I kinda lost yesterday. I woke up late but didn’t feel rested. I kinda laid around and next thing I knew I fell asleep in my chair. I slept for another eight hours! Guess I was making up for sleep I didn’t get earlier in the week.

Woke up and of course when it was bedtime I couldn’t sleep. I finally fell asleep around 7:00 this morning and got a couple ours of sleep. Trusting tonight I will get back on schedule.

I did manage to eat better today – at least so far. It has been a bit since I ate on plan. I even took both dogs for a walk this afternoon and walked a mile. It has bit since I managed to do that too.

No plans for tomorrow although I am going to try to get up fairly early and not sleep all day. I need to get back on track. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday I have to be in town by 9:00 each morning to do taxes so won’t be able to sleep in.

Sure hoping the accountant calls next week to let me know she has my taxes ready. I had to pay lots of estimated taxes for 2024 and am curious as to how close she estimated by taxes. Expecting the worse but hoping for the best.

Beginning to think the new medication I started about six weeks is causing more problems than it is solving. I am going to send a note to my doctor and let him know that I need to stop taking it. We reduced the dosage after the first 30 days but the side effects don’t seem to be going away and in fact seem to be increasing. My body didn’t read the rule book and doesn’t seem to like medication.

Still feeling a bit isolated. I have had to quit reading the news again. My little world feels small but safe right now. It is taking all my energy to keep myself above neutral. I peek my head out once in a while and it feels like someone is playing the game whack a mole and they find me each time.

Grateful for the extra sleep, grateful I think I figured out what is causing my symptoms, and grateful I was able to eat on plan and take a walk today.
