I'm feeling better today .  I fell asleep about 5:30 this morning and slept for 7 hours!  I haven't slept 10 hours combined since about Tuesday.  So this was good.

<p>I got out of the house for the first time since Thursday.  I worked in the yard, went out for a sandwich and now I'm at the coffee shop trying to get a handle on everything that has stacked up this week.  (Man, I'm in the soup here!)

 

 Read through two chapters of The Bipolar Handbook over that sandwich earlier and I think this book will really help me.  I can readily identify with most of what I read and the book has some very practical advice.  Good thing I just bought a fresh set of highlighters!  The book also touched on some struggles I've had in the past but didn't know they were related to Bipolar Disorder.  I'll have to re-visit these another day though, I'm just trying to get a workable plan together for the days ahead. 

 Anyway, I'm going to try and just get things organized this evening because they are a mess.  Got to take various notebooks and software and list keepers that I have haphazardly tossed things into and try to get it all distilled into a single planner.  Then I can start fresh tomorrow with a clear vision what I need this week to be and what I can to do to make it happen.

 I have to be in the office most next week and then will be working at home again thereafter.  Not sure if that is going to help matters or not.
