*hugs* thank you so much! I love being outside too, and maybe I just need to suck it up more in the summer, but living in the desert with temps over 100 yeah the outside doesn’t work for me so much. Maybe when I can quick my day job I’ll become nocturnal during the summer.

So glad you’re on a high right now, and yes prep for the downswing. I find if I can nurture myself when it happens its less intense, sometimes.

Writing and getting outside do the trick for me. Now that I’ve found extremely warm and incredibly ridiculous winter overalls I make sure to stay outside even in the worst weather. I love, love, love your honesty and your humor.
