HuhWhat?
I've made a very concerted effort this year to be much more "centered" and much less manic, mostly because my episodes of Donald Duck temper tantrums freaked Simon out and I hated seeing him upset like that.
So far, I've done fairly well. I have the occasional spell, but they're much fewer and farther between. However, as I've become less manic, I've also become more forgetful. On the one hand, that might be a good thing in that I forget what I'm upset about faster (thus, letting go of it sooner). On the other hand, it means I also forget other things, like my neighbour's name (twenty seconds after she told me). And yesterday I needed to stamp some papers before putting them in the envelope to mail. I sat in my chair and turned around and, looking at the office tower across the alley way, thought, "why am I facing THIS way?". So I take the papers, go get the envelope and mailing labels, stuff the papers in the envelope and am just about to remove the sealing adhesive backing when I remembered, "oh yeah, the stamps!"
I notice, when I'm having one of my more manic periods, my memory is better. Somehow, I need to find a better balance...ya think?
