I slept from 2pm -- yes, 2pm -- until 4am. I didn't even know I was capable of doing that? But then again, I was sleep deprived on top of withdrawing from my ritalin. I think the last time I slept this much was when I was on Seroquel!!
Other than that, mood is slightly low but still alright. Not the greatest, but not the worst either. I wouldn't say I'm depressed; I think I'm just feeling overtired and exhausted.
Also, I've done a lot of packing already for my trip later this week. I started on Thursday last week, and I already have all of my clothing items in packing cubes. I have also prepared my toiletries bag with my meds, toothbrush, etc..
Because I'm such a germaphobe, I bought some medical-grade, TSA-compliant sanitizing wipes off Amazon. I got 3 travel packs w/ 20 wipes each, and resealable. I'm wiping the sh_t out of the seats, seatbelts, window, window shade, and arm rests with these wipes. And then I have some leftover face masks from my surgery back in April, so I will be using those to prevent myself from breathing in airborne diseases.
Apparently "economy" parking at the airport is $29 a day, while regular ("central") parking is $39 a day. We're trying to see if we can park somewhere in the city for cheaper and just take the train to the airport. Though, since my dad is paying for the trip, I might just pay for the central parking. Not ideal, but we've done "economy" parking before and we always have to wait a while to get on the shuttle. Like, the line will be so long that we won't make it onto the next bus or two, so then we're stuck waiting, and in the frigid weather. Best to just pay $39 a day, I suppose.

Hey Blue!
Wow, that is a lot of sleep! Good for you!
I didn't realize professional grade wipes were available. I might get some. I use them a lot during flu season. We use them here in the house if someone has a cold. I think it really helps because colds rarely spread here.
I think it's great that you feel free to use a mask. My grandmother used to do this even many years ago. She would not fly without a mask.
I have a friend in Japan who tells me people wear masks all of the time there. Usually the people who are ill wear the masks. I am told it's considered extremely rude to not wear a mask if ill. We could learn from that practice!
I hope you and your dad have a great trip!
