Hey there,

Back from bowling - bad night. We only took one game!

Going for walks is always a good thing, it's supposed to help a lot. I can never seem to make myself do it though lately! I just want to lay around and read or watch TV or play on the computer : )

Yes, I'm going to see Jerry Seinfeld live, stand-up comedy. It should be fun. He's in Chicago. What state do you live in? I'm going with a friend from bowling - he couldn't find a date so he's taking me : ) There supposed to be really good seats too.

I'd be interested in hearing some of your stories. Sounds like you've led a very interesting life. Where did you live before your dad's?

I'll have to tell you sometime about the time I was 16 and my friend and I decided to take a train to California without telling anyone. That's about my most interesting story - it was VERY uncharacteristic of me. I've thought back on it and wondered if it had anything to do with being bipolar, but I don't think so. I didn't really have signs of being manic or anything. Although, I still can't believe we did that. What's the craziest thing you've ever done?

Well, I'm really glad you are feeling better. Being on a mood stabilizer really does help. Are you still going to take the Clonazepam? If you still have trouble falling asleep, look into Ambien. It knocks you out very quickly. I guarantee it. I was iffy about taking it at first because I didn't like the idea of relying on sleeping pills and was afraid I'd become addicted to it or something, but I haven't. I only take it when I need it and I haven't had any side effects or anything. You just have to make sure you go to bed right away after you take it. It only takes about 10 minutes to kick in. It's been a life saver for me, especially when I was manic. I wouldn't have ever gotten any sleep without it then.

Speaking of sleep, I have got to go to bed early tonight!
