuff, with little 3 oz containers for shampoo etc. even a 3 ounce tube of tooth past and foldable tooth brush.
I came home and packed my bag and filled all of the bottles and packed most of my emergency meds( allergy pills, antibiotics in case I get a sinus infection, zyprexa if I get manic), small first aid kit, some supplements for GI health/regularity.
Anyway, it was a very productive day and I feel much better getting all of that sorted out/organized. I made a list of the things I needed to do and buy which is manageable. I went to bed at 11:30 and slept pretty good.

Yesterday was definintely a 4/5 day. But I got a lot done with jeff gone and the freedom to do what I wanted to do.
I am going to work on my list today, not sure when jeff gets home this evening. I think that I will make a pasta dish. Have not had pasta (I give up on dieting)in forever. I bought some grass fed beef at target yesterday...I have not been buying beef for a while now because it is not good for us and beef is the highest user in the carbon foot print ethically speaking, if that makes sense. Uses lots of resources to grow one cow.

Having a third cup of coffee and still in my jammies, will get the paper and read some of that. Sallys beauty store opens up at noon. I need more little bottles of polish, i give one per client, don't believe in sharing. They only have so many of the colors that I like. (I don't use all of the rage ones: blues, greens, black or sparkly) I buy a beauty club card that saves me money on each item and they sent me a 20% off coupon which is perfect timing.
Anyway.
Have a nice sunday!

Bizi,

You are well on your way!

Walmart is a good way to get what you need.

Check with the person who did your tours about any rules about what you
allowed through security arriving into Italy and France.

There is a chance that they are slightly different from U.S. laws.

I remember reserachign for a friend that England (or was it Ireland) did not allow pornography. (Stuff that you probably do not have, but it it does not hurt to check).

What a busy day!!! I'm impressed at how much you got done!!!

I've had productive missions like that when I've been hypo and when I haven't been. Sometimes going on these missions can be activating…

I'm glad you got so much done. You have a very good reason to be excited, and plenty of reason to start making preparations, but you need to start watching the 4's and especially any 5. You don't need to cross everything off your list right now…

Can you try to slow down for a couple of days to see if your elevated mood is due to excitement/prep or an episode?

I guess my numbers are related to my activity levels., not necessarily my mood per say. Does that make sense?

I had 3 pints of beer last night with jeff home and ate at the whole foods salad bar: curried chicken salad, asparagus and portabella mushrooms salad. yummy and then a piece of chantilly cake which is my favorite cake!
jeff brought me home some really delicioius dark chocolate mint truffles from galeveston and coered espreso beans, they are just heavenly.

We will have the pasta for dinner tonight.
after the beers i could not sleep so at one I got up and took another klonipin which allowed me to get to sleep I slept 7 hours and felt drugged. need to keep my drinking to 2 pints.
I accidently posted my drinking stats for the week along with my sleep hours and moods on facebook yesterday....sigh
I belong to a private closed group called Hams for drinking moderation. andthought I was posting there.oops.
oh well, at least my numbers were good!
now everyone knows it is an issue with me.
sigh

Bizi,

account.

I realize some people have already read the post on Face Book and you can't unring the bell, but can you delete the post anyway?
