A Day in my Life

Today’s prompt for #monthoffaves is a day in your life. I picked Saturday, Dec 8 to write about.  Most of my days are the same especially since the Cleveland Winter Weather has seemed to follow me to KY. And I refuse to leave the house when it snows.

I tell all about a typical day in my life at the moment for #amonthoffaves

 

A bit of backstory: When I am stable with my Bipolar all my symptoms go away except for my inability to sleep. I am not talking about a mild case of oh damn I only got six hours when my body needs 12. No, I am talking about going 4 DAYS AND NIGHTS of NO sleep or at most a 2-hour nap. I have learned the hard way that once you pass the 48-hour mark of being awake, your brain starts to….see and hear things that are not in this reality. The Dr prescribed me Seroquel for sleep and anxiety and it was so effective I slept for 72 hours. I did not wanna sleep for that long again so I took my trazodone in the hopes that it would magically start working.

Wake up: crosses fingers it is at least 6 am. I look at my Fitbit and see it is 3:00 AM DAMN I then declare Trazadone a failure and decide to try Seroquel for a month and see how I like it.

3 am to 8 am putter around on the net and look for new book blogs to read and read and comment on the ones that I DO follow.

8 am –  8:30 do my daily burn work out

8:30 shower and put on fresh Pajamas. I have a secret I am going to tell you. In the winter months when I rarely go outside, I wear my Pajamas 24/7. I have an impressive pajama collection. I even have a pajama board on pinintrest1

9:00 am I  remember an hour late that I am supposed to take 25 mg of Seroquel for anxiety since the dumb ass Government made Nurotin a narcotic.  Well, it is  Narcotic in KY. grrrrr mom has breakfast made so  I eat breakfast and wonder if I should write book blog posts or read. I decide on the book blog posts.

1 pm I have written most of the rest of December posts so I decided to finish up my re-read of A New Earth.

3 pm–  I decide to try and work on my booksagram skills. I am a member of Melyssa Griffin Membership Site, and we recently had a very informative class on Instagram. Now that I have a solid strategy in place I am eager to try my newfound knowledge. I also am annoyed that my cat Marbles peed on my old DSLR camera and put my wish for a NEW DSLR camera out into the universe. In the meantime, I will have to make do with my iPhone. I edit them using A Color Story and schedule them for Instagram via Planoly. Say a thank you to the Instagram God they have automatic posting now. No more being glued to my phone.

6 pm mom texts me and tells me dinner is ready and I look, and I am all dammmmnnnn I have spent three HOURS on Instagram?!?! I go to the kitchen and eat. I realize I am super hungry as I did not eat lunch AND I forgot to take my 2 pm Seroquel. I am used to taking all my meds at the same time morning, and night this having to remember every day at 8 am and 2 pm are for the birds. Realize I can set mt Fitbit to vibrate at e8 AM and 2 PM and feel proud.

7pm-9:30 pm finish reading GRIT.

9:30 PM Take my 100 mg oF Serqeal to sleep. Go lay down in my bed so when I pass out, I will already be in bed. Pass out until Sunday Morning.

 

A Note

I have been on hiatus from my ghostwriting as when I was sick I felt sick and had brain fog and couldn’t write for shit. Now that I am better I will resume Ghostwriting in Feb and client work will be stuck in the schedule but for now, I write this book blog as a hobby.
