Waves, thanks for breaking the Meds down for me, I get confused with the half lives and all. I should be at steady state on Latuda in two to three days so that is Sun to Mon! Yeah. I guess I really just need to get through the weekend.

I am in pretty good shape, good enought to do things that bring me peace. I used to push push push myself for faster run times (from the USMC) now I don't wear a watch. When I paddle I take Trip my service dog and it isn't a race, just peaceful enjoyment for us. Yoga, well, I am not the steadiest Yogi but I am enjoying the road of developing my practice....wow that all sounds pretty good. Maybe the Latuda is working.

Mari, thank you for asking about Trip. He partially tore his cruciate ligament and had surgery May 10. I followed the dr rehab instructions to a T which meant I couldn't take him out with me for two mos. he is back on the road with me now and his leg is in the final stages of healing (still gets sore) but he was out frolicking a ling time yesterday and is doing well.thanks for the smoothie tip. Tat is a really good idea for an afternoon pick me up. I went to Costco to pick up my contacts yesterday and they had the vitamix demo. Oh that poor lady. I went on and on about my vitamix. She probably thought I was nuts, she is right.

Bizi, thanks so much I knock out at night no problem around 8. I am on Depakote, trazadone, and buspar at nighti think the trazadone helps me sleep. I usually wake up at 10-1030 thinking it is morning but go right back to sleep until three or four. I am my 8 hours albeit a little earlier than most. My doc says it is my circadian rhythm and to let it ride.

BF thanks for the input too. I learned in therapy yesterday that buzzing around and putting too much thought (obsessing) into other people's stuff is avoidance.i mean I know food,shopping. Excessive exercise can all be avoidance too. I try to rest a bit, I find it really hard to sit still w/o doing anything. I love word finds and I have recently started jigsaw puzzles. So I am still busy but not exerting myself. Today I am going to yoga and maybe repot some plants and do puzzles. I know my car needs to be vacuumed and washed too so we will see how this day goes down.

Thanks tons for your replies, you are more supportive than physical people in my life today because you get it. Thanks.
I am going to to upload a pic of Tripon the kayak.
