Good morning? Or night? It’s almost 2am. I can’t sleep. I skipped my Thorazine last night cause I got the bright idea that I can just come off 400 mg of Thorazine immediately without tapering slowly down. And I slept 2 hours 45 min of very horrible poor quality tossing and turning light sleep if it can even be called sleep.

I have to get bloodwork in the morning around 11:20am. So I’m fasting from last night till then. Nothing but water till then. I have labs for my psychiatrist and for my primary to get done (they both work in the same office so both can be done at once there. Have to skip my morning trileptal dose as my psychiatrist is taking my trileptal level in preparation to start tapering me off it.

Aside from the barely any sleep tonight (which is my own fault) I’m doing well. I had a volunteer shift the other day. Later in the day my volunteer coordinator texted me to tell me the director had popped in randomly a couple hours after my shift and said things looked really good in there and very clean and that I did a good job. I guess the director rarely comes in but when they do it’s usually random and good to leave a good impression. So it felt good to get recognized for doing good work. I have another shift on the 14th and one on the 28th.

I feel good though doing well. I temporarily suspended my home internet connection for 2 months to save a bit of money cause I’m trying to get back on track for when I overspent when I was manic. I still have my phone of course and unlimited data on that. It’s cut down on my screen time a lot because I’m not on my tablet all the time now since it’s not connected to the internet. I’ve started learning how to crochet and have been reading a lot more. Been more present in my life.

All and all things are good, I hope you’re all doing well. Here’s a couple pics of the kitties from my volunteer job
