Anyway, I'm hoping today will be an overall good day for me. I have a lot of stuff to do this week. Should be very, very busy (unfortunately). I just hope the stress doesn't get to me, as I haven't been good at dealing with stress lately.
I had used alarms, especially when I'd had some mid-day meds to take.
Now that I only have meds twice a day, I have been able to take them on time. I have some extra incentive, I think? I start withdrawing from pain meds if I miss my bedtime meds.It is very, very unpleasant and does not resolve for at least 18 hours after I make up the missed dose.

I would have a very difficult time remembering meds if I had a schedule as busy as yours.

I do think you will feel better, more stable, if you can follow through on taking all doses on time. If you do not feel better from doing so, this is important information, too.

I hope you can minimize unnecessary stress this week. Do protect yourself and only deal with necessary stress.

Take excellent care of yourself this week. Get enough sleep, enough water, enough nutrition, etc. You might have more stamina if you attend to all aspects of self-care. I need to do the same this week.

Much Love, Blue!
