People have asked me what it feels like to be Bi-polar. It’s a lot of things. Most of all for me anyway, is it’s like a roller coaster ride at the amusement park. That rush down the hill into a hairpin curve. Your heart is in your throat. Just when you get your self under control as you climb up the hill on the next curve. Woooshhhh. Back down at breakneck speed. Sometimes the ride down the hill last too long. Or so it seems to me and those around me also. I don’t know when to get off the ride so to speak. My perception of how long I’ve been on the downhill is distorted. My speech becomes elevated and I talk fast and long. I’m sure some people that have run into me lately are saying amen to that.

I hope anyone facing this disorder isn’t trying to do it alone. It’s really hard. In fact I don’t really think you can do it alone. Bi-Polar disorder drags you around it takes on a life of it’s own. At least for me anyway. I don’t know if I’m explaining it clear enough. If any of you out there feel something different let us know.I by nature am a rather talkative lad without any help.Toss in the Manic stage and watch out. Fortunately I don’t think I’m talking to myself. Watch out though it’s early yet.

I went to my Physical Capacity test yesterday. It was easier than I expected. I thought I would be sweating when I was done. But it wasn’t that kind of test. I truly discovered what limitations I have. It’s kind of frustrating but whinnying about it isn’t going to change anything. The tester was very friendly and very professional. (Even after I told him I was the one that wrote the letter):)

Buying gas is still a shell game. Cindy and I have come to the realization that BJ’s is the best place for us to buy it. It was $3.21.9 a gallon on Saturday when we went. Those stations in Elbridge were playing their pricing games again, they were the lowest prices in the Greater Syracuse area. So if you live in Elbridge, Ny check them out on the sale days.I think Sam’s club is on par with BJ’s on price. If anyone knows any different let me know and I’ll post it here so we all can know.

Mannnnn. Wait all Winter and Spring for opening day, and it is rained out. That’s right it is the end of the World! the Yankee game was rained out. What’s so funny is that the game started at 1:00 pm. I was so busy doing other things that I had forgotten about it anyway. So I just figured I would catch the highlights on the 11:00 oclock news. So I’m sitting in the recliner 10 minutes into the News and the sports comes on. The first report was on the Mets. They won. The next thing I remember I was waking up and the sports reporter was just finishing up talking about the Yankee game. That’s right between the Met’s report and the Yankee report, What was that all of 10 seconds? I dosed off in the recliner. I popped back awake. I laughed and asked Cindy what the score was. She had to tell me that the game was rained out. I know for some of you this fine day that this warning will be to late, like it is for me, but I have to give it anyway: “Don’t get old”. I tell this to everyone younger than me when I’m talking with them.

Occasionally I’ve said that to a person that has already made it past their 50’s like Momma and Myself. You know what the response to that comment I’ve made is? Yep. “To Late I’ve already made it.” I’m justa saying!
