I did go over to B's last night. I made it until about 10:30, then I couldn't hang anymore. Fell asleep. I think he came to bed shortly afterward. Woke up around 11:30, so I got a lot of sleep. Came home about 12:30 and hopped on my computer to my support site MDJ. A lady on there want's me to think about the most important thing about bipolar so she can write up a proposal to get funding for her business to advocate. I think in my opinion it's the stigma. People need to be educated about it more so they understand it better. Just because you have a mental illness doesn't mean you are "crazy". People do live healthy, productive lives with bipolar. So, I don't know if that would work for her or not, but that's what I will suggest to her.

I did a load of laundry this afternoon here at my apartment. It's raining so I had to walk out there in the rain. Sucked, but I got the clothes done. Last night I cleaned up the kitchen. I am so glad I did, it was a bit of a mess. I broke the damn microwave glass though that you set things on to microwave. It slipped out of my hand while I was drying it. Now I have to buy a new one. Great! I vacuumed a little too until the vacuum died on me. That's another thing I'm going to have to look into. I've only used it for like 5 months. It shouldn't be anywhere near it's deathbed. Frustrating.

A guy on MDJ messaged me when he will get his Advocate title. I couldn't remember when I got mine. I told him probably a week or two. I remember it seemed like it took forever to get mine. It's a label by your name in your title for people that advocate for the site. I advocate on facebook. I also printed up some fliers that I need to distribute at like laundromats and places like that. Doctors would be good too since MDJ has support groups for all medical conditions. It's a good site for support. I just go there for my bipolar support. I don't really need any support in any other areas.

I return to work tomorrow and it's going to be a busy week for me because Mark won't be there. He's been doing all of the orders and as mades for the molasses department. I get to do them this week. It's going to add more work to my load during the day. They come in all throughout the day. I will be having salesmen bothering me all days with orders for sure. Oh well, just go with the flow is all I can do. It will be really frustrating dealing with that while I have payroll though. I've got to try and get to work early this week so I can relax before the workday.

My mood has been pretty good this long weekend. I haven't had to do anything, deal with any people. I do need to get my money back though on that TJMaxx deal though. I need to call. I've put it off because I know it's going to take a long time to deal with on the phone. Gotta do it though. This week I will do it. Well, I just called and they are open M-F 9-6 Eastern time. So, I guess I have to call during working hours. Great! Just more to add to my busy workweek.
