I slept 11 hours last night. Can't believe it. Usually I'm up much earlier than that. Making up for lost time I think.

So far, so good without the Wellbutrin. I think not taking it is already helping my memory. I doubt stopping it will help 100%, but I'm tired of going into a room of my house 15-20 times a day and knowing I had a purpose going there and completely forgetting why. Not to mention talking in sentences that go off on tangents and confuse other people, and forgetting where I put things all the time, though all of that could be mixed BP, ADHD, fibro, who knows?

We're going to an old-fashioned Halloween type celebration at at local bayou this evening. They've got a old farmhouse and outbuildings there. It is actually the place my husband goes to do his hobby of blacksmithing once a month. It cost a little for the reservations, but H said to do it; it was fun last year. They give the kids talks on spiders or other creepy critters, take out the snakes & reptiles for petting, make yarn dolls, do origami (bats last year), a straw dive for toys, and a night hike through the woods with a guide, apple cider & such. They hire a local artist to paint mud masks on the trees along the hike, and our daughter loved spotting those first (since she insisted on the most powerful flashlight we brought). It is a bit tiring for me, being that I am not a night person for things like that, but it is a good cause (profits go to upkeep of the bayou, animals & outbuildings). Though I think part of the protection of that area of bayou & land (besides being donated as a reservation area by the former family who lived there) is due to space needed around NASA/JSC because NASA is very close by. Hopefully, I do OK energy-wise. I sometimes crash early in the night. Maybe some coffee beforehand. Luckily, there are actual restrooms instead of port-a-potties. Both H and I think it is good for our daughter to have a candy-free Halloween/fall celebration.
