Thank you donna,
we had a great time....I liked the sour beer that I drank.
Had a delicious shrimp salad with soy ginger dressing.
It had a lot of toppings:
dice apples
grilled onions
pico deguillo

black olives

diced tomatoes

half an avocado
good greens
it was delicious!!!!
I think I will go the the UU fellowship for church

services in the morning, 1030 is fellowship.
Jeff is gone tonight he will be back tomorrow evening.
He said he really wanted to cut back on his drinking...does not want to ruin the next day with a hang over.
So will see about that
I hate being alone.

I'm glad you had such a great time!
Your salad sounds delicious! I love ginger dressing!

I'm sorry that Jeff was away
Were you able to get any sleep?

If he cuts back on his drinking, do you think it would be easier for you do do so as well?

It's early here... do you still plan on going to church, or did you go?

How are you feeling today?
Do you feel like the Zyprexa is helping at all? (((HUGS)))

I slept in late today.....out of bed at 11am. I needed some sleep so the medication is working. (missed church)
On to my next cup of coffee.
Am going to hub city diner for my BELT (Bacon lettuce tomato and egg sandwich)
I love it!
Got on the scale this morning 192.7....
sigh
need to get serious about my weight.
Need to do laundry today like usual for a sunday.
I hope every one is safe and cool...
The heat indexes are scary across the country.

WEll I spoke with Dr. orazio today ( my PDOC) and she wants me to start taking visteril an anti- histamine to sleep at night and 18mg of melatonin...I have never heard of taking that much have you?


She said to discontinue the zyprexa because of my restless legs...a symptom of TD. So we don't want to mess around with that. Thank goodness. I think I remember taking that in the past and having the same effect. I forget that.


I am glad that she is willing to prescribe something new.
I hope I sleep tonight.


So I told charmaine that I feel like I have OCD, obsessive compulsive disorder. She said to wait until my next appointment to discuss this. I asked her to relay this to my pdoc Dr. Orazio before so she has time to think about it.


Spend a good part of the day thinking about my compulsions(food, internet and alcohol, and picking). I think these can all be from an OCD type diagnosis. Carol is the one to mention it to me.



I called my sponsor (Carol) and told her that I was still drinking and that I wondered if I was right for AA. She said that there are a lot of people who still drink and go to AA. So I am still going to meet with her tomorrow night at 6pm and then go to the AA meeting at 8 pm on wednesday.


After work tonight I stopped by fat pats for a few beers.
After that I picked up my new rx for the visteril.


Jeff cooked Talapia for dinner tonight along with some edemami, It was delicious!. After cleaning up the dishes I came on here.
Having another beer or two before we watch downton abbey.
We really have been enjoying the show. The movie comes out in the fall I believe, looking forward to that.


Our kitty hattie has reoccurring cancer on her back. It has been operated 2 times and now has come back the third time so we are going to take her to baton rouge for an assessment and guidance toward chemo therapy. We can see doing that and not radiation. That would mean going to baton rouge once every 3 weeks like humans....not sure ...will wait and see what they recommend. It is an injection site tumor.
WE re just waiting for the cancer/tumor to cut off the blood supply to the skin above it to die and become a wound like the two last times. When that happens she will have to have dressing changes and wear the thunder shirt to hold the dressing in place.
Not sure where to go from here.....she is a sweet kittie and young 10 years old.
She is too young to just throw in the towel.
We don't have kids we have cats.

so sorry about Hattie.

I would want to try the chemo too.

I'm glad you talked to your sponsor about the drinking.
And she was so good at listening for lack of a better word.

Also glad you will meet with her and continue the meetings.
I think that is good. I'm still rooting that you can stop this
some time.

Now about the melantonin, yes some kids especially need 20mg
of that. My grandson for one example did. But he had to take
his two hours before we wanted him to go to bed.
But after a while we would have to raise his dosage, so when
he got to the 20 mg. We talked to the pediatrician and he
prescribed amtrippline. Spelled it wrong. Its for both sleep and
migraines.

It works.

I realize you don't have migraines, but Ive heard of it being prescribed
for just sleep. My husband was prescribed it for migraines and when
he took it he would sleep after a hour or two.
