I had chocolate in thr house
@TAB . I usually do. Only slept 2 hours again. Trying to go back to sleep here. But being hypomanic means if I wake up a bit more I’ll be up cooking again and doing dishes like yesterday frantically despite not having enough sleep. Will be full of energy, but for now sitting in dim room trying to go back to sleep. Should read but turning on loght would be to bright prefer dim room. Hope you sleep more than me. On

@ENKELI Yes I need the surgery soon or they’ll take my driving licence away. Slept for only 2 hours again. That’s over 6 days in a row with inadequate sleep. Really sick of it. Need to get lozenge and blow my noss. Feel okayish. Sitting in dim room with oodie over my legs and puss on my lap, but need to get up struggling to sit still. Hope you sleep better than me.
