Up, Up and Away

This work week has been fantabulous, if work can be so. I have had awesome patients, had the time to take care of them, had fun with co-workers, and had some down time, which is nice when you have done 4 nightshifts, and are hoping to do another. If I work tonight I will probably have my same patients back which will make it easier, and it will all be over time. Now watch, I won't get called in - because I want to work. Thats the way it always happens.

I think its just the timing in my cycle, but everything feels good right now. Oh, wait...... I think it might be referred to as................ lets see, a manic phase. Hate that word. But it is what it is. Everything feels good, and so IS good. Life just feels great right now. The air is chilled outside. We seem to have enough money lately. Kids are happy. Tyler has been around more. Life just feels good.

Its really weird, but this is probably the first "up" I have recognized for what it is. I have been off my medicine for just about a month now. Its nice to have ME back. I was reading this old post from March of last year:

I was reading where I said:
"I'm learning that I should just embrace everything - the good and the bad, because there is always a yin and a yang, it always equals out. Right before my period, like right before it starts, I have a day where I have almost a euphoria. Everything is deeper, more beautiful, sadder, sweeter. I cry more, everything taste better, I love deeper, I laugh harder. Everything is enhanced. Thats where I am today."

I just didn't know what it was. Its so classically manic. But I didn't even know. Thats where I am today again.

Updated Facebook. Arranged two friend dates: Going to dinner with Sarah and Lisa on November 1st, and actually going to lunch with Jill Lewis this Tuesday the 27th. Saw her at Alumni, it was really nice. So I'm looking forward to that.

Am I rambling? I think maybe so. Combination of sleep-deprivation and mania.

Ahhhhh ...... the joys.
