Cool painting @Blue_Bird and I love your picture @LadyShadow You have such beautiful striking eyes and a wonderful smile

Sorry I'm not responding to everyone, just keeping up with posts has been hard on me lately.

I'm feeling stressed today. I don't know. I had to bring my daughter to the doctor, get her set up with a family doc as she's 17 now (will be 18 in December --yikes!), and I just feel she's outgrown the pediatrician. The doctor was nice but there were forms and forms and questions I could tell my daughter thought were excessive. Hopefully they won't ask that many questions in the future! I see a doctor at the same practice but mine is no longer taking new patients, so this was a new doc for me to meet as well. Though with the forms & questions, sometimes I feel they get longer & longer every subsequent appointment. I must have had to sign or initial 15 pages, and I'm not kidding! Mostly we were waiting; the appointment still was around 30 min with all the questions (half of them a repeat from the med tech). The doctor wants yearly bloodwork, H isn't very down with that. I told him we can forgo it unless my daughter seems unduly fatigued or I told my daughter if her periods were excessively heavy. Otherwise, she's pretty healthy.

I think I just wasn't fond of the schedule, did pilates, just been feeling stressed & anxious all day. It didn't help I was dissociating in the doctor's office and honestly, I think my hearing is going because I had trouble understanding half the things the med tech was saying and I've been having trouble understanding some of the dialogue on Star Trek which we are watching from the beginning; soon, I may have to have H put the closed captioning on even if he does not care for it there. I'll have to mention it my next checkup.

Took the low dose Seroquel, couldn't relax. Just finished a cup of chamomile tea, maybe it's helped some. My hormones are acting up too as I had spotting all last week from Monday or Tuesday on through yesterday when I started bleeding red, I don't know is the spotting the first day of my period (felt like it, I was extremely tired that day, making one of my night med mistakes that night). So now I'm bleeding red, what is this going to go on another week yet?! I am ready for it to stop!

Anyway, taking a break from art today. Keyed up like this I tend to have a hard time with it. May try relaxing on my iPad and streaming some shows.
