Cln, I hope that infection is cured quickly. And, Coco, I hope the swelling is gone. I hope, too, that the day goes well for everyone.

I’m going to meet with my T today and finish up my WRAP.

Happy anniversary!!!

So much for doing things today...I took a muscle relaxer thinking it would help my back while I was taking my home office items upstairs. I wanted to move things out of the sunroom today so the contractors can repair the ceiling damage. Totally forgot that the relaxer also relaxes the heart, so I'm out of breath after four trips up the stairs. Silly me. I'll try again tomorrow. I'd rather have an aching back than a heart attack.

Also forgot my regular T's appointment was Monday, so called her for another appointment. I'm considering going back to my old T because while she's good she's so booked up that it's 3 weeks or longer between appointments.

My husband is mostly done installing the plumbing project. He will physically test it tomorrow before he installs the computer to read the sensor data. So far the basement is dry.

It's been a quiet day otherwise. Surfing the Web and petting my cat (when she's not hiding from me moving stuff).

Hugs to all of you and double if you're struggling.

Feeling low. Had a discussion with my wife about meds and how I feel. She doesn't understand but seems to be trying.

Depression is not new - I've been depressed lots of times over the years. But I guess the difference now is that it has lasted so long (10 months).

I dropped off my car for service today. The bill will be around 2,000. Not good since I'm out of work but it needs to be done. Other than that I have done nothing today... considering taking a shower.

edit to add: took a shower

I cant get the kids to clean the house. We are being inspected friday. In 2 days. Im still dealing with P (who wanted me to get that tattoo) - hes acting angry at me and huffing around so I told him to get lost! Meanwhile Im feeling closer to my longtime friend C (the one coming for a visit). My meds seem to be working now so thats good but in a week ortwo when I see pdoc again she'll put me on Haldol again because I was never meant to be on Seroquel long-term. I am finally after 6 weeks getting my new cpap! I have an appointment this Monday to pick it up and learn how it works! My old one now smells like burning plastic so Im going to have to sleep without it from now on.

Congratulations, that's a long time.

Today I am feeling really dazed and confused haha. Just unable to focus for more than 10 seconds at a time, and it is quite annoying trying to get my paper done. I don't want to explain my mental health to my advisor, but we had such a good rapport and now I know he is getting frustrated that I am dragging it out. I'm trying to push through and do it anyways. He didn't know what I was dealing with all these past 2 semesters, but I think he suspected I was pushing myself a bit hard, because he told me to make sure I was sleeping after I kept sending him emails at 4 am. Maybe I do not hide it as well as I thought. Anyways, I think I will tell my pdoc tomorrow that I will wait until our next visit to try another med, because I want this one totally out of my system and a few weeks for the dust to settle, so to speak.

I pre apologize if I get snippy or pissy the next 2 weeks. Going off tramadol and soma tomorrow. NOT looking forward to the withdrawal.

Hot. Hot. Hot. Ugh.
That is all.

Today was really a rather good day! I saw my beloved psychiatrist after his usual annual 5 week vacation to Martha's Vineyard. I was upbeat and he seemed pleased with my good mood.

I had a lot of fun searching for a family tree for a branch of my family. What inspired me was a sudden interest in an historic site and museum near my childhood hometown, which I plan to visit (with my dad) next Wednesday. I chatted about it via e-mail with my sister throughout the day. It was fun! I also received a call from a volunteer at the historic site. We had a lovely fun conversation. I'm actually considering volunteering there once per week. We'll see. If I do, that will push me to visit my dad more often, which might benefit us both.

I had plenty of energy to tidy up the house sufficiently, make a bread pudding, and go out to a cafe for lunch followed by a small grocery shopping trip.

Bird boy has been fed his special goodies, and I'm relaxing now. Hubby is going out with his buddies, and I already ate my dinner. I didn't overeat today. I'm mostly satisfied with my day's diet. I did take my evening medications earlier than usual, so I'm getting a bit sleepier earlier than usual. That's OK.

I enjoy your posts!
Glad you have had a good day!
The volunteer position sounds interesting.
Thanks for sharing.

Today the bosses said everyone is getting a 50% raise on the 27th. Someone decided we were worth more. I cried.

Today I edited a study on whether Koreans were getting enough sleep. It took someone 4000 words to say they aren't.

Everything depends on my silence. We're doomed.

My sleep is messed up. I sleep like 14 hours a day but in 2-5 hour intervals. I try to stay awake during the day but it just doesn't work. I don't know if it's the meds and just not being manic but I also haven't ruled out depression, although I had a moment earlier last night that felt good.

yesterday I " through the toys out the pram", because I couldn't have what I wanted- so in a fit of rage I took all my bracelets off (all 8 of them), and through them across the room- not that I'm bothered, today I'm probably going to step on them and break the strings..

I've done some more work to my stories- I have my creative flow back (whoo!)

I wrote a chapter on my benidorm one, and a chapter to the stranger on the bridge- strangely enough, the stranger on the bridge is based on something happening in a tv show at the moment (and I didn't even know it was happening!).

today I'm going to add to my dark fairytales collection, the story of the bird bear (but darker version)

still no sleep, though that's okay- unaffected by it anyway.

today for the first time in ages (at least a few weeks), it's actually pretty cool- and raining a little bit

finally got the cooler weather we've desperately needed... hoping it will last for a while!

[Miss Laura]

Was wide awake at 3:30am got about 2 and a half hours sleep. I'm feeling great. I have anxieties though but that's cause I'm seeing a counsellor in 3 hours time. Scared much. Chatting to guys online and had a cry last night not good.

Congratulations Vertigo!

My grandma's official cause of death is listed as advanced dementia. It's very sad to hear that there was nothing we could have done to save her when she was lying on her bed with low vitals.

My parents are in denial about the cause of death, but I believe it since the dementia had gotten really bad to the point it was preventing her from eating and drinking.

At least her death was peaceful and that she was in no pain, according to my dad, who was holding her hand as she took her last breaths. I'm glad that she was surrounded by family.

Rest in peace, grandma

Congrats on the anniversary vertigo! That is awesome!

I'm still here, still recovering for the UTI. Sometimes I think it is getting better, sometimes not. So I'm not sure. Maybe I'm on the right antibiotic, maybe not. I am glad I changed my pdoc appt. today from an in-person appt. to a phone appt. He will do phone appts. up to 3 visits in a row before you have to return in person unless he has very grave concerns.

(((((((((blue)))))))))
I'm glad she was surrounded by loved ones. Wishing you good memories and peace. You are right that, though it is sad, there is nothing you could have done. Please take care of yourself and be gentle with yourself through this very individual process. Much love to you.

[Blueberrybook]

Pdoc phone appt. went well. He is keeping my meds the same though trying an increase in Adderall from 15 mg to 20 mg because he feels I am losing my train of thought too much, listening poorly, and losing too many things like my cellphone, keys, wallet, etc. So we'll see. I'm supposed to call him back if I get manicky. Otherwise, I see him in a month.

I'm cleaning the apartment today. Inspection tomorrow. So far working on the bathroom. Did the sink and toilet. Now onto the tub and floor.
