Sounds like you're speaking from experience. I know that when it goes away, I try to cram in as much stuff as possible - to get it all done while I still have the energy and motivation. Yikes! I have that too - I call it "in the zone". It's amazing the times that I am on a tear and can get everything done. Juxtaposed with the times that I am more "meh" and can barely muster the energy to put a load in the wash. I can usually chalk it up to my cycle - though, I suspect it's a little more than just that. Cycles is an interesting term, because I seem to go through cycles with it as well. (fyi, I don't menstruate) Same with my insomnia. I wonder which one triggers which. Anyway, I usually just power through it. But goodness, is it tiring.

The really interesting thing that isn't really mentioned, is emotional overload that happens when you begin to come out of it.

What an ass of an ex. I bet he doesn't look like Antonio Banderas. Far from it, but I would never say anything disparaging about him, even now. That statement right there. That is what makes you shine. After 18 years of him, you are STILL a person who won't disparage him. NOT because of him, but because it would betray who YOU are. That is character - more than I have, and if I may, a kind, forgiving, gentle soul. If you want I'll disparage him....

must .. remember .. to .. get .. a .. whiteboard For me, by me. Actually, currently lists get made on the back of an envelope. There always seem to be enough bills coming in - although it's all shifting to email 'cause they are too tight to spend money on stamps. Incidentally, wewbwb ,that dialogue really reminds me of communication here when my wife has a p-a streak. Just doesn't want to commit to anything. Will not let on if she wants chicken or beef for dinner, and the 'you don't have to do that right now' thing as well. <grins> Having said that, my w. is the one who always wants to go out and do stuff herself. Only comes to me to find out how it's done when she doesn't know (or if it involves questions of left vs. right or clockwise vs. counterclockwise). But she's a demon with my cordless drills. And the bandsaw. And the air tools. Spanners are a problem (see above). :-D I have the opposite issue (I find it funny) She will try to fix something, fail at it (No fault of hers) leave it out for week on the counter, I'll ignore it until she asks me to "Look at it." I say "Sure." I fix it, than she goes ballistic that "She tried that already! I did exactly what you did!" Why the fuck did it work for you?" Me, being me say "Because it hates you." As a result.... (WAIT FOR IT....) She hasn't touched a tool in years.

LOL. That is too funny! I'm the fixit person in our house. This is what my hub does: He goes and gets a pack of post-its and puts them in front of me with a pen and starts dictating. I know this sounds overbearing but he doesn't do it in a mean way. It's a collaboration. I appreciate that I don't have to go find the materials to make the list. Try it. Next time she tells you about something, in a VERY NICE "I have a great idea" way, get the post-it's and a pen and put them in front of her. If she stabs you with the pen and makes you eat the post-its, I'll send you flowers ROFL, yes so true
My wife wants ME to get the pen and post it note to write down the things she thinks of, while she is on her IPhone, that has a to do list app.
Tell her to email it to you - or text it to you. One advantage of technology is that now when I go to store and ask her if she needs anything that isn't on the list, I make her send me a picture of it so I know I'm getting the right thing in the right size. (I've been scolded because I got the large box of cereal that was on sale making it cheaper than the small box.) Now that being said - it's not always her, or me even that is the issue. Getting her ice cream last night I had to call because Coldstone sizes are: "Like it - Love it" - Orgasm in it" - But wait there's more! They have ANOTHER set of sizes that are "Mine - Ours -Orgy" So I had to translate her obscure description of "You know the small white bowl I have? It's a little bigger than that." Into "We make this up" sizes and hope for the best. Please for us old people - small medium large. It works. It really does.....

cagedtiger Why are New Yorker's so angry? Because the "light at the end of the tunnel" is New Jersey. And yes - both times I was coming home through the Lincoln tunnel. But I've always seen speed limits like this: Of course, this was all back in the days when cops were fun and allowed to exercise judgement: Trooper: "You blew up your engine? - Good. You were driving fast but not like an asshole. I can't believe you're not drunk. So get this piece of shit towed and out of face." Me:"Fuck"

While this is not THE car it is representative of the car I first found "speed" with. A 1975 Chevy Camaro. After seizeing the stock 305 2bbl engine (note to self: curbs rip oil pans off) I built a 350 4 bbl engine for it. (My very first engine build) That engine floated a valve a 112 mph at about 2am on the New Jersey Turnpike. At least the laughing cop told me I was doing 112mph. (Note to self: Pay attention to valve springs) I rebuilt that engine into a 383 Stroker (I simply do not learn) THAT engine blew a piston at 125 mph at about 2am on the New Jersey Turnpike. At least I think it was about 125mph - the speedo only goes to 120 and it pinned. (Note to self: Do NOT buy the cheapest parts, buy the BEST parts.) As a result, I no longer drive late at night. This is the song that was playing. To this day, no speed limit sign stands a chance....

You can only post one song. Choose it wisely. THE song that makes you drive faster....

I am no expert so please consult someone who is.
HOWEVER - it seems strange to me that something you do for exercise, fun and enjoyment in the privacy of your home, is able to send him to hell.
If you were "sweating to the oldies" would he object?
I'd start by asking someone whose opinion he respects.
