bipolar366Cycle: mixed state
Mood: depressed
Created: YA horror
Still feeling very negative about life, and still really sick, but I've been taking OTC cold meds and sleeping a lot, and I can tell that is helping. Today I had a long phone call with one of my BFFs, despite my hatred of the phone and lack of voice, and a few nice text exchanges with others, and managed to write a good chunk of February's project, which is a (different) YA horror novel. I hope to finish the first draft by the end of the month, but it may be longer than I am anticipating, so we'll see.
No movement on the career front, but I have a plan b and now a plan c in place, with a plan d floating out there, so we'll see how it goes.
The weather was warm enough today that I left the outside door to my personal studio open for the dog, and she enjoyed running in and out at whim. We both liked the sun and warm air. I really need to live someplace that doesn't have winter. I wish.
Last night, I was shitty with Partner. We're both super stressed right now, and I made things worse by snapping. I had that under control when I was medicated, but not so much since I've been off the bipolar meds. I really need to figure out a new way to handle it. Tears at random times, whatever, I can't stop those, Partner will just have to deal, but I can work to be kinder.
Found out my sister is moving back to our hometown at least for awhile. I love her and her husband, and love spending time with them, so that is a plus, even if it is stressful for everyone, too. At least I can be useful and help them find a place to live locally. Partner's house is full, and we're allergic to cats, otherwise I'd offer space here to them.
