well, i set the alarm for 10.30 (it was 10 when i posted)... hit snooze once, then turned it off and slept till about 11.30. then i felt better. i think i needed it. i think the increased need for sleep is probably stress recovery.

i had decreased my benzo about 4 nights ago, because i suspected excessive sedation. is long acting... it takes that long to notice a decrease. yesterday and today i noticed anxiety. i guess i better increase it again.

at least i did get up at 9, make coffee, took my zoloft then... that might help to make me tired earlier in the evening. one can hope. i set up a pre-program on the heat so that we can have it turn itself up automatically after 6 hours (getting up easier when freezing butt off not involved)

i missed my pdoc appointment. it was at earlier time than usual and i forgot that. he called when i was getting ready to take the bus ... 45 mins into my scheduled appointment! :eek::o:rolleyes: he has a convention next week and won't be able to see me till 2 weeks away. i declined his offer to try to rearrange his schedule to fit me in tomorrow. i thanked him and said if i were ill i'd accept, but i am ok enough that i don't want him to add that inconvenience to my screwup.

i called the epilepsy center - talked to the volunteer coordinator. i proposed 2 half days, and am waiting for the office manager to call me back to confirm. if it works for her i will be going there tuesdays and thursdays 10am to 2pm.

i called the software consultant i'd put "on hold" regarding my job search. no answer - he might be away this week, since there was a long weekend. he may call back or i will.

now i will look for something else to do. i should "crack" my homework, but i am feeling resistant towards it. there are a couple of other things i want to do. maybe i can do a bit and a bit. i am bad at handling situations like this... i get very all or nothing. i need to improve my time/task management.

~ waves ~ nervous... i hate expecting callbacks.

thanks Donna and Bizi. :)

just waiting for the E center to call now... :o

the consultant called back early yesterday evening. it's cool he didn't decide to liquidate me or anything. this morning i sent him my updated resume. one down.

i had bad anxiety last night. took 2.5mg lorazepam. it mostly helped. it will take a while for the regular benzo to build up again.

today i have to
- call in and pick up a script from my GP
- call the school and tell them i'm available for teaching

yesterday i ended up taking out all the recycling/trash from the long weekend but didn't do any homework. i can't seem to get with the homework, so i am trying to break down the task a whole bunch here. so maybe today i can:
- open my homework assignments
- find and read the description of one i'm supposed to do next

i woke up at 8 spontaneously and took my coffee. this time i made the bed right away. at worst i can crash on the couch which is uncomfortable (but if i'm that tired i won't care.) but next thing is i am going to get dressed and make like i'm a regular human being or something.

Waves
What a wonderful morning you have had already.

If you can't do more than open your assignment book. And pick
out a section to do. Then say read a few of the pages and put
the thing back down. Do at least that. It would then consist
of having done some homework.

I will give you a thought. I am going to be gone till at least Friday
night. Maybe longer, I am going to inservice training with all my
bosses and co-workers. So maybe you can get one assisnment
completely started when I get back. If not done.
