Boy, time sure flies when you're having fun, or getting used to a change in your medication (which might be the same thing in certain circumstances ...). For the previous two weeks, give or take a day, I'd been having problems with one of my medications. I was constantly tired and almost constantly asleep. At first I blamed the work I had done with/for Mom during her move. Unfortunately, that excuse can only last for three days before there is no longer a biological explanation. After that, I tried the ol' PMS excuse. Again, that one has a time limit and nature can't be fooled *that* much (not to mention Darling Adorable was starting to get tired of me being tired ...).
   So, lucky me, the first doc I get to see is my psychiatrist. I explain the problem, we chat about life and the pursuit of happiness and the Hippocratic Oath, and he explains that the new medication I was recently switched to needs some ‘tweaking'. So we are in the middle of the ‘tweaking' phase of this new medication which is supposed to be better for me than my old medication and do more for the Fibromyalgia that I've been diagnosed with. Fine. But in the meantime, to make things easier, he's giving me a little something to help me stay awake. So - with my metabolism, the new new medication is hitting like a triple pot of espresso and I am vibrating my way through the day. At least the basic chores are getting done and I'm catching up on everything except the computer work. Sigh. And Life is so close to being perfect.
   Hopefully I'll be able to come off the ‘helper' medication as soon as ‘tweaking' is over. Otherwise I may spend a lot of time building apartments and refinishing the furniture. At 9 am. With a toothbrush and a roll of toilet paper.
   I guess what I'm trying to say is that I hope to be back on a daily basis by the end of the week and keeping my regular schedule again. Things should have evened out by then. And maybe I won't be flying low, but be a balanced and contributing member of society. (I guess there's a first time for everything!)
