Up again, after a number of chunks of sleep last night and this morning, and a couple of hours awake in the early hours chatting with @greenpea and @The-red-centaur. Have added up enough sleep for now, though I'm still tired and had an inadvertent micro-sleep in the armchair just before this. Writing to keep myself awake now.
Still in my nightie and dressing gown, my comfort clothes. Don't want to get out of them yet. So far I've breakfasted and taken meds and turned on music on the TV/radio to try to lift my energy and wakefulness more. That and opened the blinds. These are good things I try to always do when feeling demotivated at the start of days, as is so often the case. What a contrast to the middle of the night, when I'm often at my peak!
There's a chance I might end up at my friend's place today, which would be a great thing. It would get me out of the flat and social. Almost always lifts me a lot. If not, I have no plans and could well spend the day in my nightwear. I'll try not to do that, but don't always succeed on days like today.
@greenpea, how was your walk this morning? Did you do any running? It's lovely imagining you at first light watching the bay, while getting some exercise and fresh air. I love twilight times, perhaps as much as I like the middle of the night.
@The-red-centaur, I too have a trans friend, sweet person with MI too. Also had a year-long relationship a couple of decades ago with someone who was intersex, born with genetic characteristics of both male and female.
I wonder who might be around for a chat this morning. Hi to @outlander, @CheerBear, @Teej and @Faith-and-Hope. If you or anyone else passing through feels like chatting, I'm here. No worries, if not. Maybe catch you later.
Hope today brings okay or better times for all.
