Day 7

Ugh. I think the pills are causing my most recent bout of insomnia. To be fair, I'm sure the extra cup of coffee late yesterday didn't help. But, I've been waking up around 6 again the past three days. I actually woke up the first time at 4:30 today! Hopefully that resolves itself soon.

I have also noticed that I seem to have one of the other common symptoms too: constipation. :/ Needless to say, that hasn't been much fun either.

I'm also not a huge fan of my thoughts upon waking. You know, before I've taken my meds. It's the same garbage that has plagued me for months. It's one thing in particular, which I don't care to share, but it's super annoying. I look forward to getting to a point where I DON'T think about that first thing in the morning.

Other than those two things, everything seems to be going well. Again, I'm loving this renewed interest and motivation in things. I got a new book from the library yesterday and started on making Christmas ornaments for the market. I'm both looking forward and dreading the baking part. It will be fun because Ripley is excited about it and helping me. But, it's going to be a loooong day on my feet. I hurt when I have to stand without moving much. 

Today, I'm going to play with the electric saw and wood burner for some different ornaments. More excited to use the wood burner than I have any right to be. It's probably been around a year since I've used it. I don't know why I like it so much, but I do. Lol

Woopsie. Soooo I accidentally took an almost 4 hour nap. 😳 I started nodding off while reading around 5. John was in the bath, so I figured I'd just lay down while I waited for him to get out since I need to take a shower. I woke up at 8:45, just in time to tuck the kids into bed. :/ 

I woke up the first time last night at 4:30. Ugh. I fell back asleep until 7:30, though I didn't feel like I slept great. Didn't feel all that tired during the day. Just kind of caught up to me this afternoon. I can't believe I took a nap for that long...And, again, that this isn't the new norm with the insomnia.

Day 28

I think (fingers crossed) the roller-coaster ride is over. Thank God. That said, some days I still feel like I may need a higher dosage. But...
