Sketches of a Bipolar Girl: Spring Cleaning

It's Spring.  The weather is getting warmer and the air is clean since the stay home order went into effect.  There aren't as many cars on the road, so there is less pollution.  Funny how people are now realizing that all of the problems of air, noise and water pollution are the fault of humankind. I always knew this.  Some of the shit heads in government have no choice but to admit that they were wrong.

I started today with a good attitude.  At least, that's what I conjured up a little bit later in the morning.
I woke up at 6:15 am, a full 1/2 hour before my alarm.  I had to pee so I got up. I'm always a bit dazed when I wake up.  It's the drugs I take before bed.  I go and put on my coffee, then go smoke a cigarette.  If you remember from my introduction, I said I was trying to quit smoking?  Well, the struggle remains.  However, with all of the things going on in my life right now,  it's not a major concern.
I had physical therapy at 8 am.  I'm still trying to recover from the back surgery I had in November.  I think I am just going to have to face the fact, that I am going to be in pain for the rest of my life. Most of the time it's bearable.  But, there are some days when it feels like my back is broken in two.  I just want to rip out my spine and soak it in cold water or something. 
Well, I did a little cleaning in my room.  I went through some papers, and organized my desk.  I have all kinds of papers for work, and they were just in a big pile.  So, I organized them by topic and filed them accordingly.  That way, I should be able to find what I need more easily, rather than shuffle through a bunch of paperwork.
Work is going pretty well.  It's stressful because there is so much to learn and remember, but it is interesting.  The hours are long.  The other night, I didn't get done until 10 pm.   I hope I can keep up.  I have a set  routine for bed, and I try to get lights out at 11 pm.  If I get ready for bed at 10, I watch TV for an hour just to relax and let my meds take effect. 
I usually watch sitcoms, something that I don't have to think about too much.  I like something that will put a smile on my face before I go to bed.
So, I have some more physical and spiritual cleaning to do  this weekend.  I need to dust my room, change the bed, vacuum, wash clothes and file some more papers.  Spiritually, I must start attending Mass again.  I am sending a membership request to become a member of the Catholic Church of St. Monica.  It's not to  far from me and it looks very nice.
well, that's all for now I guess.  I  have a couple of things to do before I get back to work.

Peace, Joy, Love - B
