I feel so happy right now.  I'm in a really good relationship and it is causing me much joy in my life.  My friends are good, although one is a little stressful, but I'm setting up boundaries with her.  I have a new job, and it's going well.  I like most of my co-workers.  I also did a good job setting up boundaries at my job, so I won't overwhelm myself and become too stressed out.  I'm manic, and not currently on a mood stabilizer, so that's probably not good, but I feel better than I have in a long time, and I am just enjoying that.  I will talk to my doctor about the mood stabilizer situation.  It's hard to find one that's not too sedating, or that doesn't mess with my sleep, or have a host of other side effects.

But I'm so happy, it's so nice to feel this way.  I'm going to enjoy it.

And I believe much of it is due to my new relationship.

And satisfaction at my job.

I feel like I'm finally doing something.

I enjoy the interaction with the customers, and with my co-workers.  The food is great, and I get it for free.

I'm lonely.

this little guy landed on my arm!

Met with my former dietitian today.  We just had coffee; it is nice to talk with her.

We talked about my plans to apply to enter the Master's of Social Welfare program at KU.  I am excited about trying to do that; I feel it is time to try to do something with my life.  I hope it works out well. I am a bit worried that I could have a mood swing and it could affect my ability to do well in the program.  But I will apply and see how my mood is for the next few months, and hopefully it will work out.
