This morning I feel mostly at peace, despite some chaos in my life. Just focusing on packing for our move. No need to stress about the rest until we get more info...hopefully at the end of the week.

Since eliminating the Seroquel IR, I feel better. I've even lost a couple pounds without dieting. I know from the past that I can drop weight on my current Seroquel XR dose. I much much prefer XR. It's a different animal than the IR, for me. My concerns have solely been to avoid diabetes and fit into my clothes again. I was happy my jeans felt less tight yesterday.

My physical malady is slowly healing after nearly two weeks of TLC and a doctor's appointment. Getting home from s-i-l's was good, as while a guest (away from home) needed selfcare is more difficult. We will have to go north again in a few days. Not looking forward to it! Though staying with s-i-l is free, I'd rather stay in an inn and eat where and when I like, but that may not be. Plus, Hubby sees things differently. Our various differences in thinking have always been a source of conflict between us. Most of the time I feel I compromise more, but he may say the same thing.
