miss_lucy21I just need to make it to next Tuesday night. Then I can sleep all I want for the next five days.
It would be easier if I hadn't gone to work yesterday only to discover my, um, slowed down system was going to decide to resolve that issue at 9:30 am. Which would have been fine, except it was doing it very badly. So I wound up coming home to deal with that. Once everything got calmed down, I was going to log back into work, but I needed to lay down for what I thought was going to be an hour or so, and didn't wake back up until 3:45. So, I had to rearrange things. And deal with my stomach still being weirdly cranky today. This is not a thing that happens with me often, so I'm a bit out of sorts with it.
And, a friend died on Sunday. She was closer to my parents, but I knew her as well. She had ALS, so it wasn't a total shock, although I don't think anyone expected it to happen on Sunday. Her funeral is tomorrow. So I have rearranged things again (sometimes more than once) so that I can go to the funeral. I am not sad for her- she'd reached the point where she was unable to swallow properly- and I know she was suffering and I am glad that she no longer is. But it's a strange thing to explain that, yes, I'm going to a funeral. No, I am really okay, it's fine.
My mouth has gotten so dry that I have had to actually stop drinking as much water because I was overhydrating. There's other ways around it, but it's gotten my throat so irritated that my voice is awful. It's seriously croaky by lunchtime. I have to give a major presentation next week. These two things are not super compatible. And there's pretty much nothing I can do about it. It was not quite as bad before the Intuniv, but it was still happening more days than not, because every other single medication I'm on also has dry mouth as a side effect.
I don't know, maybe it's time to consider therapy to see if I could get off the antidepressants. Or maybe the Intuniv won't work- I haven't really noticed anything yet, but it's only the first week at the lowest dose that might be effective. I don't know.
And my cell phone has basically decided to 1) use up all the battery by about 1pm each day and 2) not actually send or receive texts with any sort of regularity. The battery thing I can deal with- I'm at my desk most of the day and I have a charger at work. The text thing is Not Okay. So I need to go to the store and see what kind of payment plans are available on new phones, because I'm pretty sure I don't get an upgrade until March. Which means my cell phone bill is going up. Meh.
