Yesterday morning I took my ****ing day and nights pills by accident again :o I have bright orange warning stickers with "PM" written on them over the night time sections of my pillminder to prevent me from taking those pills absent-mindedly, and it's worked for a long time. I don't know what else I could do to prevent me from making that mistake again.

It took me a little while before I figured out what was going on. It's an absolutely miserable feeling, and it's REALLY dangerous to have that much Seroquel in you when you already have trouble walking... my legs were buckling. I've slept it off in the past, and that's how I decided to deal with it again this time. I didn't take any meds last night, and haven't taken any yet this morning either, but I still don't feel quite right.

Despite having 3 cups of coffee, I kinda feel like I might have to go back to bed. It's early (about 6:30), but I'm hesitant because I don't know how long I'll sleep if I do lay down, and I have things I absolutely have to do today. I guess I'll try taking my morning pills and see how they hit me.

I lost the day yesterday, so I never got around to fixing my shopping list or going to the grocery store. That will be my first priority today. But I have to go to NH to buy cigarettes, too. I may/may not get to the butcher shop, but I know I won't get around to doing the laundry, which hasn't been touched in a week.

On the upside, I ended up taking a MASSIVE amount of bowel meds along with all the other pills, and that worked out well for me this morning lol.

My morning meds did not go down well yesterday. I slept from about 8:30am until 1:30pm, and still woke up feeling off and terrible. I took a shower, but got nothing else done.

I think I got so screwed up this time because I'm on more Seroquel than I was last time, I'm taking lithium again, and I'm not as healthy as I was the last time I ****ed up.

I'm feeling much better this morning though :)

I am really behind because I lost those two days, and there are a million things that should be done... But I'm going food shopping and buying cigarettes because those things have to be done, and everything else will just have to wait.

What a game!!! When the Pats finally found their rhythm and got some momentum, they just would not relent. Unbelievable... :):):)

My husband had a few too many and went to bed about 15 minutes before the Patriots' game-tying touchdown, so of course he missed the overtime win, too. When he gets home, he's going to tell me that it doesn't bother him that he missed it, but I know better.

I didn't get to bed until midnight last night because I was so excited about the whole thing. I actually slept in and didn't wake up until almost 8am, which is a minor miracle.

So, I didn't wake up early enough to get laundry in. But there's cleaning to do around here that I didn't get to because I lost 2 days last week. I need to figure out what needs to get done today without overdoing it... still working on that.

I took my 4th cold shower in a little over a week on Saturday so I called the management office with some unkind words. The girl on the phone said it sounded like we are having problems with our water regulator. I have no idea how they would check on that/fix that... I hope that my shower would not be inoperable for any length of time... I think I would lose my ****. I still haven't called about the stove or the mysterious new orange stains on my kitchen ceiling. To say that I'm frustrated with maintenance issues would be a gross understatement. I hate this ****ing place!!!

oh kay,
I am so sorry about your lack of hot water! I would be ****** off too.
You know how I hate taking showers....I would just rot if I had to take a cold shower.
Got up late today...don't feel like working truth be known.
It has been along time since I felt this way.
I see my new therapist this thursday. I am dreading it. My idea but unknown territory if you know what I mean.
I want to go back to bed but can't.
Congratulations again on the pats, glad for you!
Be careful today.
((((hugs)))))
love you

Bizi, everybody has to have a day every now and then when they just wish they could jump back in bed and hide under the covers all day. I'm surprised you don't have more of them! I don't blame you for dreading the visit to the therapist (I hate going). Therapy is something that's hard to initiate, and you had a rather unpleasant experience with the last therapist. You will probably feel a lot better after you go on Thursday tho.

Nobody came about the cold showers yesterday. The email the office sent me regarding the maintenance request only said "general," so I don't know what information they provided to maintenance, and if they will even follow up. But the next time I end up stuck with shampoo in my hair when the water turns freezing cold, I'll be paying the office staff a visit.

I only got around to vacuuming yesterday, but it's a big job for me, so that's enough. I don't know if it was the vacuuming or how I slept during my nap, but I pulled something low in my neck/high in my back/my right shoulder and it's killing me. I NEED to get some laundry done today. There are some smaller things I can do, and I will pick one or more from that list to do depending on how I feel.

The parade for the Patriots is in Boston today, but the weather is going to be terrible. I'm obviously not going lol. It's not something I'd watch on TV either.

The weather is going to prevent me from getting some errands done, too. I swear it's been a mess every Tuesday for weeks now. At least I don't have an appointment I have to get to today.

bizi 02-07-2017 08:23 AM

I would march over there every day and put it in writing...
ugh!
