Running too far ahead of myself today...

[WitchyOoman]

I got up too early. So I went to Mass this morning. I still had time to go out to breakfast as usual, and to accomplish my morning errands.

Now it's almost lunchtime, and I've gotten nearly half of my afternoon tasks finished already... What'm'I gonna do???

We have supper plans out with friends, so I can't cook. If I lie down, it's all over - I'll fall back asleep.

What am I going to do?! I feel kinda like I'm on speed... (<span style="font-style: italic">not that I would know about that, right, of course</span>) I'm all off-kilter; I'm flying in a different time zone than the rest of the world; i'm moving in a different plane or something.

I must not be well.

I'm like a clock that's wound too tightly.

Or a coil that's too tightly coiled.

Everything is moving too slowly for me today.

I wonder if I can manage to drag the Christmas tree up from the cellar and put it up all alone, all by myself? .....
Or will I kill myself trying it? .....


Will my damaged spine hold out enough for me to get the tree upstairs, set up, and decorated?
I have all of this excess energy today and it's all gotta get spent.

I'm gonna try it.

God looks out for little children and fools... so if I'm being foolish by risking my spine, maybe God will help me out. Maybe He'll prevent me from falling down the staircase and breaking my neck while hauling up the Christmas tree in it's box.

Witchy, relax nuh! If things get done they get done. If not, the world will continue to turn juss di same whey.

I start my Christmas vacation today. Plans for today include going for a walk, stopping at my bank to look after a little business and then laying on the couch with nachos and beer and watching football.

After all that I will take a undeserved nap.

No, Milo. It's much worse than that. I think my doctor shouldn't have switched my meds around last week again. sigh
He decreased my mood-stabilizing meds and increased my anti-depressants: I'm going manic. Don't forget I'm bipolar. I've texted him five times already, but he hasn't texted me back yet. He'd better hurry up and text me soon.

I hauled up the Christmas tree from the cellar alone... an act or which I will surely pay for later when the pain sets in. When I'm manic, I have temporary super-human strength, but my body pays for it later when I'll hurt like hell. I've decorated the tree, too. I've hung the stockings and the wreaths.

I have yet to wrap the presents - that's next.

And I'm starving. I've already eaten two breakfasts and two lunches... and I'm considering eating a third lunch. Binge eating is another sign of going manic.

I can cook tomorrow's supper this afternoon... and not need to cook tomorrow.

And I can wash my car and my truck, just for the heck of it... it's something to do. I need to do something! It's 60 degrees Fahrenheit out today.

Maybe I should take Rufus for a run in the park?

Re: Running too far ahead of myself today...

I put up the tree by myself, and decorated it by myself, too. And I decorated the rest of the house -- inside and out. I have all of my baking done, and I'm not cooking a big supper - it's just Mr Witchy and me for Christmas supper. Wild boar (hunted last month by an old hunting buddy of mine).

No presents this year. Mr Witchy and I decided not to buy presents this year, given our financial situation.

I'm still running too fast, still manic. sigh It's gonna be one ugly burnout when I do burn out. sigh I hate this.

Re: Running too far ahead of myself today...

I can't stop now, I'm too busy. I'm on a roll. I'm too busy to stop and listen to music - that's nonsense. I have to <span style="font-style: italic">DO</span> something before I jump right out of my skin. I can clean the attic right now, I have that kind of energy.
