Great job ordering your meds! Taking my meds is on my list of things that make my life work better. That and enough sleep. When I don't do either one of those, food is a lot harder to deal with. Today I forgot to take my meds and forgot to eat lunch and dinner was not too healthy since I was ready to eat anything at that point.
My husband has sleep apnea and needs to lose a lot of weight but even after he just lost just a little bit of weight his sleep apnea got much better. I was tested for it but the test was inconclusive. I still had to pay for it though. Anyhow, I had started exercising a little and felt better and I told the doctor that. He said that even if I didn't lose weight, exercising would help with my night time breathing. Beats me if this is true or if he was just trying to get me to move.
My husband and I bought little jackets for our dogs. Maybe I can take them for short walks with me during the Christmas break. I'm trying to plan ahead because I really rot at dealing with unstructured time and my therapist is sick and had to cancel and we hadn't set up a next appointment.
