600+

So, yesterday was a horrible day for me, full of weepy. 
In spite of it, I decided to head to the gym, I understand it sometimes helps with mood. 
I got in a 600+ calorie burn workout... did an "alpine climb" on the elliptical machine.
Then, I wept all the way home.  Sucks.
Bipolar disorder just takes away a day here, a day there...  but I am fortunate lately, my up and down swings seem to be a matter of days lately rather than weeks or months. 
The exercise didn't immediately help.  But, I feel like some time between 10 and 11, my mood lifted.  It was as if I was injected with helium.  I flipped to a bit too manic to sleep, and was up until after 6am this morning. 
Ended up sleeping much of today away, but woke in time to get my daughter and two of her friends from school.  I made some strawberry lemonade from scratch and some guacamole to go with the chips and salsa I picked up on the way home from school.  We had a lovely after-school snack.

One friend has been collected, the other one's staying for dinner.  We're having vegetarian BBQ riblets, mashed potatoes, and steamed broccoli.
Today's better by far than yesterday.
After dinner when R's friend has been retrieved, I'll be heading over to Mike's place to watch some TV.  :D  Alcatraz!
