@Mountaindewed I doubt you have leukemia. My choir director died of that and he was extremely tired most of the time.

Today I woke up feeling blah but not too terrible. I got some stuff done for my car registration that was a bit annoying. Hopefully it all comes through before I move because otherwise I am driving out of state with expired stickers and might get pulled over (my car registration is up to date, but I didn't get the stickers).
I didn't want to do my walk today because it is chilly and raining, but I did it anyway and I am glad I did. Once I sort of got used to the slightly unpleasant weather, it really did just feel good to be out of my studio and moving around. I feel like exercise is the one thing that helps both the irritability and depression at the same time, so that is my new tactic. I got a reply from one of the therapists I reached out to asking for more info about why I am seeking therapy, etc. I told her I am mostly looking for skills to help me manage my moods and anxiety. She has limited availability so we shall see. |

We've been driving through Maryland for a while now. No offense to Maryland, but I wish we reached Pennsylvania already. Soon. We plan to stay in Gettysburg. Tomorrow we'll do a little tourism there, then head home, which is only a little over 2 hours drive from there.
It's been odd noticing my husband's occasional struggles understanding the people we've encountered during our road trip. He is absolutely fluent in English, but has trouble with accents from outside the NY/NJ/PA areas. He also sometimes seems clueless about items or foods he's not used to. Like today in West Virginia, in a diner, he pointed to a confection and asked the waitress what it was. She was clearly shocked and perplexed by his question, so I quickly answered "peanut butter fudge". True. He had no idea. Also, the waitress looked relieved that I answered. As a follow up to the above, I will likely be in that same position when we get to Czech Republic. Last edited by Soupe du jour; Jan 11, 2021 at 05:32 PM. |

I went for a Covid test around 12:30. Then I had my phone call with the nurse half an hour ago. She’s treating it as a UTI. But she thought going for a Covid test was a good idea. I don’t have the respiratory stuff but I’ve had a low grade fever for 2 days and I have this awful headache right now. She said that you can have covid with diarrhea being the only symptom. The symptoms vary so much from person to person. But she’s treating it as a UTI and is giving me antibiotics and told me to get an at home urine test from Walgreens. I feel awful right now. I cancelled therapy tomorrow.

Feeling restless tonight. Need to do something. I already had dinner. It's not really time to clean. Better to do it in the afternoon. Dishes are done though.
Dropped one of my pills in the sink this morning and of course it went down the drain. The water wasn't even on. Im not sure which one it was and even if I did, I only have enough for what I'm prescribed- I can't get any extras because my pills come in blister packs.

I think it's so dumb that they give people only the exact number of pills. I'm pretty sure if you explain what happened to the pharmacy they'll front you a pill. Hopefully.

The UTI test shows a UTI. I have 2 other tests so I can check throughout the week if it’s gone. So I guess that explains why I’ve been feeling bad. My temp is fine and I still don’t have a cough or respiratory issues. overall I feel ok. Mood wise I’m fine. So probably it was a combination of the UTI and my PMDD. I’ve also been up every night for a few hours for a few weeks. I think I have a lot of anxiety because I see my surgeon tomorrow. I do think the weight loss and loss of appetite is med related.
But yeah there’s a UTI for sure. Is anyone getting ads all of a sudden at the bottom of their screens? I think that’s new.

That's good, though, that it showed up as a UTI. Antibiotics should clear it up. No, no ads....yet!!!!

Just got back from my injection. Heart rate was the best it's ever been. Other than today (which was 70), it's usually in the 100-120 zone or a couple times 40-50 (when I'd show up high). My weight went up a few pounds though, which I am pissed about. Saw two people without masks and both talked to me briefly, so hopefully nothing comes of that. Super tired. Slept like 10 hours last night.

I had my pdoc appointment.
My pdoc is going to look into ketamine. Apparently it is available now in some clinics.

BeyondtheRainbow- Very mixed. I haven't had very good luck with therapists down here. She wasn't "squishy" but was sexist. However we were both able to tolerate each other for a year and a half which is far longer then most T's are willing to work with me. She grew on me and I grew on her. I feel dumped. I know it's not what I did or anything and I know I didn't get as far as I could because I had to say stuff instead of write it but after our conversation I wanted to SH and throw up. I still kinda feel that way. Though I'm keeping myself busy.

Glad you figured out that you have a UTI. Now do you need antibiotics?

Good news! N3 FINALLY told me when his check up appointment is! It's in February. Better news: His dad/my ex got a new job and N3 will be covered under his insurance so he won't have to pay out of pocket.

Ads. Wow. None for me...yet...but I expect them any time.
I'm still in shock over the death of my friend, James. I just can't imagine never hearing his big, jolly laugh again, or getting a giant bear hug from him. It just feels all wrong. I had a really nice dream last night that I was shopping in this terrific hippie food store. It was all so healthy and abundant. Weird, in my dreams no one wears masks. I wonder if at some point masks will show up in my dreams? I feel like I'm on too much medication and want to go off some of it. I'll talk with my therapist today about it, then my pdoc next week. The prob is, I'm not sure which meds I want to decrease (besides all of them....).
