Blogathon – sponsorship open til Friday
I’m all recovered from the Blogathon now, having got lots of lovely sleep Sunday night! I’m delighted to report that my sponsorship total is approximately £71 (I’ve been sponsored in pounds, euros and dollars, variously) – so far, that is. … finish reading “Blogathon – sponsorship open til Friday”
49: Blogathoned!
Stick a fork in me, I’m done! That was fun, but so exhausting! I’m really glad I made it to the end. See you next year, Blogathon! Once again, many thanks to my wonderful sponsors, Lazulus, Carla, Omega, Mandy, Heather … finish reading “49: Blogathoned!”
48: Q&A – Experiences with diagnosis
lunamorgan asked “What was diagnosis like? How did you get it all sorted, because from what I’ve heard, it’s really hard to get a proper diagnosis of bipolar, what with most people not seeing doctors during manic phases.” There were … finish reading “48: Q&A – Experiences with diagnosis”

47: Home stretch!
Less than an hour to go, and a good thing too… I just had to check the dictionary to make sure I’d spelt “stretch” correctly. Oh, hush, I’m tired! Current song title: strangely appropriate! —————- Listening to: KT Tunstall – … finish reading “47: Home stretch!”
46: A bit more on “normality”
Following on from my last post, I thought I’d just write a quick one (I hope!) covering what’s “normal” and not when you have bipolar. In my experience, that is. As I said before, “normal” is when you can function. … finish reading “46: A bit more on “normality””

45: Q&A – How do we know what’s “normal” and what’s not?
Ptyx asked me: How do we know what’s “normal” and what’s not? Before I got started answering that, I thought I’d better make sure I understood what she was asking, since there were a couple of different ways I can … finish reading “45: Q&A – How do we know what’s “normal” and what’s not?”

44: Going for food, brb for real this time
Well, since I’m suddenly really hungry, I think I’ll celebrate having caught up with myself (I have, right?) by going and getting that toast and some orange juice. I might also reboot the computer. I think it really needs it. … finish reading “44: Going for food, brb for real this time”
43: The Elevenses Post
Which means that I’m not only one post behind. Hooray! Unfortunately, I can’t think of anything to say for this one. How’s everyone else getting on? I was really sorry to see that Renee had needed to get some sleep, … finish reading “43: The Elevenses Post”
42: Isn’t it amazing…
… how quickly I can post several entries in a row when the pressure is really really on! I’m not being helped by either my fingers, my keyboard, or my computer in general – I’m not sure which, and it … finish reading “42: Isn’t it amazing…”
41: A knitty post
Since I don’t think I actually posted here when I finally finished Mum’s birthday shawl, I shall do so now! I was almost a year late giving it to her in the end, so instead of it being finished for … finish reading “41: A knitty post”

40: Playing catch-up again!
Right then, what I’m going to do, in case I’m not technically dropped out for missing an hour, is bring my post count up to where it should be. Which at the moment should be post #42, so I still … finish reading “40: Playing catch-up again!”
39: Nooooooo!
Dammit, nooooo! Apparently I relaxed I too much, because I only fell asleep on the sofa after I ate breakfast. Crap! Am I out?
38: Breakfast time
Feeling much more relaxed now – my shoulders are looser and my back is happier. Hooray! Time to go and get some breakfast together, then. Mmmmm….
37: Another Time Out
So, like I said, I’m going to pop off now to do a quick meditation, and probably grab some breakfast on the way back. Then I shall answer some comments – hi commenters! Thank you for chatting to me! :-) … finish reading “37: Another Time Out”
36: Meditation
I’ve just been thinking that maybe I should go and do some meditation to relax my back muscles and refresh my brain a little… and it’s occurred to me that I could also make a quick post about the subject … finish reading “36: Meditation”
