Not so much mania from my point of view but all my work colleagues were surprised by my perkiness. I had a fantastic day [apart from a brief coughing fit when I almost passed out, I'm fine though don't worry], I spent the whole time singing along to the radio... I don't know where all the customers have gone but the ones that did phone were delightful.

I didn't realise how down I was up until this point. This morning I realised that it was the first day in ages I had an actual smile on my face. Things that would annoy me during the day, and they certainly annoyed me last week, were just bouncing right off.

I think its just finally hit me that I can have my own fun and I shouldn't feel guilty. I would be moping at home trying to do work because there was no time to do it in the office. At this precise point in time... I couldn't give a monkies. I've met some great new friends and strengthened old acquaintances. I'm having a social life that I'm enjoying for once. That sounds awful... I enjoyed my social life before its just that there wasn't much of it because we are/were all so busy.

After the health kick and trying to bring myself back to some sort of sensible place in my life I feel like I'm getting there. There are more reasons to carry on with the change rather than fall off the wagon and go back to my old ways.

I'm off to see who else I can annoy with my hopefully not too temporary happiness. Big hugs all round. xx
