Good morning @SmilingGecko . I woke up early again but went back to sleep. Had quality sleep. Feeling much better and more tranquil. Going to walk up shop later
If not raining. More showers forecast today. Headache is okayish. Cold here this morning. Have a good day.

Thats good @GezzaP I've just been doing my morning routine. Love chi in my body! I learnt a new Taoist exercise - I open the gate of life near my kidney area and do a specific practice to boost chi and nourish the blood. I feel warm, content and emotionally balanced. I feel in control of my life. More chi = more equilibrium and happiness. Have also been doing a new sound healing from the Maitreya system to take my power back. I notice I'm energetically fortified for want of a better word and have a greater feeling of being intact. None of my energy feels as if its been dispersed anymore across aeons of time! lol I'm just about to flush my meridians then get the day going. Wishing you a good day!

I walked to shop, chemist and posted an entry in a lottery. I won $10,000 one year.
Read and filled in admission form (need a witness for the form, will ask neighbour) for eye surgery. Can’t eat after 9am and not
supposed to smoke on the day of surgery. Think I’ll struggle with both of those requirements.
Now I’ve got to update several payments because I had to cancel my credit card last week. Then I can take it easy. If it’s not raining might walk to a cafe or the pub even though walking hurts my back i know it’e good for my back.
Enjoy your extra energy.

@TAB hey tabby, thanks for batgirlcycle. Rode it to the markets. It was crowded there. Had some food at market shops. It was quite good. It was two church friends whom haven't seen for a while. It was nice. Did shopping for bathroom items and meds this morning and still need to sort them out. Friend's son last night gave me a present for mothers day ha. Still sitting there as well. Friend gave me two pot plants from her garden last night as well. Sitting on the kitchen table in the sun
Hope you're okay

It is about 18 degrees and overcast. Was sunny this morning when I was watering and went for my first walk here in Adelaide @PeppyPatti . Watching footy. Thinking of going for third short walk later. Left shoes on.

Thank you @PeppyPatti it’s my first time doing life.
Humans are supposed to make mistakes. That’s why we’re fun.

How has your sleep been, lovely? @GezzaP
Curious to know how things with the bank went in the end as well!
Cataract surgery must feel like a lot right now. Have you decided if you will go through with it?
Knowing that spending is a habit you'd like to shift is wonderful in itself! So proud of your growing awareness around this. I wonder what might help with your spending during hypomania?
I am glad you have a good psychiatrist, but completely understand needing a new therapist that resonates. Hmm, have you explored Someone Health? It's online, but you can have a look through and find psychologists + obtain a new mental health care plan through their portal!
I am sorry that you and your sister still aren't talking... that must be really hard. Sending big hugs your way.
It must be tough feeling like your friends and helper aren't able to be consistent with you... but I am happy to know your neighbour is helpful.
Do you spend much time together?
Rant away! That is why we are here. 🥰
I hope you are feeling a little lighter this week. Please keep me updated with all that you have going on. 🫶

I didn’t sleep well last night only 2.5 hours. 9 glorious hours the night before. @AuntGlow .
Am going ahead with cataract surgery otherwise they can take my license away.
The bank issue is deferred for now as the old BSB works still. Will hear from
them again when need to change BSB for payments in and out of my account.
I have removed my credit card from pay pal account so can only spend small amounts on other card.
I don’t spend extensive time with neighbour but we get along well and occasionally chat over the fence or when we bump into each other on our morning walks.
My GP is on leave not sure psychologist suits me. I keep my thoughts to myself mostly. And it’s expensive even on a mental health plan.
Still hypomanic but not irritable anymore. Not very anxious either. Stress has gone to my back and neck as usual. But I’m ok.
