Do you see what I see? as the song goes...yes, people everywhere, I see that getting caught up in the holiday spirit and the haste and hapless attehtion to detail which always follows when I am hurried, I am having to be more and more focussed on what I am doing just in order not to appear a half=wit. I'm sorry, but failure to take care of getting these shopping detaiils handled sooner on your part, does not constitute an emergency on mine! I have such an attitude. Really, I am resenting this bipolar condition once again because this is one of the occasions when it rises sto the fore and waves its hand to gain everyone's attention...Look everyone, Michel is forgetting things because she is under pressure. I'm apt to burn the dinner; forget to feed the dog; forget my pills; stay up way too late sitting at the computer because I'm oblivious to time. I'm just in a general state of instability...and spending money..oh yes I've done a little too much of that. Thank God there are no available men around here or I might get myself in real trouble. ha ha. I'm just about completely ready for Christmas. Looks like my brother isn't going to San Diego with me so it will be just me at my daughter's family for Christmas. Hate to leave my brother alone. We'll have Christmas together on Wednesday night before I leave on Thursday. Tomorrow is my appt with Dr. Burden my therapist...haven't seen her for three weeks and I've been missing that. Then the last minute shopping for Christmas stockings; pick up prescriptions froom my pdoc and get them in the mail. finish packing and I'm off to California. Maybe I'll calm ddown after tomorrow's errands are over. But we all know that a little instability is just par for the course...hoping it stays at that.
