@Ru-bee hi there i am going ok thanks hope you are too

Hi @Spiritmission6 glad you’re doing ok today. I’m ok except I’m very tired as only slept for 4 hours last night despite taking extra meds. This hypomania is driving me nuts.

@GezzaP

Well done to you for getting to your appointments! Did they go okay? I'm not surprised that you're exhausted after walking for an hour! That's a long walk to me! I am relatively healthy but lack motivation to walk. The support and encouragement I get on here helps. I haven't been very good at looking after myself in the past.

Do you usually have trouble sleeping? I hope you get more sleep tonight! I'm on medication to sleep. I've been on it for years but haven't gone up in dosage. I have to get out of bed as soon as I wake up, around 6.30 I hope you enjoyed your drink and cheesy pasta! I had good old spaghetti bolognaise. 🙃

@heartathome Appts were fine thanks. Generally I sleep a lot, but I’m hypomanic so not sleeping well. I take sleep meds too. Hoping I’ll be physically tired from my long walk and sleep better tonight. Will still take meds of course. Will go to bed soon as I’m exhausted. Will have warm milk with my meds. Got out a dull book to read if I wake up to go to the loo and can’t go back to sleep. In fact I think I’ll start getting ready for bed now I’m so tired.

Thank you for accepting me into this group

Appts were fine @heartathome psychologist was fine. Needed

new glasses and have to have cataract removed from left eye in about 6 months.
slept badly again last night very tired.
waiting for cleaner to show up. If I can muster the energy I will garden while they’re in the house or maybe just read a gardening magazine.

Oh, I'm sorry you're not sleeping well @GezzaP ! Can you rest? I've heard that having cataracts removed is like getting new vision again. I haven't had one done yet but have asked a lot of questions about the needle in the eye! Apparently, it doesn't hurt at all! I'm about two years away from getting mine done. It sounds like you really enjoy gardening. I mean, you've got a gardening magazine! 😀

Hi @Spiritmission6 How's your day been?

I had a ten minute nap after lunch @heartathome Have a subscription to Organic Gardener magazine. But it ran out have to renew it.

Not sleeping properly is annoying. But went for a walk and did some chores. Cooked a lamb rack and veggie roast for lunch.

Got a cleaner here doing a Spring clean. Kitchen is a terrible job because it’s tiny.

Puss cat ran away when I stood up to let her out.

Do you grow anything @GezzaP ? Having a subscription means you really like gardening, to me! Sounds like you made the most out of being awake! A baked dinner as well! That's impressive. Has the cat come back yet? What's it like and what's its name if you want to share that. I love animals! I used to volunteer with a no k*** animal shelter. 🙃

I grow all sorts of things @heartathome . Veggies, fruit, flowers, shrubs, cacti and succulents. I have a big garden. There are some big trees too including a couple of palm trees. I do like to garden can’t do too much now my back hurts too much. I have someone come in and do the garden and cleaning. He is cheap. He does all the hard work. I do the little jobs in the garden.
I got lots done today, but wish I could have slept more.
