Where is my Brain?

I'm scared to go pick up my daughter at her friend's. I don't understand it. I've been there before. We went the back way on the way there (she had gps on her phone). Now I feel like I'm going to forget the regular way to get there. It will be dark, too and it was foggy when I drove home. (I drove home so why can't I drive there?!) I have a cold and its 5-something my most unfavorite time. I also forgot to take my blood thinner for an entire WEEK! OMG. I immediately thought my cough was a blood clot and I was going to die. SO I called the anti-coagulation people and they changed my dose (upped it) and we'll see if that fixes it. I still feel like an idiot for not putting my coumadin in my med boxes! Where is my brain? I did spend a few hours listening to my friend talk about how terrible his new marriage is. That wasn't easy but I think he felt better after.

You have a lot on your mind right now, especially with what happened to your friend and you're also trying to be good to your other friend by listening to him talk about his marriage. Don't be so hard on yourself. We all make mistakes.

I hate driving during the 5ish to 6ish time frame, too and especially when it's getting dark and visibility is limited. I get anxious about driving to places I don't go to a whole lot. I'm always worried I'll get lost and I don't trust the GPS on my phone to get me there... I'm always thinking, what if it's not updated?? What if it has me tracked to the wrong location??? What if, what if, what if.... I think I kind of understand how you feel.

Good luck and stay safe picking up your daughter! I hope your cold gets better soon.

Thanks, Nene. I asked her if she could spend the night at her friend's and she said no because there's no room on the school bus. So I'm getting her in a couple hours.

My blood thinners was just a huge mistake. Missing one dose is no biggie but a week? Imagine if we missed a week of an antipsychotic. Except that blood thinners keep clots from forming in my lungs or brain or heart. At least the anti-coag people didn't seem too freaked out.

My cold is just a cold. Still have a slight fever, but I've had that for a week or so. Maybe I had a cold before I knew it?

So I'll try to feel positive about finding my way to my daughter's friend's house tonight. I think I'll sleep in tomorrow. (Unless the kids miss the bus!)
