Contrary to my depressed state on Sunday, on Monday I woke up in good time filled with inspiration and energy. It still took a little while to get going, but once I was there it stayed. This was repeated on Tuesday.
Could be any or all of
- having to get up early over the weekend finally having adjusted my body clock
- the up part of my cycle kicking in (notably I don;t feel like I've cannibalised anything this time)
- the drugs kicking in (having managed to take them regularly for a week)
- the sunshine kicking in
- a few nights of decent sleep
I've taken advantage of the extra energy and hours to push through the backlog of housework (including once-a-year tasks like cleaning behind/under the stove & fridge) and blast a number of other minor outstanding tasks off the bottom of the to-do list. Since I never know how long this mood will last.
This morning is harder. Hopefully just down to the fact that for whatever reasons I didn't sleep very well last night. Having dealt with the major tasks I'm going to try taking it a bit easier now - the risk is always that I just lift my output to match or overshoot the rush of energy/time rather than allowing some of it to be used for recuperation, thus winding up right back where I was.
What I haven't felt inclined to do more of is work - in fact that's been more difficult because my mind is on other things - although once there and started I have generally managed to get into a flow and make what is progress even if it doesn't feel like it (the curse of early-stage large projects). Given my usual tendency to prioritise any extra time/energy into work first and other things second this is actually kind of a good thing.

Notes from gaming last night - Carcassone Hunters and Gatherers had a 29 fish river system shared by 3 of 4 players and the other game I played was Citadels.
SAGA is experiencing the usual end-of-year drop-off in attendance which feels a bit demoralising but still has more people attending overall than some years I recall. Being split across two/three rooms also makes it feel like fewer.
